Ethereum Price Starts Downside Correction


Ethereum price remained stable above the $1,720 level and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin. ETH traded above the $1,750 and $1,780 levels. The bulls even pumped the price above the $1,800 level.


A high was formed near $1,850 and the price recently started a downside correction. There was a move below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,723 swing low to the $1,848 high. The price even dipped below the $1,800 level.

Ethereum price is now trading below $1,780 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $1,775 level.

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.


More Losses In ETH?


If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,800 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,750 level. The first major support sits near the $1,700 zone.

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.
