Ethereum price action has traded with strong selling pressure over the first half of October, leading to a new swing low at $1,100 support. From there, ETH/USD reacted higher and began to consolidate sideways over the past week.

After consolidation area was established around $1,200 support and resistance at $1,275, ETH lacked clear direction. Resistance at $1,275 was retested yesterday, slowly leading back lower today.

Since then, we see Ethereum price action preparing to move lower, with the $1,200 support likely to soon be broken. Once that is done, we expect a swift drop to the $1,100 previous swing low. In case it is broken, we should see a lot more downside over the rest of the month.

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bearish today as we have seen a decline since midnight leading back to $1,200. Likely ETH/USD will look to break even lower and look to breach the $1,200 support next.
