Ethereum price action saw strong bullish momentum last weekend, with another strong swing high set at $1,780. From there, ETH/USD started to retrace and tested the $1,720 support.

Break even lower followed on Tuesday, leading to a quick drop below $1,600. Support was later found just above $1,550, with consolidation seen since then.
