Immediate resistance is near the $1,835 level. The next resistance sits near $1,840, above which Ethereum could test the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The main resistance is now forming near the $1,880 level. A close above the $1,880 resistance zone could start a decent increase toward the $1,920 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1,975 resistance.
Downside Break in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,840 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,820 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,792 swing low to the $1,865 high.
The next major support is near the $1,800 zone. If there is a downside break and a close below $1,800, the price could decline heavily. In the stated case, the price might drop toward the $1,740 support zone. Any more losses may perhaps take the price toward the $1,650 level in the near term.
