Ethereum price started a recovery wave above $2,000. ETH is now consolidating 
and remain at risk of another decline below $1,980. Ethereum struggled to 
extend gains above $2,120 and corrected lower. The price is trading below 
$2,050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a contracting 
triangle forming with resistance at $2,040 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD 
(data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh decline if it stays below 
the $2,120 zone. Ethereum Price Dips Again Ethereum price managed to form a 
base above $1,950 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin. ETH price traded 
above the $1,980 and $2,020 resistance levels. The pair even spiked above 
$2,140. A high was formed at $2,168, and the price is now moving lower. There 
was a drop below $2,050. The price tested the 38.2% Fib retracement level of 
the upward move from the $1,745 swing low to the $2,168 high. Ethereum price 
is now trading below $2,050 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the 
bulls remain in action above $2,000, the price could attempt another increase. 
Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,050 level. There is also a 
contracting triangle forming with resistance at $2,040 on the hourly chart of 
ETH/USD. The first key resistance is near the $2,065 level. The next major 
resistance is near the $2,120 level. A clear move above the $2,120 resistance 
might send the price toward the $2,165 resistance. An upside break above the 
$2,165 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated 
case, Ether could rise toward the $2,250 resistance zone or even $2,280 in the 
near term. Another Drop In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,065 
resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is 
near the $2,000 level. The first major support sits near the $1,950 zone or 
the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,745 swing low to 
the $2,168 high. A clear move below the $1,950 support might push the price 
toward the $1,900 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the 
$1,850 region. The main support could be $1,820. Technical Indicators Hourly

Goldman Sachs discloses first XRP and Solana ETF holdings valued at $260M

Bitcoin’s latest drawdown from its all-time high is being compared to 2022 
across crypto Twitter (the similarities are obvious), but some technicians 
argue the similarity is mostly superficial. In a series of posts, TexasWest 
Capital CEO Christopher Inks said the current move looks like a completed 
five-wave decline tied to a positioning washout, not the kind of structurally 
driven breakdown that defined the 2022 unwind. Bitcoin Vs. 2022: Similar 
Chart, Different Story? Inks’ core claim is about where the market sits in the 
broader pattern. “One of the differences between the current drop off the ATH 
and the 2022 drop of ATH is that we just appear to have completed 5 waves 
down,” he wrote. “Back then the same area everyone is referencing had already 
completed five down, the three wave correction, and then broken down further.”

The Level To Defend On his weekly BTCUSD chart, Inks annotated what he sees as 
a five-wave decline into early 2026, followed by sideways consolidation around 
a “weekly pivot,” after what he described as a sharp recovery late last week. 
The implication is less about calling a definitive bottom and more about 
sequencing: if the five-wave leg is complete, the next phase is typically 
corrective or base-building rather than an immediate continuation lower. Inks 
also separated the catalysts. The 2022 breakdown coincided with the TerraUSD 
depeg and ensuing market dislocation, a reflexive shock that tightened 
collateral and impaired liquidity across venues. By contrast, he framed last 
week’s selling as risk reduction rather than crisis fallout. “Another 
difference between the two periods is that the former coincided with the 
TerraUSDT depeg and break down which was a market structural event that was 
the catalyst for the Bitcoin breakdown at that time,” Inks wrote. “As I&#8217;ve 
been mentioning, last week&#8217;s breakdown was a degrossing (risk-off position 
reduction). These are two wholly different market moves.” “Does this guarantee 
that the low is in? Of course not, but if you&#8217;re comparing two events then you 
should compare how they occurred and not just that the price action looks 
kinda similar,” he added. “That way, if price does something other than what 
it did last time you won&#8217;t be running around in disbelief screaming 
‘manipulation’ and ‘what&#8217;s going on!’” Related Reading: Retail Dumps, Bitcoin 
Inflows Surge: On-Chain Data Flags Capitulation Inks said Bitcoin failed to 
reclaim a weekly close back inside the prior range around $75,000, leaving 
open the possibility that the selloff was a “terminal shakeout” rather than 
the start of a deeper trend. His roadmap, however, was explicitly time-based: 
he wants to see the low hold for “the next 2–3 weeks” with “declining volumes 
on the pullbacks,” plus a higher low on the weekly timeframe and “compression 
below resistance instead of rejection.” He also tied the move to rates 
positioning. Inks pointed to a two-year Treasury note futures chart that, in 
his view, remained coiled rather than breaking higher alongside the risk-off 
episode, another data point supporting the idea that last week’s selling was 
“pre-resolution positioning rather than post-crisis fallout.” With regards to 
the lower timeframes (1-hour chart), Inks urged for patience: “Bitcoin 
continues to consolidate sideways around the weekly pivot, within the range 
shown. Not surprising after Friday&#8217;s strong recovery. Takes time to build 
confidence after something like that. And if you are hoping the low is in, 
then that&#8217;s what you should prefer to see rather than continued move straight 
up without building bases to provide support on pullbacks.” At press time, BTC 
traded at $68,639. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from

Bitcoin price started a recovery wave above $68,500. BTC is now struggling to 
clear $72,000 and might start another decline in the near term. Bitcoin is 
attempting to recover but is facing many hurdles near $72,000. The price is 
trading below $70,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is a 
short-term bearish trend line forming with resistance at $69,200 on the hourly 
chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might dip again if 
it trades below the $68,000 and $67,700 levels. Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance 
Bitcoin price managed to remain stable above the $66,500 zone. BTC started a 
recovery wave and was able to climb above the $68,000 resistance zone. The 
price surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 
$78,988 swing high to the $60,500 low. However, the bears seem to be active 
near the $72,200 and $72,500 levels. Besides, there is a short-term bearish 
trend line forming with resistance at $69,200 on the hourly chart of the 
BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading below $70,000 and the 100 hourly simple 
moving average. If the price remains stable above $68,000, it could attempt a 
fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $69,200 level and the trend 
line. The first key resistance is near the $71,000 level. A close above the 
$71,000 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, 
the price could rise and test the $72,000 resistance or the 61.8% Fib 
retracement level of the downward move from the $78,988 swing high to the 
$60,500 low. Any more gains might send the price toward the $73,500 level. The 
next barrier for the bulls could be $74,000 and $74,500. Another Decline In

start another decline. Immediate support is near the $68,000 level. The first 
major support is near the $67,650 level. The next support is now near the 
$65,500 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $65,000 support 
in the near term. The main support now sits at $63,200, below which BTC might 
struggle to recover in the near term. Technical indicators: Hourly MACD – The 
MACD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength
