ETH/USD 4-hour chart: ETH targets $1,500 next?

On the 4-hour chart, we can see another quick higher local low set over the past hours, likely leading to another push higher overnight.

Ethereum price action has seen a strong decline over the past week. After ETH/USD peaked below $1,800 last weekend, the first spike lower took the market to the $1,550 support.

From there, ETH reacted higher and retested $1,650 as resistance. However, no further recovery followed, leading bears to take over the momentum again. This time, selling continued past $1,500 next support until the $1,400 mark.

Since then, Ethereum price has retested previous support twice and set slightly higher lows. Likely ETH/USD is now ready to retrace even further, with the first target being the $1,550 previous support that now should act as a resistance. 

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bullish today as we have seen higher low set at $1,420 and a slight reaction higher since then. Therefore, ETH/USD should soon be ready to rally higher again and look to retrace some of the loss seen earlier this week.
