Ethereum's daily chart currently has several key points that must be watched.



First, the price has been firmly suppressed by the EMA200 daily moving average (around 3345), and the MACD indicator also looks less optimistic—clearly a sign that the bears are gaining momentum. From a pattern perspective, the daily chart has evolved into a triangle wedge, and after encountering resistance around 3400, the market has entered a wedge consolidation zone. But here’s the problem: the price rose above 3400 but couldn't hold above 3345, indicating a likely false breakout.

Once a false breakout is confirmed, ETH will need to test the 3215-3225 support zone. This level is the upper boundary of the wedge, which should theoretically provide support. However, to be honest, the probability of a breakdown is actually higher than that of holding.

If the price indeed drops to around 3215-3225, the subsequent movement will depend on whether it can hold this level. Holding could allow for a rebound, but if the body closes below, it’s a signal—that the false breakout has been confirmed, and the price will continue its previous downtrend. More critically, if the price continues downward and breaks below 3075-3065 (the lower boundary of the wedge), it will fully confirm a trend reversal, and the decline will continue further.

For those holding short positions, a body close below the 3215-3225 level is a signal to add to their positions, as this is the upper boundary of the wedge. If it breaks further below 3075-3065, then there’s no hesitation—continue adding to the short positions, because a break here confirms the continuation of the downtrend.

3345 deadlock, this fake breakout basically sealed the deal.

Is it the same old breakout again? Can it really drop to 3065 this time?

It's another false breakout. This breakout level really messes with people's mindset.

3400 is unstable, fake breakouts are certain, and short positions are going to take a hit again.

It's another false breakout, tired of this routine... --- Is 3345 really a solid barrier? If you can't stand firm, you better look down. --- Is the short opportunity here? Break 3215 and go straight in? --- Feels like this wave will continue to drop, wedge patterns are unreliable. --- Waiting to see if 3215 can hold; if it doesn't, it's game over. --- All the signals for adding positions are given; this bearish wave looks promising. --- Talking about support levels again, always breaking them, haha. --- Once the 3075 line is broken, it's time to give up... --- MACD has turned bearish, there's really nothing more to say. --- Fake breakouts cause a lot of harm, time to buy the dip again? --- Holding short feels great, now there's profit to be made.
