ETH saw a decline in its price from $4,500 to around $1,024, with an over 70% drop from its all-time high despite having good fundamentals. The price of ETH bounced off after touching a weekly low of $1,024, and the price rallied to $2,000, showing some great strength ahead of the scheduled merge, but the price was quickly rejected as this area acts as resistance for the price of ETH.

The price of ETH on the weekly chart formed an uptrend line as the price continued to respect this support line bouncing off to maintain its bullish run, but the price of ETH broke this trendline after a while, creating mixed feelings in the heart of many holders of ETH.

ETH’s price is trading above the key support of $1,400; the price of ETH needs to hold above this support to avoid the price going lower to its weekly low. With the price of ETH holding this support, we could have the chance of trading higher to a region of $1,630. A break below $1,400 would mean retesting the key weekly support at lower regions of $1,200 and $1,000.

For ETH’s price to restore its bullish move price need to break and hold above $1,700 with good volume. A break and close above $1,700 give ETH price the boost it needs to rally to a region of $1,900 and possibly $2,000.
