Are Dips Limited in ETH?

The next key support is $1,985 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $1,905 swing low to the $2,068 high. The main support is $1,965. A downside break below the $1,965 support might trigger more losses. In the stated case, Ether could drop toward the $1,905 support zone in the near term.
