Latest Ethereum price and analysis (ETH to USD)

Ethereum analysis

Ethereum has been left reeling following a devastating sell-off that has seen it break the $1,875 level of support.

It is now attempting to cling onto the $1,720 level which, to its credit, has provided bounces on three occasions over the past three weeks.

If continuation to the downside is initiated, Ethereum would then confirm a four-month low with price targets beginning to emerge back down at $1,550 and $1,400.

From a macro perspective, Ethereum has now confirmed a series of lower highs and lower lows. This behaviour is typical of a bear market as interest consistently wanes throughout the cycle.

The timing of this recent sell-off has coincided with a slump in all capital markets, with stock market indices and Bitcoin all faltering amid a rise in Covid-19 cases around the world.

It’s worth noting that while Ethereum and the wider cryptocurrency market is delicately poised for a period of more downside, it would not be a shock for the market to go against the grain and climb back into the $2,000 region for a re-test before moving lower.

Much of it will also depend on the trajectory of Bitcoin, which itself has broken the key level of $30,000. At the time of writing it is trading at $29,730 as it awaits the open of the stock market at 9:30am EST.
