  • The price is trading below $1,600 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

  • There is a new connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,600 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).

  • The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $1,655 resistance zone.


Ethereum Price Faces Resistance


Ethereum price struggled to continue higher above $1,700 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH declined below the $1,620 and $1,600 support levels. It even spiked below $1,550.


A low was formed at $1,538 and the price is now correcting some losses. There was a move above the $1,565 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,690 swing high to the $1,538 low.


Ethereum price is now trading below $1,600 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $1,600 level. There is also a new connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,600 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.


The next key resistance is near the $1,615 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,690 swing high to the $1,538 low. The first major resistance is near the $1,650 level. A clear move above the $1,650 resistance might send the price toward the $1,690 resistance.

An upside break above the $1,690 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $1,750 resistance zone or even $1,800 in the near term.


Another Decline In ETH?


If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,600 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,560 level. The first major support sits near the $1,535 zone.


A clear move below the $1,535 support might push the price toward the $1,500 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,420 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,400.
