The first key resistance is near the $2,090 and $2,100 levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent dive from the $2,175 high to $2,009 low is also near $2,090. A close above $2,100 might start a decent recovery wave in the near term. The next major resistance is near the $2,175 level.
More Losses in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to recover above $2,050 or $2,100, it could continue to move down. An initial support on the downside is near the $2,010 level.
