Ethereum’s price started a decent increase above the $1,700 level. ETH climbed toward the $1,750 zone before the bears appeared, like Bitcoin.

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $1,700 level and the trend line. The next resistance is near the $1,710 level. A close above the $1,710 level might send the price toward the $1,750 zone. If there is a clear move above $1,750, Ethereum could rise toward the $1,800 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1,850 resistance.

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,710 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,690 level. The first key support is close to $1,680 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key increase from the $1,640 swing low to the $1,747 high.

The next major support is near the $1,665 level. If there is a downside break below $1,665, the price could extend its decline toward the $1,620 level. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,540 level in the near term.
