NewsletterEthereum Price Poised for 17.5% Fall If Buyers Lose this Key Support
The Ethereum price has been in a correction phase for the past three weeks, where the altcoin plunged from the peak of $2138 to the current price of $1831, registering a loss of 14.8%. This bearish pullback is still above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level indicating the overall sentiment is bullish. However, a new bearish pattern emerged in the daily chart indicating the correction phase is likely to extend before the buyers retake trend control.
Key Points Of Ethereum Price Prediction :
- Ethereum Fear and Greed Index at 48% reflect a neutral sentiment among market participants
- A breakdown below neckline support of head and shoulder pattern will put Ethereum at risk of prolonged downfall
- The intraday trading volume in Ether is $7.18 Billion, indicating a 17.5% loss.

Today, the Ethereum price shows an intraday loss of 0.22% and continues to hover above the neckline support trendline of the head and shoulder pattern. As of now, the crypto market remains uncertain and eagerly waits for the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and FOMC conference on May 3rd.
An anticipated hawkish stance from these macroeconomic events will likely accelerate the selling pressure in the crypto market. Thus, a potential breakdown from the aforementioned neckline support for Ethereum price hints at the resumption of the ongoing correction.
