Ether price is now trading above $1,820 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $1,920 level. The first major resistance is near the $1,940 level. A clear move above the $1,940 level could start a steady increase to $2,000. If there are more upsides, the price may perhaps rise towards the $2,120 resistance zone in the near term.

If ethereum fails to rise above the $1,940 resistance, it could start a downside correction. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,880 zone and the trend line. The next major support is near $1,855.

The main support is near the $1,800 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $1,655 low to $1,943 high, below which there is a risk of more losses. In the stated case, ether price may perhaps decline towards the $1,765 support. Any more losses might call for a test of the $1,720 level.
