- Ethereum price falls into a powerful support zone.
- A bearish fake-out setup could trap short-sellers.
- A quick return to the $4,000 value area is expected.
Ethereum price has faced expansive bearish activity over the past eight days. Since the open yesterday (January 5), Ethereum has lost nearly 19%, moving from $4,047 to today’s low of $3,300. Further downside pressure should become more complex.
Ethereum price finds support at $3,250
Ethereum price action has undoubtedly frayed the nerves of many bulls recently. ETH is now in its ninth week of a broader corrective move south, but that will probably end here very soon.
Sellers were defeated, handily, at the $3,250 value area. It’s no wonder why there was such an abrupt halt to selling pressure. The weekly Kijun-Sen, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, and a high volume node share the $3,250 value area. The expected price action for Ethereum price is a return to the $4,000 value area.
The oscillators support a bounce off of the $3,250 level as a launching pad for a new leg higher. The Relative Strength Index is currently testing the first oversold level in a bull market (50). However, the most critical condition is the hidden bearish divergence between the candlestick chart and the Composite Index.
If traders are looking for solid evidence that a bottom is likely in and the bull market is about to resume, then hidden bullish divergence appearing while price hits a strong support zone is often all the evidence needed to confirm that future bullish movement. In addition, because a significant number of short positions were added after Etheruem price moved below the last bull flag, an incoming short squeeze will exacerbate any higher price movements.

If Ethereum price closes below the weekly Kijun-Sen, that will invalidate the current bullish reversal outlook.
