Immediate resistance is near the $1,905 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,917 high to the $1,867 low.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,920 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,885 level and the trend line.

The next major support is near the $1,880 zone or the 100 hourly SMA, below which ether price might drop toward the $1,840 support zone. Any more losses may perhaps take the price toward the $1,805 level in the near term.
