The Rise and Fall of ETH Part 3 (The great bull trap)

RSI broke down from trend. Price flirting with breaking the parabolic trendline. Could still get one more high to 2.618 ext. but if we start closing candles above there the idea is pretty much invalidated. This feels similar to the bitcoin bull trap of early 2014 to me, could be wrong of course : )

Note

broke the parabolic trendline...

Note

4h chart...looks like a head and shoulders pattern in the works:

Note

Hi all, last update was in the comments, was watching that rising wedge. Since it broke up that pretty much invalidated the bearish head and shoulders pattern and thus it was the clear sign I was wrong. What now is tough to say, definitely still a believer in this general idea, but the price can easily go higher first. There is strong resistance at the 2.618 fib extension so that's where I would expect this to reverse. If not perhaps ETH truly is going to into the stratosphere, but at this market cap relative to bitcoin and all the potential competition coming in for ETH, scaling problems, etc…I doubt it but who knows. Stubborn bear : )

Note

Here we go, price at resistance now. I think that could be it for ETH...give or take. Probably depends on the bitcoin bottom being in. I think theres great potential for this to be the yearly top and if not at least good for a big drop.

Yes I could be wrong, be careful, blah blah blah. Is this time different? Is ETH about to overtake bitcoin? Anything is possible but its usually unwise to bet against the king. If you disagree feel free to long ETH : ) Anyway, Gluck! Most importantly have fun.

Note

Horizontal support seems to be holding well, and stoch rsi screaming for a bounce. Looking for it to become a right shoulder before the big drop down doe. Watch volume, should be weak.

Note

Considering the bounce in bitcoin (and negative correlation)...this right shoulder may be brief.

Note

...target reached. Beautiful.

Looks like the Coinbase founders were really upset about their value getting destroyed...they just announced support for ICO's in the future. Time for the exit pump? If not should prolly be good for at least a small bounce.

Note

Indicators:

Note

ETH/USD bounce beautifully off of support from 6 month ascending triangle earlier in the year, which also happens to be the .786 fib level. This level should hold at least for now, what happens if bitcoin makes new lows? Hmmm.

Note

red trendline must have slipped out of wack, fixed it:

Note

3d chart...hidden bull divs erry where

Note

Hmmm lots of hidden bear divs forming at the 200 MA on the daily chart...this could pull back around here. There is a bull flag on lower time frames...keep an eye on it. Daily may have more weight.

Note

The price broke the flag on the 4h chart...seems we are at a pivotal point here. If we can break the channel--up to at least the .075-.08 range. But I think more likely we get a nice pull back here before higher.Yesterday ETHUSD broke its bear market channel, perhaps that was a hint of what comes next in BTC? If so btc could steal the show for a bit while alt/btc ratios pull back. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Note

chart link got messed up sorry, here:

Note

kinda feels like most alts have interim topped...about to test the channel, if we break back below looking for the initial post. Price would have to break the local high to convince me the bull is back.

Note

Seems like one more leg up (perhaps after some consolidation) then that may be all she wrote:

Note

Daily chart...RSI has been a great indicator to watch...hanging on by a thread:

Note

...here we go...if .08 falls watch out for a big drop.

Note

Would you prefer the small hammer or the big hammer? What is the risk reward here? Gluck.

Note

2h chart...if we break below .00825 it could be the start of a larger move down.

Note

Time for another sad face? Destination the same Either way IMO. 2h chart.

Note

Here we go... (2h and 1d charts)

Note

Perhaps the world computer does have one more rally left before it meets its maker. If it breaks the trendline it could even go as far as .011xx but wouldn’t count on it.

Note

Head and shoulders failed...downtrend resumes

Note

Pretty much all alts bouncing... *if* and thats a big if... it can back above the neckline there could still be a bit of upside left. Probably best to see which breaks decisively first .076 or .08.

Note

.076 failed to hold...downtrend resumes.

Note

Short term target is top of the light blue box...then black dotted trendline eventually.

Note

Lol SEC declares ETH is not a security. Meh, still don't see it getting back above .0815 level, we'll see.

Note

Daily RSI (which has been great for ETH/BTC) is giving us a hint : )

Note

Perhaps we could get a fractal of prior price action...yes I think it is ultimately going that low. Feel free to disagree.

Note

Looks like a bear flag to me...

Note

Bear flag target was hit...could get something like this but going lower eventually IMO

Note

Fractal did not initially play out, so as u would expect dropped to the next level of support. Still think a dead cat to the pink trendline is likely before the fall, a break of the rsi trend supports this notion.
