More Downsides in ETH?
Conversely, ethereum price might continue to move down below the $1,536 support. An immediate support on the downside sits near the $1,500 level. It is close to the 1.236 Fib extension level of the upward move from the $1,536 swing low to $1,714 high.
The next major support is near the $1,430 zone or the 1.618 Fib extension level of the upward move from the $1,536 swing low to $1,714 high.
A close below the $1,430 and $1,420 support levels could spark a sharp move towards the $1,320 support. Any more losses below $1,320 could send the price towards the $1,200 zone in the coming days.
Overall, ether price is showing a few bearish signs below $1,600 and the 50 simple moving average (4-hours, blue). If ETH declines below $1,500, it could even revisit the $1,430 support. Conversely, the price might start a decent increase and attempt a clear move above $1,600.
