Ethereum Price Trims Gains as Key Support Level Could Spark Fresh Rally
Ethereum price initiated a downside correction from the $1,940 zone against the US Dollar. ETH may revisit the key $1,840 support level in the near term.
- Ethereum failed to clear the $1,925 and $1,940 resistance levels.

Ethereum Price Corrects Lower
Ethereum’s price attempted further upside above the $1,925 and $1,940 resistance levels. However, ETH struggled to settle above the $1,925 resistance zone, mirroring Bitcoin‘s movement.
As a result, a bearish reaction occurred below the $1,900 level. Bears pushed the price below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $1,850 swing low to the $1,938 high. Additionally, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $1,870 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Ether is now trading below $1,880 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is also displaying bearish signs below the $1,865 support.
If a recovery wave emerges, the price may face resistance near $1,880 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The next major resistance is near the $1,900 zone. The primary resistance is currently forming near the $1,925 and $1,940 levels.
A close above the $1,925 level followed by a move above $1,940 could send the price toward the $2,000 resistance. The next major resistance might be $2,120. Further gains could set the pace for a test of the $2,200 resistance.
More Losses in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,880 resistance, it could continue to move lower. Initial downside support is near the $1,850 level or the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $1,850 swing low to the $1,938 high.
The next major support is near the $1,840 zone, below which the ether price might decline toward the $1,825 level. A break below $1,825 could see the price extend its decline toward $1,780.
