Is ETH in Danger of Falling to $3K or Will the Bulls Wake Up?

The Daily Chart
A closer look at the daily chart shows that Ethereum has reached a pivotal support region after a brief consolidation correction stage. This region encompasses the price range between the 0.5 ($3421) and 0.618 ($3289) Fibonacci levels, aligning with the substantial support of the 100-day moving average ($3412). T
The alignment of these support indicators highlights the strength of this critical level and the prevailing demand at this juncture, which could halt further downward pressure.
A battle between buyers and sellers is expected at this pivotal price range, leading to heightened market volatility and potential liquidations. The outcome will likely determine Ethereum’s upcoming trend. If sellers overcome buyers and breach this crucial support region, a cascade toward the 200-day moving average at $2996 will be imminent.

The 4-Hour Chart
On the 4-hour chart, Ethereum formed a head and shoulders pattern, resulting in increased selling activity and a break below the pattern’s neckline.
This development and a bearish divergence between the price and the RSI indicator have heightened bearish momentum, leading to a significant downward movement. Following this, Ethereum has formed a descending flag pattern, a well-known bullish continuation pattern if breached from the upper boundary.

Currently, the price is hovering around a critical and decisive support region marked by the 0.5 ($3420) to 0.618 ($3289) Fibonacci retracement levels and the flag’s lower boundary. This area is experiencing intensified volatility and fluctuations.
If sellers break down this crucial support, an impulsive downtrend targeting the $2.9K support is expected. Conversely, if sufficient demand returns and shrinks the existing supply, a reversal towards the flag’s upper boundary at $3.6K will likely occur.

What affects the price of Ethereum (ETH)?

Cryptocurrencies traded on the open market are much like any other asset traders can access on an exchange. ETH - the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum protocol - is no exception. Its price can be affected by many factors that can be categorized into two. First, there are internal considerations specific to Ethereum. For example, positive developments associated with the protocol can boost the price of ETH, while negative developments can lead to a decline. On the other hand, there are also external factors. For example, many altcoins, including ETH, are affected by Bitcoin price fluctuations. Therefore, if BTC goes into a parabolic bull run, this usually leads to increased investments and inflows into the altcoin sector, positively impacting ETH’s price and vice-versa.

How to read Ethereum (ETH) Charts?

There are various software solutions and trading tools used to gauge the price of Ethereum on a chart, but the most common one is undoubtedly through a chart with Japanese candlesticks. Every candlestick is a visual representation of a time frame - it can be a second, a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, or even a year. Each candle provides specific information, which includes the opening price, the current price, the closing price (the price at which the candle was closed and a new one appeared on the chart), as well as the highest and the lowest point of the price reached during that time frame. In addition to simply looking at the candles, most charting tools also provide additional instruments such as moving average trendlines, Fibonacci retracement levels, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and more.

The biggest cryptocurrencies fell during the European morning, extending the subdued mood after the Federal Reserve trimmed interest-rate cut expectations on Wednesday. Bitcoin and ether both fell by around 1% over 24 hours, CoinDesk Indices data show. Bitcoin dropped to just below $66,000 – near the low end of the $72,000-$65,000 range it's been trading in for the past month – and ether was quoted around $3,500.

The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), a measure of the broader crypto market, fell about 1.8%. Markets in many countries are closed for Islam's Eid al-Adha festival. Meme coins led declines, with SHIB losing 3.5% and DOGE dropping 1.7%.

U.S.-listed bitcoin miners reached a record market cap of $22.8 billion on June 15, JPMorgan said in a report. The bank noted that almost all the companies outperformed bitcoin in the first two weeks of June, with Core Scientific the best performer, adding 117%, and Argo Blockchain the worst, dropping 7%.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency fell 3% in the same period. Bitcoin mining stocks gained in the first half of the month as investors reacted positively to news of Core Scientific’s deal with artificial intelligence firm CoreWeave, the report said. Mining difficulty also extended its fall since April's reward halving.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) said it will undertake further work on the challenges posed by stablecoins in emerging and developing economies. The decision was taken during a meeting in Toronto of the FSB's plenary, the sole decision-making body of the standard-setting and advisory organization, according to a Friday statement. The FSB has been one of the main architects of global crypto policy. Last year, along with the International Monetary Fund, it framed a joint policy paper on crypto, warning against implementing blanket bans to mitigate risks associated with the sector. At last week's meeting, FSB members discussed areas that "warrant further attention" in the industry.
