Ethereum Breaks Minor Resistance Levels, Faces Rejection at $1,800 Resistance Zone

Ethereum bulls have broken the minor resistances at $1,600 and $1,700 as price reaches the high of $1,760. However, the selling pressure at a recent high has made upward move impossible.

Traders believe that a retest at the $2,000 overhead resistance is likely if the minor resistance levels are cleared. However, the current uptrend is facing resistance at the $1,800 resistance zone. The bottom line is that once the price is sustained above the $1,800 support, a rally to $2,000 overhead resistance is likely. Besides, the ETH/USD will resume upside momentum. Conversely, if price falls and breaks below the $1,600 support, Ether will decline and fall into the previous range-bound zone. Presently, Ether is fluctuating between $1,680 and $1,800 but it is trading at $1,720.35 at the time of writing.
