An upside break above the $1,850 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $1,920 resistance zone or even $2,000 in the near term.

A clear move below the $1,700 support might push the price toward the $1,650 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,620 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,550.
