Ethereum technical analysis and key levels

According to expert technical analysis, Ethereum is looking bearish as it is trading in a downward channel pattern and also making lower highs and lower lows on a daily timeframe. Looking at the chart, it is observed that Ethereum has made its lower high and is heading towards a lower low, which might be near the $2,830 level, close to the 200 EMA (Exponential Moving Average). However, to experience upside momentum, Ethereum needs to close its daily candle above the $3,300 level, otherwise, it will either consolidate or experience downward momentum. Source: TradingView
