Ether price is clearly following a nice uptrend above $1,600 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the bulls are facing hurdles near $1,700. A clear break above $1,700 may possibly lift the price towards the $1,765 and $1,780 levels in the near term.

Dips Supported in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $1,700 resistance level, it could correct lower. An initial support is near the trend line and the $1,640 zone.

A downside break below the trend line support could push the price towards the $1,600 support zone. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $1,513 swing low to $1,697 high. Any more losses is likely to lead the price towards the $1,500 support zone in the coming sessions.
