Ethereum price action has seen a steady reversal after a substantial rally earlier this month. After several attempts to push higher ETH/USD saw strong rejection at the end of Sunday, leading to a quick retest of $1,500 previous support.

This time, the support did not hold for long as another push lower followed early on Monday. Eventually, a new low was reached at $1,360, indicating that a clear local lower low was set.

Reversal began overnight to today, quickly regaining some of the loss until morning. Since then, Ethereum price has slowly traded even higher and retested previous support as resistance. This should soon lead to another lower local high set and further attempts to push lower later in the week.

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bearish today as we have seen a strong retrace earlier today lead to a retest of previous support as a resistance at $1,500. Unless a further spike higher does not follow over the next hours, we expect ETH/USD to continue lower over the next days and target the $1,320 next minor support level.
