Ethereum Price Holds Steady Above $2,000
Currently, Ethereum is maintaining a positive trend above the $2,000 support zone and is trading above $2,010 as well as the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. However, a bearish trend line is forming with resistance near $2,090 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
Ethereum Price Remains In Uptrend
Despite failing to clear the $2,100 resistance and experiencing a decline below the $2,050 level, Ethereum’s bulls managed to keep the price above $2,030. After forming a low near $2,031, Ethereum is now trading above $2,040 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
The price is currently facing resistance near the $2,075 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,118 swing high to the $2,031 low. Additionally, a connecting bearish trend line with resistance near $2,090 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD poses a challenge for further increase.

If Ethereum manages to close above the trend line and surpasses the $2,100 resistance zone, it could potentially move higher toward the $2,150 zone. Further resistance levels are at $2,220 and $2,300. However, failure to clear the $2,100 resistance could initiate a fresh decline with initial support at around $2,030.
Another Bearish Wave in ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,100 resistance and drops below the support levels at $2,030 and $2,000, it might experience a sharp decline towards the $1,930 support zone. Further losses could lead to a drop toward the $1,850 level.
