Ethereum price has slowed down its bullish momentum despite the recent rally. This is mainly due to its entry into a key supply zone.

Ethereum Price Analysis: Will Crash First before $2,000?
The four-hour chart shows Ethereum price has hit a supply zone, extending from $1,780 to $1,820, after a 15% rally. Today, ETH’s price trades at $1,795 with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) producing lower lows after hitting the overbought zone, typically indicating a decline in bullish momentum. Over the past month, a decline in RSI inside the overbought conditions has led to corrections. If history repeats, then correction is highly likely for Ethereum (ETH).
However, due to the weekend, ETH price will be volatile, leading to liquidity hunts.
The most amount of pain will be caused if Ethereum price slides down to $1,731 or lower. However, there might be a push to the upside first to liquidate eager shorts before culling the late longs.
Two key levels to watch during the weekend include – $1,840 and $1,890, potentially up to $1,900. A short-term spike into this area to lure longs and liquidate shorts would be the best signal that ETH price is heading lower.
To the downside, Ethereum must manage to hold $1,669 or at least $1,600 to resume its recently developed bullish trend. A failure to do so could spell trouble for ETH bulls.
