The 76.4% fib retracement level of the key’s upward move from the $ 890 swing low to the $ 1,351 high is also near the $ 1,000 level to act as strong support. The 100 hour simple moving average is also near the $ 1,000 zone to provide strong support in the short term.

Unless the Ether price is above the support of USD 1,000 and the simple moving average of 100 hours, there is a risk of a decline towards the support level of USD 900 in the upcoming sessions.

New rise in ETH?

If Ethereum stays above the $ 1,000 support and 100 hour simple moving average, it could spike again. Initial resistance to the upside is near the $ 1,180 level.

The first key resistance is near the $ 1,200 level. A closing price above the USD 1,200 level could potentially push the ether price back into positive territory. In that case, the USD 1,300 level could be reached again.
