Ethereum Price Dips Further

Ethereum price failed to clear the $2,450 resistance zone and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH gained pace below the $2,350 and $2,320 support levels to move further in a bearish zone.

The price declined over 5% and even traded below the $2,220 support zone. A low was formed at $2,123 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is showing many bearish signs below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,520 swing high to the $2,123 low.

Ethereum price is now trading below $2,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,260 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,220 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,250 level or the trend line and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2,520 swing high to the $2,123 low.

The main resistance is now forming near $2,350. A clear move above the $2,360 resistance might send the price toward the $2,450 resistance. An upside break above the $2,450 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,500 resistance zone or even $2,550 in the near term.

More Losses In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,250 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,120 level. The first major support sits near the $2,050 zone.

A clear move below the $2,050 support might push the price toward the $2,000 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,880 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,750.
