Ethereum Price Faces Resistance
Ethereum price started a fresh decline from the $2,020 resistance, like Bitcoin. ETH declined below the $2,000 support to enter a bearish zone.
The bears gained strength for a move below the $1,820 support. Finally, the bulls appeared near the $1,750 zone. A low was formed at $1,753 and the price is now correcting some losses. There was a move above the $1,780 and $1,850 resistance levels.
It cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,150 swing high to the $1,753 low. Ethereum price is now trading below $1,950 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $1,890 level. There is also a short-term bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,890 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The next key resistance is near the $1,920 level.
The first major resistance is near the $1,950 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,150 swing high to the $1,753 low. A clear move above the $1,950 resistance might send the price toward the $2,000 resistance.
An upside break above the $2,000 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,120 resistance zone or even $2,250 in the near term.
More Losses In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,890 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,845 level. The first major support sits near the $1,800 zone.
A clear move below the $1,800 support might push the price toward the $1,750 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,720 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,650.
