Ethereum price action has seen a strong reversal over the past days. From the last major swing high at $3,040, ETH/USD initially quickly lost 15 percent to the $2,600 mark late last week.

Further downside followed over the weekend, leading to the $2,500 next support being tested early yesterday. Quick reaction higher followed, leading to another lower high set. Later in the day, bears continued to push ETH even lower, leading to the current low at $2,450 reached.

Since then, the Ethereum price has retraced to $2,600 again, this time to retest it as resistance. Currently, the resistance is respected, leading to believe that bears are preparing for another push lower later today. 

Therefore, the overall market structure looks bearish again. The next major support is located as far as the $2,300 mark, meaning a potential drop of around 10 percent could be seen later in the week.
