Ethereum Price Dip: $1600 Ahead?
Ethereum (ETH) is showing signs of weakness, with analysts predicting a potential price decline to $1600. This forecast follows a breakdown from a symmetrical triangle pattern, a technical indicator often suggesting bearish momentum.
Ethereum's Descent Towards $1600
Crypto analyst Bit Bull recently predicted on X (link to tweet) that ETH could fall as low as $1600. This prediction is based on the price breaking below the $1,820 support level of the symmetrical triangle pattern. The breach, coupled with low trading volume after a retest, reinforces bearish signals. ETH has been trading below the key psychological level of $2000 for some time.
Bit Bull points to a descending triangle forming on the ETH dominance chart as further evidence of bearish pressure. While a retest of the upper trendline is possible, a subsequent downturn is anticipated.
On-Chain Metrics Underscore Bearish Sentiment
Technical analysis isn't the only source of concern. On-chain data reveal a significant decrease in active Ethereum addresses and a decline in transaction fees. Increased ETH supply post-Merge also contributes to a bearish outlook. This confluence of technical and on-chain factors fuels the prediction of a price drop.
Despite the negative signals, some analysts still see potential for ETH to reach $4000 by year's end, based on support levels around $1800. However, this more optimistic outlook is considerably more cautious than previous forecasts.
At the time of writing, ETH trades at $1803, showing slight daily and weekly declines. Trading volume is approximately $7 billion, with significant activity from whale investors.
