Ethereum price looks fresh
Ethereum price peaked before the $2,000 support before the bulls appeared. ETH traded as low as $1,986 and recently started a recovery wave, much like Bitcoin.
There was a decent increase above the USD 2,020 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,132 swing high to the $1,986 low. Additionally, there was a break above a key bearish trendline with resistance around $2,040 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Ethereum is now trading above $2,040 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,075 zone. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,132 swing high to the $1,986 low.
The first major resistance is near the $2,100 level. The next resistance is at $2,130. A clear move above the USD 2,130 level could send the price towards the USD 2,150 resistance zone.

The next resistance is near USD 2,220, above which the price could aim for a move towards the USD 2,265 level. Any further gains could trigger a wave towards the $2,320 level.
Another drop in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the USD 2,075 resistance, it could trigger another decline. The initial downside support is near the $2,045 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, below which the bears could gain strength.
The next major support is $2,000. A downward break below $2,000 could trigger a strong bearish move. The key support is now at $1,930, below which there is a risk of a move towards the $1,880 level in the near term.
