After failing to break out of a ceiling at the 50.00 level earlier in the week, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is now tracking at 45.50.
Should price strength continue to plummet, the next visible point of support seems to be at the 43.00 mark.
Bears in the market will be hoping that this floor is not only hit, but broken, which could trigger a move below $16,000. Ethereum

Following a high of $1,252.30 on Wednesday, ETH/USD dived to a low of $1,224.45 earlier in the day.

The index now appears to be heading towards a support point at the 45.00 level.
