There is also a key bullish flag forming with resistance near $1,890 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. If there is an upside break above the flag resistance, there are chances of a strong increase above $1,900. The next key resistance is near the $1,950 level, above which the price may even clear the $2,000 resistance zone in the coming sessions.
Downside Break in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to continue higher above the $1,890 and $1,900 resistance levels, it could correct further lower. The first key support is near the $1,850 level.
The main support is now forming near the $1,830 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If there is a downside break below the $1,830 support, ether price might decline towards the $1,800 level. Any more losses could possibly call for a test of the key $1,750 support zone in the near term.
