Ethereum Price Reclaims $1,650

The price even cleared the key $1,650 resistance zone. A high is formed near $1,700 and the price is now consolidating gains. It is trading well above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,620 swing low to the $1,700 high.

In the stated case, Ether could start a strong increase toward the $1,880 resistance. Any more gains might open the doors for a move toward $2,000.
Downside Correction in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,700 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,660 level.
