The last six days’ price action of Ethereum coin has traded within the range of August 17th candle(High-$1808 and low-$1576). This day, the crypto market witnessed a sudden sell-off and led to a prolonged correction in the majority of major cryptocurrencies.
The aforementioned candle holds a strong influence on ETH price as it was backed by high volume and gave a massive breakdown from the support trendline of the channel pattern. The post-breakdown fall plunged the price to $1576 low before witnessing a surge in demand pressure. The daily chart reflects the buyers taking support from $1600 psychological support, leading to a minor pullback in the current trend.
If the buying pressure rises, the coin price could witness a pullback to $1800 to recuperate the exhausted bearish momentum. Until the Ethereum coin trades below the mentioned $1808 high, the seller’s weapon will remain intact which eventually bolsters the downtrend continuation.
