Ethereum was priced at $3028.86 and the coin has been hovering around the aforementioned price level over the past 48 hours. Immediate resistance for the coin stood at $3085.60 after the coin has been rejected from that level a couple of times in the past few days.
Continued rejection from the resistance mark can push Ethereum to trade near the $2839.12 support level.
A fall to that level would mean a 6.44% decline. In case the bulls resurface, the coin would aim for the resistance mark at $3391.95 and then at $3609.61. Trading volume was in red which signalled that buyers were less in number at the time of writing.

Ever since ETH was on a selling spree which is roughly a week back, the coin started to display bearish price action as it flashed a bearish momentum. At the press time, ETH continued to display bearish price action and the coin had witnessed the bulls taking over for a very brief period of time which referred to a few hours.
MACD at the moment was still negative as the indicator was seen below the zero-mark. This signals the strength of the bears. It is quite early to say if, over the upcoming trading sessions, ETH would pick up price momentum.
MACD has displayed a bullish crossover, with tiny green histograms resurfacing, however, continued price movement in the same direction will cause the indicator to remain below the half-line.
