Ethereum Price Faces Resistance
Ethereum’s price managed to stay above the $1,800 support zone. ETH formed a base and recently started an upside correction above $1,850, similar to Bitcoin at $28,000.
The price was able to climb above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $1,940 swing high to the $1,805 low. However, the price struggled to surpass the $1,880 resistance zone and failed to stay above the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
Ether is now trading below $1,880 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It seems to be facing hurdles near the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $1,940 swing high to the $1,805 low.
There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,870 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The next major resistance seems to be forming near $1,900. A close above the $1,900 level might start a fresh increase. In the stated case, the price could rise toward the $1,950 resistance.

Any more gains could send Ether toward the $2,000 resistance. In the stated case, Ether could even attempt a move toward the $2,000 zone, above which the price could gain bullish momentum and even test $2,120.
Fresh Decline in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,880 resistance, it could start another bearish wave. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,840 level.
The next major support is near the $1,800 zone or the last swing low, below which ether price might drop toward the $1,765 support zone. Any more losses may perhaps take the price toward the $1,720 level in the near term.
