Is ETH Done Dropping?

89
A few days ago, the crypto market experienced another brutal sell-off, leaving most traders in despair.

But historically, whales love to shake people out before pushing prices up.

Looking back at past bull runs, it’s common to see a sharp crash forming a bearish pattern, only for the price to suddenly skyrocket—leaving everyone behind.

Will it happen again this time?
I can’t say for sure.

But based on the overall market structure— BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, BTC.D, OTHERS, TOTAL3 —the bull market still seems intact.

Now, let’s talk about ETH.
The recent crash completely invalidated the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, and that massive wick just happened to hit the weekly M-top target (light blue line).

Zooming out, the massive symmetrical triangle (yellow lines) from 2022 is still holding.

It looks like the whales intentionally broke below the triangle to create a bearish illusion and scare people into selling.

They did the same thing last August to November—three months of shaking out weak hands at the lower edge of the triangle.

At the time, many turned bearish.
Then, whales pumped ETH back into the triangle and even broke the upper boundary.

So right now, we see similar bearish traps:
  • An M-top that didn’t break the neckline.
  • A fake breakdown below the triangle’s lower edge without follow-through.

To me, this seems like another deliberate move to clean up weak hands.

Short-term, we’ve probably already hit the bottom.
From here, we’ll watch how the chart develops.

If you’re looking to enter, now seems like a reasonable time—but make sure you set a strict stop-loss.
