ETH witnessed its first major correction after it started to rally post the mid-May sell off, as it fell from highs of $4,000 to $3,100 levels, before recovering later on. It was trading at $ 3,485.
During the fall, a good amount of profit booking was seen. Since then, however, investors have been buying at lower levels as the asset looks attractive. It is likely to be range-bound through the rest of the week.

ETH was consolidating and trading sideways in a range from $3,000 to $3,350 for the past three weeks. The asset finally gave a breakout on the upside and made a high of $4,027. However, the prices were struggling to breach and sustain above the $4k mark convincingly.
After resisting multiple times, ETH witnessed a sharp correction and fell almost by 24% and made a low of $3,026. Post this move, the asset is consolidating and trading in a narrow range from $3,400 to $3,550. ETH has a very strong support at $3,000. The lower longer shadow indicates buying at these levels. If prices hold and sustains above the support level, then we could expect the bulls to resume the up move.
Major Levels
Support: $2,950, $2,650
Resistance: $3,700, $4,000
