ETH price consolidates

On the weekly chart, the ETH price has formed two lower lows extending from $48,000 to $35,000 since November whereas only one swing low at $2,159 in January. Analyzing further, the price remains pressured below the 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $2,930.

In addition to that, the price dwindles near the 0.5% Fibonacci retracement level at $2,628. The trading volume has been consistent with the fall in the price. Looking at mentioned arguments, we expect ETH to produce one lower low this time.

To do so, two things would be required, one a weekly close below $2,500, and the breakage below $2,159. If that happens then get ready for $1,700 in the medium to short-term.
