Ethereum price action has seen bearish momentum slowly push the market towards the previous major swing low around $3,600 over the past weeks. Since the previous high at $4,500, ETH/USD has retraced almost 20 percent, potentially meaning that bears are now exhausted.

After reaching the current support at $3,650 on the 13th of December, Ethereum retested it with a quick spike lower on Wednesday. From there, a strong rebound to $4,100 followed, where another lower high was set.

However, the following retracement set a higher low above $3,700, as further downside was strongly rejected. Over the last 24 hours, the Ethereum price action has started to push forwards, likely meaning we will see a test of the previous high later in the weekend.

Ethereum Price Analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bullish today as we have seen bullish momentum return over the last 24 hours after downside was rejected around $3,700. Therefore, we expect ETH/USD to move towards the previous high at $4,100 over the next 24 hours.
