The Ethereum price analysis for today remains moderately bullish. The price traded in the green zone for the past few hours. However, still, there are many hiccups for the bulls to overcome. ETH is recovering from the recent correction as fresh buying emerges near the lower level following the consolidation.
ETH went through a big sell-off in the past week as investors book their profits since mid-August as the end of the recovery rally. The price depreciated by nearly 45% from the swing highs of $2,031.39.

The seconds largest coin by the market cap after Bitcoin portrays the overall market mood. There is an overall fragile recovery in the broader crypto space.
- Ethereum price extends consolidation for the third straight day.
- A bounce back from the 0.38% Fibonacci retracement acts as crucial support for the bulls.
- However, the downside risk remains intact below $1,520.
Ethereum price looks for an upside reversal
The Ethereum price analysis shows a consolidation.
On the daily time frame, ETH retraced from the swing highs of $2,031.39. However, the price quickly retraced with a depreciation of 30% toward the 0.23% Fibonacci retracement level. The Fibonacci retracment extends from the lows of $1,000 and acts as a support for the bulls.
After falling below the mentioned level, the price again finds a stoppage near the 0.50% Fibonacci retracement level.
Further, the price is still trading below the critical 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $1,714.
A renewed buying pressure could result in a quick recovery toward the 0.23% Fibonacci retracement level toward $1,800.
On the flip side, a break below the session’s low would continue with the correction. In that occurs, the bears could drag the price toward $1,600.
The RSI (14) trades below the average line indicate a struggle for the bulls. Currently, it reads at 40.
On the hourly chart, the price follows the ascending trend line from the lows of $1,540. ETH looks bullish on the short-time frame. A green candlestick in the last few hours shows a spike in buy order pushing the price toward $1,700.
However, the price faces resistance near the mentioned level, we expect a minor pullback in the price. A dip buying opportunity for sidelined investors.
