<h2>ETH Technical Analysis</h2>
Ethereum (ETH) price chart displays a surge in the selling pressure evident by the spike in trading volume supporting the downfall. As a result, the price trend reverts from $1700, resulting in the completion of a head and shoulder pattern in the daily chart.

The bearish breakout challenges the buyers at the psychological mark of $1500, which may shortly result in a drop to $1361. However, the daily candle is showing lower price rejection, trying to hold off a downtrend.

The prices trade under the 50 and 100-day SMA, undermining the recent bullish crossover. Instead, it increases the possibility of a bearish crossover which may further fuel the downfall.

If the $1500 support level breaks this weekend, the ETH prices may drop to the $1269 mark. However, the Doji candle forming near $1500 can halt the prices above the psychological mark.
<h2>Technical Indicators</h2>
The RSI slope represents Ethereum is nearly oversold as the slope plummets below the halfway line. Furthermore, the MACD indicator signals a high momentum bear trend as the negative histograms intensify.

Hence, the risk of ETH prices plummeting under the psychological mark of $1500 increases.

Resistance Levels: $1700 and $1900

Support Levels: $1500 and $1361
