Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $1,840 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below the $1,800 and $1,780 levels.

The price even traded below $1,750. A low was formed at $1,715, and the price is now consolidating losses well below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,888 swing high to the $1,715 low. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,750 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum price is now trading below $1,750 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $1,700, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $1,750 level.

The first key resistance is near the $1,800 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,888 swing high to the $1,715 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 $1,880 resistance. An upside break above the $1,880 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $1,920 resistance zone or even $1,965 in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,880 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,715 level. The first major support sits near the $1,680 zone.

A clear move below the $1,680 support might push the price toward the $1,650 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,625 region. The main support could be $1,600.
