On the 4-hour chart, we can see the last retest of the previous low, likely as bears look to form local higher low before another major move higher.

Ethereum price action has traded with strong selling pressure over the past days after a new major swing lower high was set at $1,725. Late on Friday, ETH/USD had already broken past $1,550 previous major support, opening the way for a lot more downside to follow.
