Immediate resistance is near the $1,820 level or the 100 hourly SMA. The next resistance sits near $1,850, above which Ethereum could gain bullish momentum and rise toward $1,920.  If there is a move above the $1,920 resistance level, the price might rise toward the $2,000 level. Any more gains above the $2,000 resistance zone could start a decent increase toward the $2,050 resistance.

More Losses in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,850 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,800 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,785 swing low to the $1,847 high.

The next major support is near the $1,790 zone. If there is a clear move below the $1,790 support, the price could gain bearish momentum. In the stated case, the price might drop toward the $1,740 support zone. Any more losses may perhaps take the price toward the $1,650 level in the near term.
