Ethereum price action managed to establish a strong new swing high last week. After the initial high was set at $1,600, ETH/USD saw a quick retrace to $1,500 before another strong push higher began.

This time, bulls quickly reached the $1,650 mark, with an immediate reversal pattern formed last Sunday. Since then, sellers have constantly moved the market lower, with both lower local highs and lows set several times.

Late yesterday, Ethereum attempted to break higher quickly, however, a strong reaction back lower followed, forming a clear reversal pin bar. From there, ETH/USD moved to $1,500 support, which likely will soon be broken.

Over the past hours, ETH has seen another slight retest of the upside, likely as another local lower high will be set overnight. Once that is done, we expect the $1,500 support to be breached, opening the way for a lot more downside over the weekend.

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bearish as we have seen further lows tested over the past day and clear rejection for the attempt to move higher late yesterday. Therefore, we expect ETH/USD to drop even further and look to set a lower low below $1,500.
