Ethereum Price Fails To Follow Bitcoin
Ethereum price attempted a fresh increase above the $1,800 resistance zone. However, ETH struggled to clear the $1,840 resistance zone. It faced two rejections and reacted to the downside, unlike bitcoin.

Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $1,760 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

The main resistance is still near the $1,840 zone. A close above the $1,840 resistance zone might start another major increase. In this case, the price may perhaps rise towards the $1,920 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price towards $2,000.
More Losses in ETH?
If ethereum fails to clear the $1,800 resistance, it could continue to move down. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,740 level.
The next major support is near the $1,690 zone or the 1.618 Fib extension level of the upward move from the $1,750 swing low to $1,845 high. If there is a break below $1,690, the price might drop towards $1,615. Any more losses might call for a test of the $1,550 level.
