The Ethereum price has dipped by 1% today, with its fall to $1,653 coming amid a similar loss for the cryptocurrency market as a whole.
ETH is now down by 2% in a week and by 10% in the last 30 days, with the market's biggest altcoin remaining up by 38% since the beginning of the year.

This fall below $1,800 created a weakness that resulted in ETH then dropping below $1,700, implying that it may also struggle to resist a fall below $1,600.
Some investors have recently predicted that ETH could sink as low as $1,400 before
