On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,060 level and the channel region. The next major resistance sits at $2,085, above which the price could accelerate higher. In the stated case, the price could rally toward the $2,120 resistance. The next key resistance is near $2,150, above which the price could aim for a move toward the $2,200 level.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,085 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,025 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,906 swing low to the $2,137 high.

The next key support is $2,000 and the channel zone. A downside break below the $2,000 support might spark bearish moves. In the stated case, Ether could drop toward the $1,930 support zone in the near term. Any more losses might call for a drop toward the $1,850 level.
