The price of Ethereum (ETH) is falling after the altcoin failed to break through the $2,131 mark.

Long-term analysis of the Ethereum price: Bullish

The largest altcoin also failed to hold above the psychological price level of $2,000 per coin. Ether fell to a low of $1,940 before recovering. The bulls are stopping the decline above the 21-day SMA as the cryptocurrency rises above the moving average lines.

On a positive note, Ether will continue its uptrend if it recovers above the current support. This will push the cryptocurrency back above the $2,000 mark. The uptrend will continue to the high of $2,200. The bears will try to break below the 21-day SMA if the upside scenario is violated. Ether is at risk of a decline if the bears break below the 21-day SMA. The bearish momentum will extend to a low above the 50-day simple moving average. In other words, Ether will fall to the $1,946 breakout level.

Technical indicators:

Key resistance levels – $1,800 and $2,000
Key support levels – $1,600 and $1,400
