Ethereum price action has seen a strong rally again over the past days after another higher low was set at $3,200. A new high was initially set at $3,500, with a retest of upside seen on the 2nd of April.

Consolidation followed until late yesterday when ETH/USD quickly spiked higher to $3,580. However, strong selling pressure returned immediately, forming a strong 4-hour rejection candle just before midnight.

Since then, ETH/USD has continued to decline, almost reaching back to the $3,400 mark. The Bitcoin price action will likely see an even further drop over the next days to test the $3,300 next support, where a higher low could be set.

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bearish today as we have seen strong rejection below $3,600 turn into a push lower so far today. Therefore, we expect ETH/USD to drop even further and look to set another higher low.
