Ethereum price is now trading above $2,080 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2,020 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

If the bulls remain in action above $2,020, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,150 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,180 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,200 level. A clear move above the $2,200 resistance might send the price toward the $2,250 resistance. An upside break above the $2,250 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,320 resistance zone or even $2,350 in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,150 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,080 level. The first major support sits near the $2,065 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,929 swing low to the $2,200 high.

A clear move below the $2,065 support might push the price toward the $2,020 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,980 region. The main support could be $1,920.
