ETH/USD 4-hour chart: ETH looks to continue lower?

On the 4-hour chart, we can see Ethereum price action peaking at $1,275 resistance, likely resulting in another drop lower over the next 24 hours.

Ethereum price action has traded sideways over the past days after reaction from the $1,100 support peaked at $1,350. Since then ETH/USD has moved sideways above $1,200 support, slowly setting a higher low.

Breakout attempts below $1,200 support failed yesterday, leading to believe a higher low was set. However, the following reaction higher has ended at the $1,275 resistance, where rejection has been seen over the past hours.
