There was a break below a contracting triangle with support at $1,975 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The price even traded below $1,920.

Ethereum price is now trading below $1,950 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $1,840, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $1,880 level.
The first key resistance is near the $1,900 level. The next major resistance is near the $1,920 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,003 swing high to the $1,836 low. A clear move above the $1,920 resistance might send the price toward the $1,950 resistance. An upside break above the $1,950 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,000 resistance zone or even $2,020 in the near term.
