The price of Ethereum has dropped into the red.

Ethereum's value started to decline once it breached the $1,900 milestone and then fell below that level. The bears were put under more stress after ETH prices dropped below the $1,850 support level.

Even though the bears were successful in driving the price below $1,820, it continued to trade at a premium to $1,800. A support level has been established close to $1,806, and the price is currently consolidating its previous losses. At the moment, the price of ether is trading lower than $1,880, which is also below the 100-hourly simple moving average.

On the positive side, there is a short-term hurdle located at the $1,840 mark. It is quite close to the 23.6% Fib retracement of the most recent drop, which started at the swing high of $1,955 and ended at the low of $1,806.

The first significant point of resistance has already begun to materialize close to the $1,880 mark and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is the beginning of a substantial downward trend line building on the hourly chart of ETH/USD, with resistance located close to $1,880. The price drop from the swing high of $1,955 to the low of $1,806 is nearly retraced by 50% along the trend line, which is close to the level of the 50% Fibonacci retracement.

In the event that the price decisively breaks above the resistance level at $1,880, it is possible that it will then move above the level at $1,900. When the price breaks through the next major barrier, which is located at $1,920, it has a chance of entering the positive zone.

More Losses?

It is possible that the price of Ethereum will continue to decline if it is unable to break past the ceiling of $1,880. In the event that prices go lower, the initial support level is located at $1,800.

The price of ether may start to decline once it falls below $1,780, which is the next important support level. According to the previously described scenario, the cost might drop to $1,750. If there are any additional losses, it might open the door for a move closer to the $1,650 barrier.
