  • The price is trading below $1,620 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

Ethereum Price Gains Pace

Ethereum price formed a base above $1,500 and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin. ETH gained pace for a move above the $1,550 and $1,580 resistance levels.

The bulls even pumped the price above the $1,620 zone. A high was formed at $1,668 and the price recently started a downside correction. There was a move below the $1,650 support zone. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,482 swing low to the $1,668 high.

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 $1,640 level. There is also a new connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,640 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum Price

The next key resistance is near the $1,665 level. The first major resistance is near the $1,680 level. A clear move above the $1,680 resistance might send the price toward the $1,720 resistance. An upside break above the $1,720 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.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,640 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,600 level. The first major support sits near the $1,575 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,482 swing low to the $1,668 high.

A clear move below the $1,575 support might push the price toward the $1,550 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,520 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,480.
