Ethereum Price Dips Again
Ethereum price failed to continue higher above $2,100 and started another decline, like Bitcoin. ETH declined below the $1,920 and $1,880 support levels.

Ethereum price is now trading below $1,880 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1,820 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $1,820 level. The next key resistance is near the $1,880 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,033 swing high to the $1,767 low. The first major resistance is near the $1,920 level.
A clear move above the $1,920 resistance might send the price toward the $2,000 resistance. An upside break above the $2,000 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,050 resistance zone or even $2,120 in the near term.
