Ethereum price started a fresh decline

Ethereum struggled to establish resistance above $1,926 and $1,940. The price is below 1880 dollars. A break was below a major uptrend line with support near $1,896. The currency may continue to move lower if it clears the $1,800 support area.

The Ethereum value stepped up its game and ascended past the $1,850 mark. ETH struggled to settle above the $1,925 and $1,940 resistance levels.

The current resistance is near the $1,850 level. It is near the 23.62% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,939 to $1,824 low.

A close above the $1,900 level could initiate a new uptrend. In this case, the price could rise toward the $1,940 resistance. Any additional gains could push Ether closer to the $2,000 resistance.
