Key Support Levels: $2036, $2000, $1914.
Key Resistance Levels: $2100, $2141, $2207.

Ethereum is up by a total of 11% over the past week, which allowed it to set a new ATH yesterday at $2151. Despite setting a new ATH price, the cryptocurrency could still not close a daily candle above the early April resistance at $2141 (1.272 FIb Extension).

As a result, Etheruem rolled over today as it dropped back beneath $2100 to reach the current $2041 level. This support is provided by the high that was set during February 2021.

ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Moving forward, if the bears break beneath $2036, the first level of support lies at $2000 (.236 Fib). Beneath it, support lies at $1914 (.382 Fib), $1843 (.5 Fib), and $1772 (.618 Fib).

On the other side, the first resistance lies at $2100. This is followed by $2141 (1.272 Fib Extension), $2207 (1.414 Fib Extension), and $2300 (1.618 Fib Extension).

The daily RSI is starting to head lower and is showing hints of bearish divergence as it creates lower highs while price action moves sideways. If it continues to drop, Ethereum can be expected to break back beneath $2,000.
