Ethereum Price Trims Gains

ETH traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,986 swing low to the $2,076 high. Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $2,040 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum is now trading below $2,050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. It is now consolidating above the $2,020 support zone. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $2,00 zone and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

The first key resistance is near the $2,075 level. The next resistance sits at $2,090. A clear move above the $2,090 level could send the price toward the $2,130 resistance zone.

The next resistance is near $2,200, above which the price could aim for a move toward the $2,250 level. Any more gains could start a wave toward the $2,320 level.

More Losses in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,050 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,020 level. The next key support is $2,000.

A downside break below $2,000 might start a steady decline. The key support is now at $1,930, below which there is a risk of a move toward the $1,880 level in the near term.
