Ethereum Price Nearing $1240 Support Breakdown; Back To $1000?
This mid-week, the Ethereum price witnessed a minor pullback after hitting local support of $1240. However, the prices struggling to breach the immediate resistance of $1330 indicates sellers are defending this level aggressively. If the selling pressure persists, the sellers will undermine this bullish pullback this coming week.
Key points:
- The Ethereum price downfall stalls at $1240 support.
- The Ethereum Fear and Greed Index has dropped to the extreme fear sentiment of 24%
- The intraday trading volume in Ethereum is $10.5 Billion, indicating a loss of 29%.

Amid the increasing bearish momentum in the crypto market and the interest hike from US Fed, the Ethereum price witnessed from September third week. The downfall plunged the altcoin to $1240 local support, evaporating nearly 70% of the previous June-to-August recovery.
On September 22nd, the Ethereum price bounced back from this support for an occasional pullback; however, the prices couldn’t exceed $1330 resistance. Over the past three days, the buyers made several attempts to breach this resistance, but all ended with a closing below $1300 and a higher price rejection.
The altcoin currently trades at $1306 with an intraday loss of $0.8%. A bearish reversal from this resistance will suggest the resumption of ongoing correction. Thus, with sustained selling, the Ethereum price could tumble by 4.2% and retest the $1240 support.
With a better possibility of this support breakdown, a daily candle closing below this level will provide a selling opportunity. In that case, the altcoin could crash to $1000 psychological support, with only an $1130 barrier in its way.
On a contrary note, if the Ethereum price shows a reversal sign at $1240 support, the buyers may attempt an upswing above the $1300 mark.
Technical indicator-
Relative Strength Index: the daily-RSI slope reverted lower from the 40% mark, indicating the market sentiment supports further downfall.
EMAs: the coin price trading below the downsloping crucial EMAs(20, 50, 100, and 200) indicates an aggressive downtrend.
