There is also a key ascending channel forming with support near $1,710 on the same chart. If there is a downside break below the channel support, the price could decline towards the $1,650 support zone.

On the upside, the price is clearly facing a major resistance near the $1,760 and $1,770 levels. A proper break above $1,770 might spark a rally. The next key resistance is near the $1,880 level.

Dips Supported in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,760 and $1,770 resistance levels, it could correct lower. On the downside, the first major support is near the $1,660 level.

The next major support is near the $1,635 level and 100 hourly simple moving average. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $1,488 swing low to $1,777 high is also near the $1,635 level to provide support in the near term.
