Ethereum price action has seen a strong new swing high set over the past days. After several days of strong bullish momentum from the $1,680 support, a gain of over 20 percent was reached on Sunday.

From there, ETH/USD retraced to $1,900 before quickly spiking to set a lower local high below $2,000. Later another attempt to retrace followed below the $1,900 mark, indicating that selling pressure is still strong.

However, for now, the Ethereum price has failed to break lower as consolidation began early yesterday. Since then, ETH/USD has failed to move higher several times, indicating that another drop lower will follow to the $1,800 next major support.

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bearish today as we have seen consolidation over the last 24 hours as bulls failed to take over after a strong decline early yesterday. ETH/USD will likely continue moving sideways over the next hours before enough momentum is gathered to break towards the $1,800 support.
