Technical Analysis

From the Weekly chart, this is the eighth week in a row that the price of Ethereum has been below the 50-day moving average. And so far, despite all the attempts of the Bulls, they have not been able to break through this barrier.

On the daily chart, both RSI and MACD indicators are below the neutral zone. And the price has formed a "descending triangle" pattern, which means a further decline may be ahead. If ETH price breaks below the lower border, it is possible that ETH will retest $2,000 mark again.
