Ethereum Slumps to Its Previous Low at $1,701 as It Bounces

The price of Ethereum (ETH) has come under renewed selling pressure as the largest altcoin has hit its previous low at $1,701 once again. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,773. Prior to the recent plunge, Ether traded between $1,900 and $2,200 for two weeks.

The bears broke through the $1,900 support and hit the $1,700 low. This current price action has pushed the altcoin into the oversold territory of the market. Further selling is doubtful as buyers are emerging in the oversold region of the market. However, if the bears break below the $1,700 support, the downtrend will resume and the price will fall to the low of $1,370. The largest cryptocurrency will be forced to move between $1,700 and $2,200 if the current support holds.
