Ethereum Slumps below $4,800 Resistance, Unable to Break Recent High

The price of Ethereum (ETH) is falling after buyers failed to keep it above $4,800 resistance. If buyers manage to break the resistance, Ethereum will rise above $5,000.

However, buyers suffered three setbacks at the recent high. The first two setbacks saw the ETH price fall sharply, but the bulls bought the dips to go back up. Ether is falling after the third resistance at the high of $4,800. If the bears break below support at $4,600 and the bearish momentum continues, the market will fall to a low of $4,350. On the other hand, if the bulls defend support at $4,600 and it holds, the current uptrend will be restored. Today, ETH/USD is trading at $4,667 as of press time.
