On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $2,175 level. It is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,200 high to $2,102 low. The main hurdle is still near $2,200, above which the price is likely to start a strong rally. In the stated case, ether might jump 8%-10%.
Dips Limited in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,200 resistance, it could correct lower. The first major support is now forming near the $2,125 level, the 100 hourly SMA, and the trend line.
The main support is now near the $2,100 level. A clear downside break below the trend line support and the $2,100 zone could lead the price towards the $2,000 support level in the coming sessions. Any more losses will most likely call for a test of $1,940.
