Ethereum Price Struggles To Clear Resistance


Ethereum price failed to clear the $1,880 resistance and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin. ETH declined below the $1,850 and $1,820 support levels.


There was a move below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,734 swing low to the $1,872 high. The bears even pushed the price below the $1,800 level, but the price found support near the $1,785 support level.


Ethereum price is now trading below $1,800 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,830 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.


On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $1,820 level. The next key resistance is near the $1,830 level and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $1,880 level.

A clear move above the $1,880 resistance might send the price toward the $1,920 resistance. An upside break above the $1,920 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,000 resistance zone or even $2,050 in the near term.


More Losses In ETH?


If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,830 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,785 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,734 swing low to the $1,872 high. The first major support sits near the $1,750 zone.


A clear move below the $1,750 support might push the price toward the $1,720 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,685 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,640.
