The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $1,888 swing low to $2,008 high. On the upside, ether could struggle to settle above the $2,000 resistance. A successful close above the $2,000 level could open the doors for a massive increase in the coming sessions. In the stated case, the price could easily rise towards the $2,080 and $2,100 levels.

Dips Supported in ETH?

If Ethereum fails to climb above the $2,000 and $2,010 resistance levels, it could correct lower. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,980 level.

The first major support is near the $1,950 level and the connecting bullish trend line. Any more losses might lead ether price towards the $1,880 support zone. There is another bullish trend line waiting on the same chart with support near $1,880, where the bulls are likely to take a stand.
