This sharp decline highlights increased selling pressure and growing bearish sentiment in the market.&nbsp; 
As Ethereum nears this critical threshold, traders are closely monitoring its behavior for signs of either a stabilization or a further drop. The $3,051 support level is now a focal point, determining the short-term direction of Ethereum’s price action and potentially setting the stage for future movements in the cryptocurrency market.&nbsp; 
This article aims to analyze the sharp decline affecting the digital asset and its impact on the cryptocurrency’s price as it approaches the $3,051 support level. It also seeks to provide traders and investors with a comprehensive understanding of the current situation, potential scenarios if the support level holds or breaks, and strategies for managing risk in this volatile environment. 
ETH’s price is currently trading at around $3,181 and down by 5.05% with a market capitalization of over $382 billion and a trading volume of over $18 billion as of the time of writing. In the past 24 hours, there has been a decrease of 5.25% in ETH’s market capitalization and a 74.43% increase in trading volume.

Also, an analytical view of the 4-hour Composite Trend Oscillator shows that the price of ETH may continue its bearishness as both the signal line and the SMA of the indicator have dropped below 50% and are attempting a move into the oversold zone. 
On the 1-day chart, the crypto asset has made a <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/ethereum/ethereum-price-drops-3320/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">sharp drop</a> below the 100-day SMA and is attempting a break below the bullish trend line while dropping toward the $3,051 support level.

Finally, on the 1-day chart, the composite trend oscillator indicates a further bearish move of ETH as the signal and the SMA of the indicator are both trending in the oversold zone. 
<h2 id="strong-what-if-3-051-support-fails-strong">What If $3,051 Support Fails?</h2> 
Analyzing potential outcomes if Ethereum breaks through the $3,051 <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/ethereum/ethereum-price-drops-1500/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">support level</a> reveals that if the digital asset breaks below this level, it may move lower to test the $2,865 support level and probably move on to test the $2,160 support level and other levels below if the price breaches this level. 
However, if the price of Ethereum faces rejection at the $3,051 support level, it will begin to ascend toward the $3,360 resistance level. Should the asset breach this level, it may continue to climb to test the $3,659 resistance level and possibly move on to test other higher levels if it breaches the $3,659 level.
