Ethereum dropped beneath its consolidation pattern toward the end of last week and fell into the support around $2150 over the weekend. Unfortunately, on Monday, ETH slipped beneath $2200 and continued lower until finding support at $1,888, provided by the 200-day MA.
Yesterday, the brief BTC dip beneath $30K caused ETH to slip below the 200-day MA and reach as low as $1710 – mid-March support. However, ETH had rebounded and closed back above the 200-day MA by the end of the day.
Today, the bulls are attempting to push higher to reclaim the 200-day MA level.

Looking ahead, if the buyers can reclaim $2000, the first resistance lies at $2162 (bearish .382 Fib). This is followed by $2300 (bearish .5 Fib), $2400 (20-day MA), and $2500 (100-day MA).
On the other side, the first support lies at $1888 (200-day MA &.886 Fib). This is followed by $1710, $1625 (downside 1.272 Fib Extension), and $1425 (Jan 21 highs).
The RSI rebounded from oversold conditions today, indicating the bearish pressure is starting to ease up. However, the momentum is still far from becoming bullish just yet.
