ETH/USD Seems Undecided!

As you can see on the h4 chart, ETH/USD is trapped within a down channel and also between 3,470.02 and 3,000 levels. In the short term, it could move sideways. Staying above 3,000 psychological level may announce a potential breakout above the downtrend line.

The down channel pattern could represent a bullish reversal pattern. Still, as long as it stays under the downtrend line, ETH/USD could extend its downside movement.

ETH/USD Prediction!

Ethereum could develop a range pattern in the short term. A buying opportunity could be signaled by a valid breakout above the downtrend line or by a strong bullish pattern around the 3,000 psychological level.

A larger downside movement could be signaled and confirmed by a valid breakdown below the 3,000 psychological level.
