Technical analysis: ETH seeks to recover from key support zone
Market bulls are currently in control of prices as represented by the MACD indicator. However, the broader selling pressure appears to be pushing the price towards the $ 2,500 support level.
The price will surely hold at this point as a rebalancing will be sought to push the price to bounce from this point. This recovery, if sustained, will likely push ETH back to the $ 2,800 level in the short term and $ 3,200 in the medium term.
