<p>Based on the historical price momentum, whenever ETH takes support from this level, it experiences a massive upside rally. Investors and traders are expecting a similar price rally.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>However, if ETH fails to maintain itself above this trendline and closes a daily candle below the $2,150 level, there is a high chance it could experience significant downside momentum in the coming days.</p>
