The first major resistance is near the $1,620 and $1,625 levels, above which the price could revisit the $1,665 high. A clear break above $1,665 level could set the stage for a fresh rally. In the stated case, the price could even test the $1,750 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1,800 resistance zone.

Downside Break in ETH?

The first major support is near the $1,550 level. A downside break below the $1,550 zone might call for a test of the 76% Fib retracement level of the main increase from the $1,485 swing low to $1,665 high. Any more losses may perhaps send the price towards the $1,485 support zone in the near term.
