Ethereum price action saw consolidation over several days in an increasingly tighter range. Resistance was established below $1,350 and retested later last week.
At the end of the weekend, ETH/USD started to move below $1,300 support, quickly setting another higher low with clear rejection for further downside. ETH started to rally from there, breaking past previous resistance at $1,350 overnight.
Further upside followed as high as $1,400 next major resistance, setting a clear higher high. However, since then, not much further upside has followed as consolidation in a narrow range was seen throughout the day. As a result, we expect Ethereum price to start declining soon with the aim of setting another higher low later in the week.
