Ethereum Price Analysis Hints Potential Threat of Bull Trap; Will ETH Revisit $1500?
On March 17th, the Ethereum coin price gave a decisive breakout from the resistance trendline of the megaphone pattern. The pattern formation itself is a sign of uncertainty among participants accentuating an unclear trend the ETH price witnessed since February 2023. Thus, a bullish breakout from this pattern’s resistance trendline is expected to release the trapped bullish momentum and encourage a significant price rally.
Key Points:
- A bullish breakout from the megaphone pattern’s resistance trendline projects a potential bull-run ahead
- A post-retest rally may push the ETH price 15% higher to hit the $2000 mark
- The intraday trading volume in Ether is $11.9 billion, indicating a 43% gain.

By the press time, the Ethereum price trades at $1766 and continues to hover above the breached trendline of megaphone to check price sustainability at a higher level. Today, the coin price shows a long-lower price rejection candle indicating the buyers attempt to defend the newly reclaimed support
As per the Fibonacci extension indicator, the buyers may drive the Ether coin price to potential targets of $1890 at 0.786, followed by the 100% FIB level at $2010.

On a contrary note, the daily chart showed long-wick rejection candles on March 18th and 19th, indicating the sellers are trying to regain trend control. Therefore, the coin holders should check for price suitability above the breached trendline for a few days as additional confirmation.
However, a break below the trendline will consider the prior breakout as a bull trap and may pull the prices back to $1600 support.
Technical Indicator
Bolinder Band: the Ethereum coin constantly retesting the upper band of the Bollinger band indicator suggests the prices are trying to stabilize from the prior uptrend. Thus, after a short consolidation, the buyers should resume the prevailing recovery.
MACD: a significant gap between the bullish alignment of MACD(blue) and signal(orange) indicates aggressive buying momentum for Ethereum.
