ETH/USD 4-hour chart: ETH looks to reverse again?

The 4-hour chart shows slow momentum at the $1,550 mark, indicating that another higher local low will soon be set.

Ethereum price action has traded with a steady bullish momentum over the past week. After setting a new swing lower low at $1,425 support, ETH/USD quickly reversed, gaining over 10 percent.

From there, further upside was reached slowly as consolidation with a slightly upward trajectory began. Further local higher lows were set over the past days, eventually leading to another quick move higher to the $1,650 resistance.

Since then, Ethereum price has retraced as another local higher low needs to be set. Likely, ETH/USD will soon look to retest the previous local high at $1,650. If bearish momentum returns before the resistance is reached, we expect ETH to move for another downswing next week.

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bullish today as we have seen a slow retrace towards the $1,550 support over the last hours. Therefore, ETH/USD should soon reverse and look to head back towards the previous high at $1,650.
