The next key resistance is near the $2,225 level or the channel trend line. The main resistance is still near $2,250. A clear move above the $2,250 zone could send the price toward the $2,300 level. The next resistance sits at $2,350. Any more gains could start a wave toward the $2,500 level.

More Losses in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,225 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,120 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,980 swing low to the $2,252 high.

The next key support is $2,045. The main support is now near $2,000. A downside break below $2,000 might start another major decline. In the stated case, Ether could revisit the $1,880 support. Any more losses might call for a test of the $1,820 support zone in the near term.
