Ethereum currently sits around the $1,875 mark following repeated rejections by sellers whenever attempts were made to push beyond $1,900. Earlier this week, ETH momentarily climbed to $1,920 before retreating into its established trading corridor.
[[IMG_4]] Ethereum (ETH) PriceMarket participants on the buy side have successfully protected the $1,850 threshold, yet each recovery attempt encounters strong selling resistance around $1,900 and $1,920. Throughout most of August, the price action has remained confined within a tight range.
Examining the daily timeframe reveals ETH positioned beneath its 20-day moving average at $1,881 and the 50-day moving average at $1,893. These technical indicators now function as overhead resistance precisely where recent rally attempts have stalled.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index registers at 49.72, marginally beneath the neutral midpoint of 50. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator shows -0.01, suggesting an equilibrium between buying and selling forces with a marginal tilt toward distribution.
During the week spanning August 3 through August 7, United States-based spot Ethereum ETFs captured $245 million in net capital inflows, extending the streak to five consecutive weeks of positive movement.

Meanwhile, Grayscale’s ETHE experienced $4.8 million in withdrawals throughout the identical timeframe.

Market analyst Daan Crypto Trades observed that ETH remains trapped within the $1,750 to $2,100 corridor — boundaries that have served as significant support and resistance throughout the previous two years. He highlighted $2,100 as the crucial level requiring attention, characterizing the reclamation of $1,750 as the initial indication of bullish momentum, with $2,100 representing the ultimate confirmation.

Both have acted as strong support & resistance levels over the past 2 years.

Digital asset analyst Ted Pillows identified $1,850 as an “essential hold level” for ETH to maintain its current positioning. He projects the initial upside objective at $1,955, subsequently targeting $2,050 and $2,190. Should $1,850 fail to hold, he cautioned, the path could open toward $1,700.
