Ethereum price started a fresh decline below the $2,750 and $2,620 levels, like Bitcoin. ETH price even traded below the $2,500 level and tested $2,440.

A low was formed at $2,441 and the price recently started a recovery wave. There was a move above the $2,500 and $2,520 levels. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,880 swing high to the $2,441 low.
