Ethereum Price Finds Support At $2,000


Ethereum price started a fresh decline from the $2,550 resistance zone, like Bitcoin. ETH gained bearish momentum below the $2,420 and $2,350 support levels.


There was a clear move below the $2,220 support zone and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The price even tested the $2,000 zone. A low was formed at $2,003 and the price is now attempting to recover above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,550 swing high to the $2,003 low.


There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $2,080 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.


On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,220 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,275 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,550 swing high to the $2,003 low.


Ethereum Price


A clear move above the $2,275 resistance might send the price toward the $2,350 resistance. An upside break above the $2,350 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,450 resistance zone or even $2,500 in the near term.


Another Drop In ETH?


If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,275 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,130 level. The first major support sits near the $2,080 zone.


A clear move below the $2,080 support might push the price toward the $2,020 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,000 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,880.
