Can This Upcoming Trendline Prevent Further Downfall In Ethereum Price?

The daily ETH/USDT technical chart shows the formation of a cup and handle pattern. In response to this pattern, the coin price should follow an uptrend direction and break the neckline resistance of $2000. By doing so, the Ethereum price would obtain an early signal for trend reversal which could grab the first target of $2500. However, the coin price currently trades at $1575 and 8% down on the intraday level.

Key points from Ethereum price analysis: 

• The Ethereum price has lost 11% in the last three days.
• An upcoming support trendline may assist buying to maintain a recovery rally.
• The intraday trading volume in Ethereum is $22.5 Billion, indicating an insignificant rise of 22.8%.

Today’s sell-off initiated with the fresh data consumer price index(CPI), pointing to an 8.3% YoY inflation. However, the bearish momentum accelerated as the CME Fed Watch Tool showed a 20% chance of a 100 bps or 1% interest rate hike. Thus, the market sentiment is again in turmoil, and questioning has the bottom really formed.

Anyhow, the technical chart currently shows a bullish reversal pattern governing the Ethereum price action, and therefore, traders can keep a bullish outlook until they don’t lose the swing low support of $1430. 

As of now, the bearish engulfing candle retests the combined support of $1550 and the upcoming support trendline. However, if today’s daily candle closes above this support, the price holds a recovery opportunity.

A possible reversal from this concentrated support will surge the altcoin 28% higher to hit the neckline of the aforementioned pattern.

On a contrary note, if the selling pressure persists and the daily candle closes below $1550, the price will fall to $1430 and attempt to breach it
