Ethereum price managed to form a base and traded above the $1,950 resistance, like Bitcoin. ETH price rallied above the $2,020 and $2,050 resistance levels.

The bulls even pumped the price above $2,120. A high was formed at $2,158 before there was a downside correction. The price dipped below $2,000 and tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,792 swing low to the $2,158 high before the bulls appeared.

Ethereum price is now trading above $2,020 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $1,975, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,040 level and the trend line.

The first key resistance is near the $2,080 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,120 level. A clear move above the $2,120 resistance might send the price toward the $2,155 resistance. An upside break above the $2,155 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,220 resistance zone or even $2,250 in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,040 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,000 level. The first major support sits near the $1,975 zone.

A clear move below the $1,975 support might push the price toward the $1,935 support or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,792 swing low to the $2,158 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,900 region. The main support could be $1,880.
