Ethereum’s technical structure has weakened further after slipping decisively 
below the $2,100 level, reinforcing short-term bearish pressure. However, 
while the breakdown raises the risk of a deeper downside, a repeating fractal 
pattern on the higher timeframe offers a potential glimmer of hope, suggesting 
that a larger breakout could still emerge if history rhymes. Key $2.3K–$2.1K 
Support Zone Lost According to Crypto Candy, Ethereum has decisively lost its 
key daily support zone between $2,300 and $2,100, closing firmly below it and 
confirming a structural breakdown. This area had previously acted as a strong 
demand region, repeatedly absorbing selling pressure. Its failure marks an 
important technical shift, suggesting that the broader market structure has 
weakened. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Stalls Under Resistance With 
Breakout Hopes Delayed With the breakdown confirmed, the former support zone 
has now flipped into a significant resistance area. ETH has already attempted 
to reclaim the $2,100–$2,300 range but has failed to regain acceptance above 
it. This rejection reinforces the idea that sellers are defending the level 
aggressively, keeping short-term momentum tilted to the downside. If bearish 
momentum continues to build, the next major support region to watch sits 
between $1,700 and $1,500. A move into this range would align with typical 
continuation behavior following a failed reclaim of broken support. For now, 
the bias remains bearish as long as Ethereum trades below the $2,300–$2,100 
zone. Only a strong reclaim followed by sustained consolidation above that 
range would invalidate the downside scenario. Ethereum Fractal Structure 
Mirrors Pre-Rally Setup Providing a weekly Ethereum update, Trader Tardigrade 
pointed to a compelling fractal comparison that suggests a familiar structure 
may be unfolding. The expert’s analysis highlights the formation of a 
rectangular consolidation box, a setup that closely resembles the price 
behavior seen before Ethereum’s explosive rally in late 2025. Related Reading:

During that previous cycle, ETH spent weeks compressing within a clearly 
defined horizontal range, building energy before eventually breaking out with 
strong momentum. The current chart shows a nearly identical box pattern 
forming, positioned similarly within the broader ascending channel. The 
symmetry between the two structures strengthens the case that this may not be 
random consolidation, but rather a repeat of a larger cyclical pattern. If the 
fractal continues to play out as it did before, a decisive breakout above the 
current range could trigger a powerful upside expansion. Just as in 2025, the 
longer the price compresses within the box, the more aggressive the eventual 
move could become. A confirmed break and sustained acceptance above the range 
would be the key signal that Ethereum is transitioning from accumulation to 
markup once again. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Willy Woo Issues Stark Warning: BTC Bear Trend Deepens Across 3 Phases

Bitcoin’s price action is struggling with bearish corrections, repeatedly 
failing to close daily trading sessions above $70,000. As it stands, Bitcoin 
is now moving in a tight range below $70,000, and crypto analysts are 
undecided on its next direction. Some see the current structure as a base for 
another push higher, but others warn that any bounce could invite new selling. 
Crypto analyst Sherlock is among the cautious voices, arguing on X that a 
rally to between $72,000 and $76,000 may not be a recovery but a kill zone for 
Bitcoin bulls. The $76,000 Breakeven Wall Crypto analyst Sherlock is of the 
notion that any Bitcoin price recovery to $76,000 from here might not actually 
be a good thing. Sherlock’s argument is based on the Bitcoin holdings of 
Strategy. At the time of writing, the company holds 714,644 BTC at an average 
cost basis of $76,052. That stash represents roughly 3.4% of the total Bitcoin 
supply that will ever exist. Related Reading: Extreme Bitcoin Shorts Could 
Predict A Bottom, Here’s The Significance Now that Bitcoin is trading around 
$68,000, Strategy&#8217;s position is significantly underwater, and the company is 
sitting at an estimated unrealized loss of about $5.7 billion at current 
prices. In the analyst&#8217;s view, every push to the $74,000 to $76,000 range 
brings this large concentration of supply closer to breakeven. Breakeven 
levels often act as selling zones. Based on that perspective, the $76,000 area 
could be risky because it brings Strategy’s position back to its average entry 
price, and many large holders might consider reducing exposure. That said, 
there is no indication that Strategy plans to sell. The company has repeatedly 
stated that it has no intention of offloading its Bitcoin and has even 
emphasized that its balance sheet could withstand a severe downturn, including 
a scenario where the Bitcoin price drops below $10,000. ETF Pressure And 
Bitcoin Cost Basis Sherlock also pointed to Spot Bitcoin ETFs as another 
source of pressure that might lead to a bull trap. As it stands, about 1.28 
million BTC are currently held in these funds, with an estimated average entry 
price between $84,000 and $90,000. Related Reading: Could A Bitcoin Price 
Crash Below $10,000 Wipe Out Strategy? Saylor Shares What To Expect Since late 
2025, these ETFs have recorded more than $6 billion in net outflows, and the 
Bitcoin price might face another pressure even if it reaches the average entry 
price. He also noted that about 63% of invested Bitcoin wealth has a cost 
basis above $88,000, meaning a large share of buyers in 2025 are sitting on 
losses, and a rally to their entry levels could also be a bull trap. 
Therefore, a climb into the $72,000 to $76,000 range could be a bull trap. If 
it doesn’t, then the next trap could be around $88,000. That said, if every 
breakeven level triggered selling, then Bitcoin might never form a bottom. At 
the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $66,980. Featured image from
