Ethereum price consolidates losses
Ethereum price failed to stay stable above $2,100 and began a fresh decline, just like Bitcoin. The ETH price fell below the $2,080 and $2,065 levels.
The price even dropped below $2,050. The low has formed at $2,009 and the price is currently showing multiple bearish signs and is well below the 23.6% Fib retracement level resulting from the downward move from the $2,138 high to the $2,009 low. Additionally, a bearish trend line is forming on the hourly chart of ETH/USD with resistance at $2,040.
Ethereum price is currently trading below $2,030 and the 100-hour uncomplicated moving average. If the bulls keep the action above $2,000, the price may be tempted to move higher again.
Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,040 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,060 level. The next major resistance is located near the $2,090 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level, which is the result of a downward move from the $2,138 high to the $2,009 low.
