The first key resistance is near the $2,090 level. A clear move above the $2,090 level could send the price toward the $2,150 resistance zone. The next resistance is near $2,200, above which the price could aim for a move toward the $2,250 level. Any more gains could start a wave toward the $2,320 level.

Another Drop in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,080 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,055 level and the triangle trend line.

The next key support is $2,010 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $1,930 swing low to the $2,092 high. The key support is now at $1,975. A downside break below the $1,975 support might trigger more losses. In the stated case, Ether could drop toward the $1,930 support zone in the near term.
