Ethereum’s price has dropped again, falling below $2,050. It’s now hovering under $2,150 and may have a hard time bouncing back. The decline pushed past the $2,150 mark, and the price is currently below both $2,150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data from Kraken), a trend line is forming with support around $2,050. If the price stays under $2,150, it could keep moving lower.
Ethereum’s losses are extending. After failing to hold above $2,220, it started a downward correction similar to Bitcoin’s. The price slipped below $2,200 and $2,150, and even dipped under $2,050. A low of $1,914 was hit on Kraken, and now the price is steadying as it recovers from those losses. There was a bounce that went above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the drop from the $2,197 high to the $1,914 low. Right now, Ethereum is trading below $2,150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Also, a trend line with support at $2,050 is visible on the hourly ETH/USD chart.
If buyers stay active above $2,050, the price might try to rise again. The first resistance is around $2,130, with the next key level at $2,150—which also matches the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement of the drop from $2,197 to $1,914. After that, major resistance is near $2,200. A clear break above $2,200 could push the price toward $2,250. If it moves past $2,250, more gains might follow in the coming days, potentially reaching $2,300 or even $2,320 soon.
Could ETH Drop Again?
If Ethereum can’t break through the $2,150 resistance, it might start another decline. The first support is near $2,085, with a bigger support zone around $2,050. A clear drop below $2,050 could send the price toward $2,000. Further losses might target $1,920, with the main support at $1,880.
