Ethereum’s native token Ether (ETH) looks prepared to undergo a failure relocate May because it forms a convincing “bear pennant” structure.
ETH cost to $1,500?
ETH’s cost continues to be consolidating since May 11 in the range based on two converging trendlines. Its sideways move coincides having a stop by buying and selling volumes, underscoring the chance that ETH/USD is painting a bear pennant.
Bear pennants are bearish continuation patterns, meaning they resolve following the cost breaks underneath the structure’s lower trendline after which falls up to the peak from the previous move downside (known as the flagpole).
Because of this technical rule, Ether risks closing below its pennant structure, adopted by additional moves towards the downside.
The peak of ETH’s flagpole is about $650. Therefore, when the cost undergoes breakdown in the pennant’s apex point near $2,030 then your structure’s bearish target is going to be below $1,500, lower over 25% in the cost on May 15.
Sell-off, pullback
Interestingly, the bear pennant’s profit target grouped into the area that preceded a 250% cost rally within the Feb-November 2021 session. Also, the prospective is about Ether’s 200-day exponential moving average (200-day EMA nowhere wave), presently near $1,600.
Ideally, the demand zone could prompt Ether traders to accumulate the tokens awaiting a clear, crisp upside retracement.
Suppose it takes place, then ETH’s cost interim profit target would probably be the multi-month downward sloping trendline which has offered as resistance inside a “falling channel” pattern, as proven within the chart below.
ETH was already rebounding after testing the demand zone, and also the falling channel’s lower trendline, as support. This might push ETH/USD to achieve the channel’s upper trendline near $3,000, about 50% over the cost of May 15, by June.
Extended breakdown scenario
The worst-situation scenario might be ETH breaking underneath the demand zone, brought by macro risks as well as their effect on the crypto market to date in 2022.
