Ethereum may be closer to a major turning point than it appears, as key technical signals begin to align. Despite recent weakness, the emergence of a death cross, often seen near the end of downtrends, suggests the market could be approaching its final phase of capitulation. With historical patterns pointing to a nearing bottom, attention is shifting from fear to opportunity. Worst-Case Scenario: Final Phase Of The Bottoming Process In outlining a worst-case scenario for Ethereum, crypto analyst Sykodelic explained that if the market has not yet fully bottomed, it is likely in the final 2%–3% of the overall bottoming process. Such a narrow margin suggests that while some downside risk may remain, the majority of the correction has already played out, placing price action near a potential exhaustion point. Related Reading: Analyst Shares ‘Realistic’ Ethereum Price Targets For The Next 3 Years Historical behavior tied to the Death Cross on the 3-day chart further supports this perspective. In past cycles, Ethereum has either bottomed right at the moment of the death cross or very shortly afterward. Only one instance deviated slightly, with the market taking additional time before forming a final low. A death cross occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, indicating a market that is deeply compressed and overextended. While often interpreted as a bearish signal, in many cases, it marks the late stages of a downtrend, where selling pressure begins to fade, and long-term buyers gradually step in. If Ethereum follows this historical pattern under a worst-case scenario, the final bottom could emerge roughly 54 days after the death cross, placing the projected timing around April 28. Expecting a significantly longer bottoming phase would be inconsistent with past cycles and may be unlikely, especially considering that the current market expansion has been relatively weak. With downside likely limited and the bottoming phase nearing completion, the focus increasingly shifts toward strategic accumulation rather than panic selling. ETH Struggles Below Key $2,300 Resistance Zone According to Chad, Ethereum is still not ready to break above the upper daily Bollinger Band and the key horizontal resistance zone around $2,300. Price continues to struggle in this region, showing repeated signs of rejection, which suggests that bullish momentum remains insufficient for a sustained breakout. Related Reading: Ethereum Mirrors A 2023 Setup As Buyers Take Control Of Derivatives On Binance So far, market structure is unfolding as expected, with key levels being respected on both sides. The inability to reclaim the $2,300 zone reinforces the idea that ETH is still in a consolidation phase. Attention now shifts to the downside, where a crucial confluence area sits around $2,150. This level combines a strong horizontal support zone with the 20-day SMA, making it a key level to watch. A breakdown below this region could open the door for further downside, while a successful hold may signal stability and set the stage for another attempt at higher levels.

Crypto analyst Crypflow has explained what the Bitcoin relief rally above $71,000 means for the leading crypto and hinted that BTC could still drop lower. This came as the analyst alluded to the previous bear markets and how recent rallies are mirroring price action in past cycles. Analyst Warns Relief Rallies Are Getting Weaker Amid Bitcoin’s Rally Above $71,000 In an X post, Crypflow stated that Bitcoin relief rallies are weakening and that every bear market has them. He noted that during the 2014 bear market, BTC saw relief rallies of up to 100% while in 2018, it saw rallies of between 50% and 90%. These relief rallies weakened during the 2022 bear market, as Bitcoin saw relief rallies of only up to 45%. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flashes ‘Dangerous’ Macro Fractal – What To Expect For Price The Bitcoin relief rallies in this cycle have again weakened, with the largest rally so far 26%. Crypflow noted that each cycle, these relief rallies lose strength, but that doesn’t mean that BTC can’t go higher in the short term. However, he warned that there is still significant resistance above, suggesting the leading crypto could drop further before it finds a bottom. Bitcoin recently rallied above $73,000 as the U.S.-Iran peace talks took place over the weekend. However, the leading crypto has since retraced to around $71,000 as peace talks between the U.S. and Iran broke down. Trump also announced that the U.S. will impose a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz following the failed peace talks. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen stated in an X post that Bitcoin will very likely remain in a bear market, despite short-term countertrend rallies. He added that the hardest part of mid-term years is just not believing in every single rally. A Large Downside Move In The Coming Weeks Crypto analyst Doctor Profit stated that he expects a large downside move in the coming weeks and that it should not take much longer, as the move is very close. The analyst added that he also expects a large trap for bulls, which market makers will use to push Bitcoin lower into the $50,000 range and even further afterward. Related Reading: Higher Before Lower: How Bitcoin Price Will Get To $240,000 Doctor Profit declared that Bitcoin has not bottomed out and that the only question is how high the relief rally will be before it continues its downward momentum. He stated that the probability of a relief rally to $76,000 before rejection is extremely high. Meanwhile, the probability of a rally to between $79,000 and $84,000 is medium. The analyst also predicted a massive crash for the S&P 500 within the next two months. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $71,000, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
