The sustained selling in Ethereum(ETH) price has knocked out several horizontal levels and DMAs. The altcoin recently breached the $2800 suggesting the sellers are prepared for another leg down. Moreover, the sellers could extend the correction rally to $2500 under the descending trendline influence.

On April 5th, the Ethereum(ETH) price turned down from the $3600 resistance with an evening star candle. With Bitcoin losing $40000 support, altcoin faced the same fate and displayed a V-top reversal.

The sustained selling has breached three significant support levels such as $3200, $3000, and now recently the, $2800. However, today the ETH price is up by 1.24% and is trying to retest the breached resistance.

The ETH price will descend 11.6% towards the $2500 support if the selling momentum persists. Moreover, the technical chart shows a highly influential descending trendline which provides constant resistance to coin price.

This descending trendline assists traders in selling the rallies, which could bolster a freefall to $2500.

Alternatively, a bullish breakout from the resistance trendline would suggest the end of this minor correction and may trigger a new recovery rally. The potential rally may bring the ETH price $3000 resistance.
