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.

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.

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.
