This price is most likely to break the 45,000.500 pressure point. The price has been in a steady downward channel since 4h K lines. DIF crossed DEA to form a downward signal.

“The K-line ran near the lower rail of the Bollinger Bands, and the trading volume was relatively sluggish,” the Huobi Group executive said. “At the daily level, price fluctuations have gradually slowed down in recent days, and price fluctuations were temporarily controllable. In short term, pay attention to the downward momentum and the breakthrough of the 45500 position below.”

Jun additional:

[Ethereum]Daytime saw a steady decline in the k-line, dropping from 3980 to 3760 at its highest, then falling back towards 3780. The 4h k line shows that the kline fluctuated significantly today which affected the stability over the previous days. The daily line clearly shows that the drop was to bring the kline back in the downward channel. It’s clear that this indicates that there is still a strong downward force. Pay attention to the extent of price drops in the short-term.
