On August 17th, the Ethereum coin showcased a massive breakdown from the rising channel pattern. This chart setup carried a sustained uptrend for nearly nine months, offering an excellent opportunity to accumulate at dips.
However, this breakdown may flip the market sentiment into a sell-on bounce providing an opportunity to short-sell. By press time, the ETH price trades at $1671 with an intraday gain of 0.13%.
Usually, a massive downfall is followed by a minor pullback to recuperate bullish momentum. However, the coin price trading sideways reflects the selling momentum is still aggressive which could lead to a breakdown below $1620.
The post-breakdown fall may lead the altcoin to $1495, followed by $1370.

Can ETH Price Reclaim Higher Grounds?
In case the Ethereum buyers rebounded from the $1620 support, the price trend may surge by 7% to retest the breached trendline of the channel. If the coin price sustained below this flipped support the coin holders may still be under correction threat.
For buyers to undermine this breakdown and kickstart a fresh recovery, the coin price should give a closing above the August 17th high of $1808.
