Ethereum price extends losses
The price of Ethereum did not remain stable above $2,050 and, like Bitcoin, started a new decline. ETH price fell below the USD 2,020 and USD 2,000 levels.
The price even traded below $1,980. A low was formed at $1,964, and the price is now showing many bearish signs. There was a small recovery wave above the 23.6% Fib retracement level from the downward move from the $2,139 swing high to the $1,964 low. Additionally, a bearish trendline is forming with resistance at $2,010 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
The Ethereum price is now trading below $2,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls continue to act above $1,965, the price could rise again.
Immediate resistance is seen around the $2,010 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,020 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,050 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,139 swing high to the $1,964 low.
A clear move above the USD 2,050 resistance could send the price towards the USD 2,085 resistance. An upside break above the $2,085 region could lead to more gains in the coming days. In the mentioned case, Ether could rise towards the USD 2,120 or even USD 2,150 resistance zone in the short term.
