Ethereum Confined Between $1,300 and $1,600 as Sellers Threaten to Short

Yesterday, Ether price retested the resistance and it was repelled. The bears appear to have the upper hand above the bulls after the February 23 breakdown. For instance, the bears will sell each rally made by the bulls.

The price tussles continued as buyers pushed the price to $1,600. In March, the ETH price has been fluctuating between $1,300 and $1, 600.
