Ethereum price managed to stay above $2,020 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $2,065 and $2,120 resistance levels.

The price cleared the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,385 swing high to the $2,025 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,145 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum price is now trading above $2,120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,100, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,180 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,200 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,385 swing high to the $2,025 low.

The next major resistance is near the $2,250 level. A clear move above the $2,250 resistance might send the price toward the $2,300 resistance. An upside break above the $2,300 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,345 resistance zone or even $2,365 in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,180 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,140 level. The first major support sits near the $2,110 zone.

A clear move below the $2,110 support might push the price toward the $2,065 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,010 region. The main support could be $2,000.
