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

On the 4-hour chart, we can see another test of support for the Ethereum price action, likely leading to more upside over the next 24 hours.

Ethereum price saw a strong rally earlier this week, leading to a strong higher high at $3,040 on the 1st of March. After resisting further attempts to move higher, ETH/USD began to retrace on Thursday, leading back to the $2,600 support.

At the support, a clear reaction was seen as bears could not push the market any lower. A slight and steady reaction higher follows yesterday, leading to a local high at $2,680.

However, bulls also lacked the strength to push the market further. Subsequently, the Ethereum price began to steadily decline again overnight, leading to another test of support. Overall, as long as any further downside is not seen, we expect ETH/USD to begin another rally higher early next week.
