Since striking its ATH on 10 November, the king alt has been on a steep downtrend in the last 11 weeks. The descent saw a clash between the buyers and sellers at the $4,000-mark Point of Control (red) that offered enormous liquidity. But as the bearish vigor prevailed, Ether (ETH) lost nearly half its value after losing the aforementioned mark.
