The market took a nosedive over the weekend, and now ETH is on a clear path to retest the $2,500 support. According to market data by CoinGecko, ETH has been down 4% over the past day and 18% since Thursday.

Key Support levels: $2,500, $2,200

Key Resistance levels: $2,800, $3,000

With a bearish cross on MACD and plunging price, the outlook for ETH is not great. The rejection at the $2,800 resistance has intensified the sell-off. ETH is now heading towards the key support level at $2,500.

In case the latter level doesn’t hold, ETH might take another shot at January’s low amid $2200.
