Ethereum Price Dips Further

Ethereum price started a fresh decline after it failed to stay above $2,020, like Bitcoin. ETH price declined below $2,000 to enter a bearish zone.

Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $2,020 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair even dipped below $1,920. A low was formed at $1,912, and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,200 swing high to the $1,912 low.

Ethereum price is now trading below $1,980 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 $1,980 level.

The first key resistance is near the $2,020 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,050 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,200 swing high to the $1,912 low. A clear move above the $2,050 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 $2,200 resistance zone or even $2,250 in the near term.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,020 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,920 level. The first major support sits near the $1,880 zone.

A clear move below the $1,880 support might push the price toward the $1,850 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,810 region. The main support could be $1,750.
