Ethereum price action has seen a stray decline over the past weeks after failing to reach the previous all-time high by the end of  November. On the 4th of December, a strong selloff established the current monthly low just below $3,600.

After some recovery, another major lower high was set at $4,500, conforming that the overall market structure has turned bearish.  Since then, ETH/USD has declined by almost 20 percent and established support at $3,650.

Early yesterday, the Ethereum price retested previous support at $3,900 as resistance before quickly dropping to $3,650. At the support, strong buying pressure re-appeared, leading ETH/USD to spike to $4,100 by the end of the day.

Therefore, we expect another strong lower high to be set, and Ethereum is now ready to continue testing further downside.

Ethereum Price Analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bearish today as we expect the current upswing to end soon, leading to another lower high confirmed at $4,100. Likely ETH/USD  will continue moving lower for the rest of the week to set another lower low along with the overall trend.
