Ethereum Price Prediction: ETH will drop to $3,000

  • Ethereum price is hovering just above an ascending trend line. 
  • A slight bearish divergence in the Relative Strength Index backs up the negative perspective.
  • An invalidation for the bearish model will be a break above $3,481.

Ethereum price has bears preparing to feast as the Smart Contract Token could retest multiple support zones below.

Ethereum price looks dicey

Ethereum price has rallied 20% since last week’s successful trade setup. ETH price is currently confined within a daily trend channel as the price consolidates at $3,290.The bears will likely attempt to send the ETH price back into the breached weekly trend line, currently around $3,000. The 50-day moving average and a previous weekly swing high also line up in the vicinity of the trend line, which should give more confidence for a bearish target.

The new daily pivot high at $3,481 is slightly more oversold than the November 24 swing high at $4,600. The divergence could be early evidence of a catalyst to lower ETH prices.

Still, nothing is ever set in stone when it comes to Cryptocurrencies. The bulls can still maintain strength, but they must breach the current swing high at $3,481. If this were to occur, the ETH price could continue charging higher towards $3,700 and potentially $4,000, up to 22% above the current Ethereum price.
