Ethereum slid below $2,000 and the 100-hour SMA, dipping to $1,955 while hourly MACD turned more bearish and RSI dropped below 50. Immediate resistance is $2,000–$2,050 with a key pivot at $2,020 and supports at $1,955, $1,920 and $1,880; failure to reclaim $2,020 could push ETH toward $1,850–$1,780, posing downside risk to crypto and DeFi activity as well as DEX/CEX flows.

Ethereum Price Extends Decline

Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $2,020 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below the $2,010 and $2,000 levels.

The price even traded below $1,980. A low was formed at $1,955, and the price recently attempted a minor recovery wave. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,035 swing high to the $1,955 low.

However, the bears remained active near $2,000. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,010 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

Ethereum price is now trading below $2,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $1,955, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,000 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,035 swing high to the $1,955 low.

The first key resistance is near the $2,020 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,050 level. A clear move above the $2,050 resistance might send the price toward the $2,080 resistance. An upside break above the $2,080 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,120 resistance zone or even $2,150 in the near term.

More Downside In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,000 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,955 level. The first major support sits near the $1,920 zone.

A clear move below the $1,920 support might push the price toward the $1,880 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,850 region. The main support could be $1,780.
