Ethereum price has seen a steady decline over the past weeks after recovery from the massive selloff on the 4th of December set a strong lower high at $4,500. Since then, ETH/USD has moved towards the previous low, finding a slightly higher major swing low at $3,650 this week.

Additionally, a descending trendline can be drawn from the lower highs set over the past weeks, indicating potential reversal points later in the month. With the support area around $3,600-$3,700, ETH/USD can be seen trading in a descending triangle consolidation pattern.

Since we saw the Ethereum price retest the trendline as it peaked at $4,000 overnight, we can now expect another drop lower. Previously a slightly higher low was set at $3,700, potentially indicating bullish momentum forming. However, until a strong break above the trendline is seen, we expect the current consolidation to continue over the next days.

Ethereum Price Analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bearish today as we saw another lower high set along a several-week descending trendline. Therefore, we expect ETH/USD to move lower again and look to continue consolidation in a descending triangle pattern.
