Ethereum Price Recovery Faces Resistance
Ethereum price failed to stay above the $1,700 support zone and extended losses, like Bitcoin. ETH declined heavily below the $1,650 and $1,620 levels.
The bears even pushed the price below the $1,550 level. A low was formed at $1,410 and the price recently corrected some losses. There was a move above the $1,550 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,815 swing high to the $1,410 low.
However, the bears are active near the $1,620 zone. Ethereum price is now trading below $1,620 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $1,615 level.
There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,615 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,815 swing high to the $1,410 low. The next key resistance is near the $1,660 level.
The first major resistance is near the $1,720 level. A clear move above the $1,720 resistance might send the price toward the $1,820 resistance. An upside break above the $1,820 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $1,880 resistance zone or even $1,920 in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,620 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,540 level. The first major support sits near the $1,505 zone.
A clear move below the $1,505 support might push the price toward the $1,420 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,380 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,320.
