Ethereum Price Dips Further
Ethereum price failed to stay above $1,950 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price traded below the $1,935 and $1,920 levels to enter a bearish zone.
Finally, the bulls appeared near $1,900. A low was formed at $1,905, and the price started a recovery wave. There was a move above the $1,945 resistance. The price tested the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,038 swing high to the $1,905 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $1,970 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $1,920, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $1,970 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,038 swing high to the $1,905 low.
The first key resistance is near the $1,985 level. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,985 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The next major resistance is near the $2,000 level. A clear move above the $2,000 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.
