Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,085 level or the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,138 swing high to the $2,052 low. The first key resistance is near the $2,100 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,120 level. A clear move above the $2,120 resistance might send the price toward the $2,150 resistance. An upside break above the $2,150 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,220 resistance zone or even $2,250 in the near term.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,100 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,065 level. The first major support sits near the $2,050 zone.

A clear move below the $2,050 support might push the price toward the $2,020 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,940 region. The main support could be $1,920.
