Ethereum Price Gains Momentum
Ethereum price remained supported above the $1,720 zone and started another increase, like Bitcoin. ETH climbed above the $1,780 and $1,800 resistance levels to set the tone for a larger increase.
The bulls even pushed the price above $1,850. A high was formed at $1,872 and the price is now consolidating gains. There was a minor decline and the price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,733 swing low to the $1,872 high.
Ethereum price is now trading above $1,800 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $1,850 level. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance at $1,860 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The next key resistance is near the $1,880 level. The first major resistance is near the $1,920 level. A clear move above the $1,920 resistance might send the price toward the $1,950 resistance. An upside break above the $1,950 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,000 resistance zone or even $2,050 in the near term.
Another Decline In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,880 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,840 level. The first major support sits near the $1,800 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,733 swing low to the $1,872 high.
A clear move below the $1,800 support might push the price toward the $1,765 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,720 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,650.
