During mid-April, Ethereum price turned down from the resistance trendline of the wedge pattern and initiated a new bear cycle. From the peak of $2138, this downfall tumbles the prices by 15.48% to reach the current price of $1798.
However, with the growing indecisiveness in the crypto market, the ETH price hit a minor roadblock at $1740-$1714 support and turned sideways. Under the influence of the chart pattern, the overall setup favors a potential downfall, and therefore, the current consolidation could be a temporary detour.
Thus, if the bearish momentum is recuperated, a breakdown below $1714 support may drive the 18.5% down to hit the support trendline at $1400.
Anyhow, the coin holders can keep an overall bullish sentiment until the pattern’s lower trendline is intact.
Will Ethereum Price Poke $1400 Support?
If the ongoing consolidation phase in Ethereum price resulted in sellers’ favor with the breakdown of $1714, coin holders are likely to witness a longer correction to the $1400 mark. The potential downtrend could experience a major blockade at $1500 psychological support.
