Technical Analysis and Predictions
If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,900 resistance level, it could continue to move down with initial support near $1,880 and major support at $1,850. A downside break below this level might send Ether further lower towards the $1,780 mark.
On a technical note, both MACD and RSI indicators are showing signs of possible changes in momentum. The MACD for ETH/USD is losing momentum in the bullish zone while the RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 level.
