The next resistance is near $2,090, above which the price could aim for a move toward the $2,120 level. Any more gains could start a wave toward the $2,200 level.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,020 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,950 level. The next key support is $1,935.

The main support is $1,920. A downside break below the $1,920 support might start a steady decline. In the stated case, Ether could drop toward the $1,850 support zone in the near term. Any more losses might call for a drop toward the $1,800 level.
