Over the past 24 hours, Ethereum prices experienced a new decline. In the last 24 hours, the price of altcoin dropped by 7.7%. ETH has fallen by 9% in the last week and traded below its support level at $1,520.
The broader market weakness could be blamed for most major altcoin’s southward movement on their respective charts.
The Ethereum price tried to stay above the immediate resistance but was met by a substantial sell-off.
It also showed a bearish technical outlook. As soon as ETH did not defend its immediate support level, buyers exited market.
ETH might continue to fall on the chart if the coin doesn’t manage to trade above the $1,400 price level. Bitcoin fell to $19,900 which caused some sellers to get more active on the market.
If the Ethereum price falls below the $1.400 level, it will remain at the $1.367 level. To break the bearish thesis, altcoin will need more market support and purchasing power.
