ETH price moves south

Now, the price took a little breather around the vital support of around $3,000. A daily close below the mentioned level would invite more sellers on the board.
On the downside, the first lower target is placed at $2,750 with no in-between stoppages.
Furthermore, a break of the mentioned level could see the token crash to $2,000 before reassessing the directional bias.

Investors could explore the supply zone extending from the $3,400 and $3,750 in a highly optimistic scenario.
