ETH had pushed higher over the weekend as it managed to break resistance at $2000 and reach the upper boundary of the price channel. Unfrotenutaly, the bulls could not close a daily candle above resistance at $1960 (1.272 Fib Extension), which caused the market to roll over and head lower.

ETH-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, if the sellers push beneath $1760, the first support lies at $1681 (.236 Fib). This is followed by $1600 (lower boundary of the price channel), $1500, and $1465 (.382 Fib).

On the other side, the first resistance now lies at $1875 (1.414 Fib Extension – orange), $1960 (1.272 Fib Extension – blue), $2000, and $2061 (1.414 Fib Extension – bue).

The daily RSI recently dipped beneath the midline for the first time since January 20th. This indicates the bears are attempting to gain control of the market momentum. If it continues to fall, the bearish momentum will increase and is likely to drive ETH to the lower boundary of the price channel.
