Immediate resistance is near the $1,900 zone. The next major resistance is near the $1,920 level (a multi-touch zone). A proper move above the $1,900 and $1,920 resistance levels might send Ether toward $1,950. The next resistance sits near $2,000, above which Ethereum could rise toward $2,040. Any more gains above the $2,040 resistance zone might send the price toward the $2,120 resistance.
Fresh Decline in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,900 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,860 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
The next major support is near the $1,840 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $1,777 swing low to the $1,898 high. If there is a break below the $1,840 support, the price could decline toward the $1,800 support. Any more losses may perhaps send the price toward the $1,775 level or even $1,740 in the coming sessions.
