Ethereum Price Corrects Lower

As a result, there was a bearish reaction below the $1,900 level. The bears were able to push the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,850 swing low to the $1,938 high. Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $1,870 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

A close above the $1,925 level with a follow-up move above $1,940 might send the price toward the $2,000 resistance. The next major resistance might be $2,120. Any more gains could set the pace for a test of the $2,200 resistance.

More Losses in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,880 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,850 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,850 swing low to the $1,938 high.

The next major support is near the $1,840 zone, below which ether price might decline toward the $1,825 level. If there is a break below $1,825, the price might extend its decline toward $1,780.
