The next major resistance is near the $1,780 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $1,854 swing high to the $1,718 low.

A proper move above the $1,775 and $1,780 resistance levels might send Ether toward $1,850. The next resistance sits near $1,880, above which Ethereum could rise toward the key barrier at $1,920. Any more gains above the $1,920 resistance zone might send the price toward the $2,000 resistance.
More Downsides in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,755 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,720 level.
The next major support is near the $1,700 level. If there is a break and close below the $1,700 support, the price could decline toward the $1,640 support. Any more losses may perhaps send the price toward the $1,600 level or even $1,550 in the coming sessions.
