Ethereum Price Holds Key Support

However, the bulls were active above the $1,920 support zone. A low was formed near $1,933 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is trading near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $2,118 swing high to the $1,933 low.

The next major resistance sits at $2,025 or the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $2,118 swing high to the $1,933 low. A close above the trend line and $2,025 could start a decent increase.
