The Ethereum price consolidation weakened as the bulls lost
momentum, resulting in a nearly 4% loss in the last 24 hours and a
7% decline on the weekly chart. The technical analysis indicates
considerable bearish pressure. The coin’s value remained stagnant
at around $1,800, leading to waning interest from buyers and a
significant decrease in demand and accumulation. As Bitcoin dropped
below $26,000, major altcoins also experienced significant declines
on their daily charts. Related Reading: Cardano May Sink To This
Level As Bears Keep Gaining Leverage To break its resistance,
Ethereum requires substantial buyer participation, as failure to do
so could lead to the loss of a crucial support level. Additionally,
Bitcoin must recover and reach the $27,000 zone to initiate a
short-term recovery for ETH. The declining market capitalization of
Ethereum suggests a gradual departure of buyers from the market.
Ethereum Price Analysis: One-Day Chart At the time of writing, ETH
was priced at $1,770. After struggling around the $1,800 range,
selling pressure eventually took over. The coin’s resistance levels
were identified at $1,798 and $1,821. Conversely, if the price
continues to decline, the bulls will attempt to defend ETH at
$1,740. However, a failure to hold above $1,740 would push Ethereum
down to $1,690. A further drop would breach the $1,540 support
line. Additionally, the recent session saw a significant increase
in selling strength, reflected by the red volume of Ethereum
traded. Technical Analysis Following the decline from the $1,800
range, ETH has experienced a significant sell-off with a lack of
recovery in buying strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI)
dipped below 40, suggesting a decrease in accumulation and nearing
oversold territory. Additionally, ETH dropped below the 20-Simple
Moving Average (SMA) line, indicating that sellers have been
driving the market momentum. If ETH successfully surpasses the
immediate resistance level, there is a possibility of moving above
the 20-SMA line. Several technical indicators on the daily chart of
Ethereum began showing sell signals. One of these indicators is the
Awesome Oscillator, which not only reflects price momentum but also
identifies potential trend reversals. In this case, the indicator
displayed growing red histograms below the half-line, indicating
sell signals for the altcoin. This suggests a potential decline in
price before any recovery takes place. Related Reading: Does The

indicator, the Bollinger Bands, which reveal price fluctuation and
volatility, started widening. This widening suggests that Ethereum
could experience increased price volatility and fluctuations in the
upcoming trading sessions. This heightened volatility indicates the
potential for significant price movements in either direction.
Ethereum has to topple over its immediate resistance in order to
stall the bears. In addition to that, broader market strength will
also prove to be crucial for ETH. Featured Image From UnSplash,
