There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,660 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The first major resistance is near the $1,670 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,785 high to $1,559 low. A clear move above the $1,670 level could start a steady increase to $1,700. If the bulls remain in action, the price may perhaps rise towards the $1,750 resistance zone.
Fresh Decline in ETH?
If ethereum fails to rise above the $1,670 resistance, it could start another decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,620 zone.
The next major support is near $1,560, below which there is a risk of a sharp decline. In the stated case, ether price may perhaps decline towards the $1,505 support in the near term. Any more losses might call for a test of the $1,450 level.
