Ethereum price warrants concern

Ethereum price is developing more bearish signals as the weekend progresses. Since Friday, September 10, the bears have forged a 22% decline. The decline comes at an interesting time as the market sentiment has been quite bullish with speculation that the Merge would bring fruitful returns.

Ethereum price currently auctions at $1,384. The 8-day exponential and 21-day simple moving averages have produced a classical death cross mentioned in the previous thesis as a significant “get out of the way” signal.

A Fibonacci projection tool from the strongest $2,030 high projected into the recent pullback near $1,800 suggests that the bears have surpassed the 61.8% FIb level. Based on Elliott Wave and Fibonacci theory, Ethereum bulls may remain sidelined until the 100% FIb level is tagged at $1,250. The 1,250 level has additional confluence as the 200-week moving hovers in the same territory.

Invalidation of the bearish thesis can occur if the bulls can hurdle both moving averages at $1,560, In doing so,a countertrend rally could occur towards $2,000. Said price action would result in a 46% increase from the current Ethereum price.
