ETH price traded below the $1,900 and $1,880 levels to enter a bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the bulls appeared near $1,850. A low was formed at $1,845, and the price started a minor recovery wave.

If the bulls remain in action above $1,850, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $1,880 level.<\/p>\n<p>The first key resistance is near the $1,920 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,994 swing high to the $1,845 low.

An upside break above the $2,000 region might call for more gains in the coming days.
