Ethereum is Wounded — And The Bears Are Watching! (ETH) 

Ethereum / U.S. dollarBitstamp

Huraian

Hi friends! In an attempt to give my lovely viewers a heads up on the potential dangers in this market, I would like to share this gloomy analysis with you.

Now, Let's take a look at Ethereum! Looking at the four hour chart for ETH, we can see that it has rallied off of yesterday's low, only to form an enormous bear flag consolidation pattern (black flag,) in the process. Typically, analysts will take the height of the flagpole, and subtract it from the breakdown point of the flag, to estimate a price target. When I make measurements like this, I usually like to find support levels that correlate with the price target area. As you can see, the red support level is my "primary" target for this bear flag, which is around $489.50. There hasn't been a breakdown yet, so there is no confirmation that this is a bear flag. However, it certainly looks, smells, and tastes like a bear flag, and they don't generally taste very good. All kidding aside, we need to see a breakdown from the flag, to know for sure. Taking a closer look at the chart, we can see that price action has cleared the 200 EMA (in purple) and is now holding support on the 38.2% retracement level. There could be slightly more upside, as ETH trades inside of the flag, but I think it will be limited. A sustained breakout above the topside of the flag, will negate it entirely. On the other hand, a breakdown will confirm the bear flag, and could quickly generate some intense selling. As a side note, it's important to realize that price targets aren't always met. Therefore, I have also considered a "secondary" target, where the flag could bottom if it breaks down. The secondary target is at the 78.6% retrace, around $615. In summary, we now have evidence to support the argument for a continuation in the selloff. A breakdown will be confirmation of that evidence.

This has been your not-so-humble market wizard, droppin' knowledge like bombs in this place! Please follow, comment, like, and share on social media! Good luck trading everyone.

Thoughts on this Gnarley ass potential head and shoulders with a neckline target around $1!??

Thanks to your great explanations, these stilly patterns are starting to make sense. I didn't set out in crypto wanting to learn this crap, but you're forcing me to learn. Cheers!

Volumes are slightly higher than the levels we had when it broke down from 1300 recently. I agree with MPC, downside is likely after this consolidation is complete.

Just remember folks, this could break upwards at any moment if the whales will it. As I type there's suddently a lot of buy support between 1000-1010.

Good to see sone confirmation because sold all my 0.05 eth at 999USDT and put a buy order at 750USDT in hopes that we would test 700 since we never quite got there last time but all we've done is rise lately so i have been a bit shaken. :p
