Ethereum Value at Risk as Bears Dominate

From a technical standpoint, Ethereum is in a bear market regardless of the Ichimoku Cloud and EMA 50 signal in the 4-Hour Chart. This is because the price is below the descending trendline, depicted in green in the 4-hour chart above.

If the bears maintain the Ethereum value below the descending line at about $3,170, the selling pressure will likely increase. In this scenario, the immediate target could be $2,857, followed by April’s low at $2,791. If the pressure persists, the Ethereum price could dip deeper.

The Bullish Scenario

The $3,170 immediate resistance plays the role between the bear and the bull market. If the bulls can manage to close and stabilize the Ethereum price above the $3,170 mark, the uptick momentum began from April’s low will likely target the 38.2% Fibonacci ($3,286) followed by 23.6% at $3,594.
