Ethereum has once again plummeted below $200 after buyer\u2019s failed attempt to recapture this level yesterday, with the turbulence seen by Bitcoin overnight leading ETH to decline alongside most major altcoins.<\/p>\n

Analysts are now widely noting that ETH could be in a precarious situation, as it is currently resting above a key support level that, if lost, could lead to some significant short-term downside.<\/p>\n

One top trader is also noting that Ethereum\u2019s BTC trading pair is showing a \u201cvery scary volatility squeeze\u201d that could mean a \u201chuge impulse\u201d is imminent.<\/p>\n

Ethereum is \u201cOn the Edge\u201d of Plummeting Lower as it Taps Key Support<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Ethereum<\/a> is trading down just over 5% at its current price<\/a> of $190, which marks a massive decline from daily highs of roughly $205 that were set yesterday in tandem with Bitcoin\u2019s rise to highs of $8,100.<\/p>\n

The decline from this level has now led Ethereum below its key support within the mid-$190 region, as this is where bulls were able to support the cryptocurrency\u2019s price during its recent capitulatory selloff earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Analysts are now noting that Ethereum\u2019s current price region is an \u201cedge\u201d that bulls must ardently defend<\/a>, as a dip below it could lead it to plummet until it reaches between $170 and $180.<\/p>\n

Crypto Micha\u00ebl, a prominent cryptocurrency analyst and former full-time trader at the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, spoke about the importance of this support in a recent tweet, explaining that he is currently eyeing further short-term downside.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the edge here. Losing $195 and we’ll see $170-180 (which is a significant zone for me). So far, not even a slight reaction towards $212-216,\u201d he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
