ETH price traded above the $1,980 and $2,000 resistance levels.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $2,070 on the hourly chart of ETH\/USD. The pair even spiked above $2,150. A high was formed at $2,168, and the price is now consolidating gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,744 swing low to the $2,168 high.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum price is now trading above $2,050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,020, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,150 level.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-880605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ethereum_72a8c8.png?resize=1024%2C509\" alt=\"Ethereum Price \" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first key resistance is near the $2,165 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,250 level. A clear move above the $2,250 resistance might send the price toward the $2,350 resistance. An upside break above the $2,350 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,550 resistance zone or even $2,665 in the near term.<\/p>\n<h2>Another Decline In ETH?<\/h2>\n<p>If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,150 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,050 level. The first major support sits near the $2,020 zone.<\/p>\n<p>A clear move below the $2,020 support might push the price toward the $1,950 support or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,744 swing low to the $2,168 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,845 region. The main support could be $1,800.<\/p>\n<p>Technical Indicators<\/p>\n<p>Hourly MACD<strong> \u2013 <\/strong>The MACD for ETH\/USD is losing momentum in the bearish zone.<\/p>\n<p>Hourly RSI<strong> &#8211; <\/strong>The RSI for ETH\/USD is now above the 50 zone.<\/p>\n<p>Major Support Level \u2013 $2,020<\/p>\n<p>Major Resistance Level \u2013 $2,165<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum price started a recovery wave above $2,050.
