Some traders and investors have shown strong interest in the asset, with the same reflected by the 22% hike in trading volume to $38.55 billion.
An uptick in trading volume while the asset’s price is falling means that market participants may be reinforcing its bearish direction.
Ethereum (ETH) price action and technical analysis
According to AMBCrypto’s analysis, Ethereum is now on a downtrend. Following the breakdown of its key support level, a further downside is possible. In fact, it could fall to as low as the $2,750-level.
However, this bearish outlook would only be confirmed if ETH continues to trade below $3,000 on the charts.
That might be likely though. Especially since at press time, ETH’s Average Directional Index (ADX) stood at 43.60 — above the key threshold of 25 — indicating strong directional momentum.
