The Ethereum price is unchanged in the past 24 hours, with its move to $1,567 over the weekend meaning that it has fallen by 4% in a week and by 6% in the last 30 days. However, it remains up by 31% since the start of 2023, with its $1,550 support level holding strong in the past few days, suggesting that it won't be returning to the lows of last year.

Similarly, ETH's relative strength index (purple) has now fallen below 50 and could be on its way lower. It won't have bottomed until it reaches somewhere around 30 or 20.

So even if ETH is likely to fall further in the next few days, there's confidence that it will recover soon enough. That said, the market needs to hope that the (potentially) incoming bankruptcy of Silvergate Bank doesn't bring down other crypto-related firms in its wake, something which could cause selloffs to
