Ethereum price analysis: ETH slowly retests $1,350, consolidation to continue later?

Ethereum price analysis is bearish today as we have seen a steady move higher with low momentum. Therefore, the resistance around $1,250 previous local high should be enough to reverse ETH/USD even lower.

Ethereum price action has continued sideways movement over the past days as both further upside and downside could not be reached. From the last swing high at $1,225 ETH/USD slowly retraced earlier this week, forming a lower high at $1,350.

Since then, another local higher low was set, indicating consolidation in an increasingly tighter range. As a result, until a clear break to either direction is made, we cannot expect any substantial change in direction.

Ethereum price will likely peak below $1,350 again, setting another lower high. From there, we expect ETH/USD to decline even further and look to start the next week with another test of the $1,225 major support.

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bearish today as we have seen slow bullish momentum since morning, indicating that further upside will likely not follow. Therefore, we expect ETH/USD to reverse later today and look to move back below $1,300.
