ETH/USD 4-hour chart: ETH ready to retrace?

On the 4-hour chart, we can see retest of $1,400 support result in a quick reaction higher over the past hours, likely indicating that Ethereum price will continue even higher overnight.

Ethereum price action has traded with strong selling pressure over the past week. After a new swing high was set below $1,800, ETH/USD initially retraced to $1,550, where a strong higher low was set.

However, after a slight recovery higher to $1,650, ETH reversed again and quickly lost over 10 percent to the $1,450 mark. Recovery could not be made again, leading sellers to test even further lows overnight.

Not much further downside was reached as the $1,400 support reversed Ethereum price action. Since then, ETH/USD has consolidated and retested previous support. Likely, buying pressure will soon return as a result, and some of this week’s loss will be retraced.
