The daily time frame chart projects the ongoing consolidation in ETH price is confined between two horizontal levels of $1700 and $1577. This narrow range/rectange pattern reflecting no initiation from market participants can be marked as a no-trading zone, but its boundaries can be used to foretell the near future trend.

Currently, the Ethereum price trades at $1656, and with an intraday gain of 0.6, it’s heading back to the overhead resistance of $1700. If the bullish momentum rises, the coin buyers can break this psychological resistance to trigger a longer pullback in the prevailing downtrend.

The post-breakout rally could surge the price 6% higher to retest the breached support trendline as potential resistance. This flipped barrier could assist sellers in recuperating selling momentum and set the Ethereum price back on the correction track.

On a contrary note, if the anticipated pullback breaks above $1800, the sellers may start losing grip over the Ethereum coin.
