Are Dips Supported in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,950 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,900 level.

The next major support is near the $1,880 level or the recent low. If there is a break and close below the $1,880 support, the price could drop toward the $1,820 support or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $1,715 swing low to the $1,930 high. Any more losses may perhaps send the price toward the $1,780 zone or the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
