The next key resistance is near the $1,665 level. The first major resistance is near the $1,680 level. A clear move above the $1,680 resistance might send the price toward the $1,720 resistance. An upside break above the $1,720 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $1,750 resistance zone or even $1,800 in the near term.
More Losses In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,640 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,600 level. The first major support sits near the $1,575 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,482 swing low to the $1,668 high.
A clear move below the $1,575 support might push the price toward the $1,550 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,520 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,480.
