Yesterday morning, the Ethereum (ETH) price was able to test the resistance of $2,400, but buyers could not continue the recovery above this level.

In the second half of the day, the price returned to the area of average prices, and late at night, the bears broke through the support of the upward trendline, which kept the pair from a deep pullback for more than a week.
