Ethereum Price Dives Over 5%

The price even traded below $1,800. A low was formed at $1,716, and the price is now consolidating losses well below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,889 swing high to the $1,716 low. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,800 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

The first key resistance is near the $1,800 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,889 swing high to the $1,716 low. The next major resistance is near the $1,820 level. A clear move above the $1,820 resistance might send the price toward the $1,850 resistance. An upside break above the $1,850 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $1,880 resistance zone or even $1,920 in the near term.

A clear move below the $1,700 support might push the price toward the $1,665 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,640 region. The main support could be $1,620.
