On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $1,820 level. The next key resistance is near the $1,840 level. The first major resistance is near the $1,880 level. A clear move above the $1,880 resistance might send the price toward the $1,950 resistance. An upside break above the $1,950 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,000 resistance zone or even $2,050 in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,820 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,785 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,734 swing low to the $1,873 high. The first major support sits near the $1,765 zone.

A clear move below the $1,765 support might push the price toward the $1,735 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,720 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,650.
