Ethereum technical analysis and key levels
According to expert technical analysis, ETH is looking bearish and is currently at a strong support level of $2,850. However, the technical indicator signals bearishness for ETH. On a daily time frame, ETH is moving below the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA). If ETH on a daily time frame gives a candle closing below the support level of $2,850 then there is a high possibility that ETH may fall over 9% till the $2,600 level.
However, there is also a chance that ETH may bounce back if it gets support from the bulls. If ETH on a daily time frame gives a candle closing above the $3,080 level, then there is a high possibility that ETH following that closing hit the $3,250 level.

Following this price drop, the 24-hour trading volume jumped by 30% signaling a higher level of inventors’ and traders’ participation in ETH.
