Ethereum Price Faces Resistance<\/h2>\n

Ethereum price failed to stay above $2,000 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin<\/a>. ETH price traded below the $1,950 and $1,940 levels to enter a bearish zone.<\/p>\n

Finally, the bulls appeared near $1,925. A low was formed at $1,928, and the price started a recovery wave. There was a move above the $1,950 resistance. The price even spiked above the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,101 swing high to the $1,928 low.<\/p>\n

Ethereum price is now trading below $2,020 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average<\/a>. If the bulls remain in action above $1,950, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,020 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,101 swing high to the $1,928 low.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The first key resistance is near the $2,035 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,060 level. A clear move above the $2,060 resistance might send the price toward the $2,120 resistance. An upside break above the $2,120 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,150 resistance zone or even $2,185 in the near term.<\/p>\n

Another Decline In ETH?<\/h2>\n

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,020 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,970 level. The first major support sits near the $1,940 zone or the trend line.<\/p>\n

A clear move below the $1,940 support might push the price toward the $1,880 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,820 region. The main support could be $1,780.<\/p>\n
