The Daily Chart
On the daily chart, the price has been making lower highs and lows since getting rejected by the $4,000 resistance level twice in December.
Currently, ETH is trading below the 200-day moving average, located around the $3,000 mark, and is trying to break back above $2,700. If the market is able to do so, a bullish reversal will become probable. In case of failure, a drop toward the $2,350 support zone would be imminent.
The 4-Hour Chart
Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price has been consolidating over the past couple of weeks. While the market is testing the $2,700 level at the moment, the RSI is on the verge of dropping below 50%.
This signal would indicate a bearish shift in momentum and could result in another push lower toward the $2,000 zone in the coming weeks.
