However, the bears are protecting the $2,100 zone. The price struggled near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,140 swing high to $1,981 low. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2,075 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

On the downside, there is a major support forming near the $2,000 level and the 100 hourly SMA. As long as there is no downside break below $2,000, ether is likely to start a fresh increase above the $2,100 level.

Major Correction in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to stay above the $2,000 support and the 100 hourly SMA, there is a risk of a downside break. The first major support is near the $1,980 level.

Any more losses might lead ether price towards the $1,900 support zone. If the bulls fail to protect $1,900, there could be a test of the $1,850 support zone in the near term.
