The Ethereum market price maintains a lateral trend between the $1247 support level and the overhead resistance of $1427. However, the declining trend within the consolidation range leads to a descending triangle pattern in the daily chart.

The downtrend is maintained under check with the 20-day EMA accounting for a drop of 3.8% over the last week. Currently, the market price is close to the support level with no significant movement in the trading volume, increasing the possibility of a bearish breakdown.

In case a daily candle closes below the $1247 support level, a downtrend seems inevitable to the $1150 mark accounting for a price dump of 9.5%.  

On an optimistic note, the low price rejection candle on October 12th reflects high demand pressure below the $1247 support level. Therefore, in case of a bull cycle, breaking about the resistance trendline sideline Traders can find a lucrative buying opportunity.

The bullish breakout rally of the descending triangle will reach the bearish ceiling of $1427, accounting for a price jump of 10.85% percent.
