ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at $1850. This is followed by $1900, $1960 (1.272 Fib Extension), $2000, and $2061 (1.414 Fib extension). Additional resistance lies at $2200.

On the other side, the first support lies at $1765. This is followed by $1700, $1685, and $1560 (.236 Fib & lower boundary of the price channel).

The RSI is showing bearish divergence in February as it makes lower highs while the price action has made higher highs. If this plays out, ETH could be heading toward the lower boundary of the price channel.
