ETH needs to hold $2,340 to prevent a slide lower

Looking at the mechanics, ETH presents another healthy setup, similar to BTC.

The Funding rate is at 0.01%, and Open Interest is down from its highs.

There is no heavy overweighting here or too much leverage, so it is all good from this point of view.

Technical analysis

  • For a long time, we had identified the $2,340 horizontal level as a key level of resistance, and if broken to the upside, ETH would flip it into new support.
  • Price broke above $2,340 and immediately tested the $2,640 horizontal level we had outlined for weeks as a possible major resistance.
  • Price was then rejected at $2,640, as we predicted.
  • ETH is now forming a descending triangle, which usually has a bias to break to the upside.
  • If price does break down more meaningfully, this is where the $2,340 level will become important again. Ideally, to maintain a continued bullish structure (from a zoomed-out viewpoint), $2,340 would need to hold as new support.

Cryptonary's take

$2,430 could be a local bottoming area for ETH that would maintain the formation of the descending triangle, and then, ETH could break upwards from there. 

Ultimately, if there is more downside, $2,340 will need to hold as support. If not, $2,133 could come into the picture again.

If price breaks down and re-enters into the old range between $2,133 and $2,340, this would be a good zone to continue DCA'ing into for the long term – 12 to 18 months from today.
