Ethereum Price Dips Again

Ethereum price started a decent increase above the $1,600 pivot level. ETH attempted a fresh upside break above the $1,640 resistance zone, but the bears protected more upsides.

The next major resistance is near the $1,640 level. An upside break above the $1,640 resistance zone could start a decent increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise towards the $1,720 resistance.

More Losses in ETH?

If ethereum fails to clear the $1,600 resistance, it could continue to move down. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,550 level or the triangle lower trend line.

The next major support is near the $1,520 level. If there is a break below $1,520, the price might drop towards the $1,450 support. Any more losses might call for a retest of the $1,365 zone in the near term.
