Throughout the past few days and weeks, Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has experienced mixed price action, with the inability of buyers and sellers to gain any notable control over the price action of the cryptocurrency as it consolidates.
It has posted a strong reaction to a few attempts from sellers to push it down to the lower-$1,000 region, with this level being ardently defended.

The area it trends in the mid-term should largely depend on whether or not bulls can protect the cryptocurrency from further downside, as it keeps building momentum against its BTC pair that could launch it higher – should it be maintained.
