Ethereum Price Revisits Support

Ethereum price failed to stay above $2,000 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price traded below the $1,960 and $1,950 levels to enter a bearish zone.

Finally, the bulls appeared near $1,920. A low was formed at $1,922, and the price started a recovery wave. There was a move above the $1,950 resistance. The price surpassed the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,038 swing high to the $1,922 low.

Ethereum price is now trading below $1,980 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $1,925, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $1,980 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,000 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,038 swing high to the $1,922 low.

There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,000 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The next major resistance is near the $2,020 level. A clear move above the $2,020 resistance might send the price toward the $2,050 resistance. An upside break above the $2,050 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,120 resistance zone or even $2,150 in the near term.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,000 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,935 level. The first major support sits near the $1,925 zone.

A clear move below the $1,925 support might push the price toward the $1,880 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,840 region. The main support could be $1,820.
