Ethereum’s price has fallen below the moving average lines after being rejected at the $3,400 level.
ETH price long-term analysis: bearish
The decline has paused above the 50-day SMA support. Since November 4, buyers have repeatedly tried to keep the price above $3,400 but have been unsuccessful.
Today, Ether has dropped to its crucial support above $3,000, which coincides with the 50-day SMA support. The cryptocurrency is currently trading above the 50-day SMA support but below the 21-day SMA resistance. The largest altcoin risks further decline if the bearish trend breaks below the 50-day SMA support. A break below the 50-day SMA support or the $3,000 low will send Ether to its previous bottom of $2,270. Meanwhile, the price is fluctuating between the moving average lines. Ether is currently at $3,102.
