After the latest Ethereum (ETH) pullback, some analysts have pointed to a 
bearish setup that suggests the leading altcoin could see another correction 
toward its potential market bottom. Related Reading: Arthur Hayes Bets $100K 
On Hyperliquid, Says HYPE Will Beat Solana By Year‑End Ethereum Bear Setup 
Breakdown Spells Trouble On Tuesday, Ethereum saw a 5.5% intraday drop from 
its daily opening, falling below the $1,900 barrier for the first time since 
late February. Notably, the King of Altcoins broke down from its five-day 
range between $1,965-$2,035, reaching a two-month low of $1,880. Amid today’s 
broader pullback, which also sent Bitcoin (BTC) toward the $67,000 support, 
market observer Trader Tardigrade affirmed that ETH’s final correction may be 
around the corner as a key bearish pattern is “repeating perfectly.” The 
trader pointed out a breakdown from a bear flag formation on the altcoin’s 
three-day chart. The setup had been forming since the February market crash, 
with the cryptocurrency breaking out of the pattern’s lower boundary around 
mid-May, when the price lost the $2,200 area. According to the above chart, 
this is the second time this pattern has formed since the Q3 2025 highs, with 
the first setup developing between late 2025 and early 2026, and resulting in 
the Q1 2026 40% crash. More importantly, Ethereum appears to be repeating the 
same path as its correction from the Q4 2024-Q1 2025 rally. After topping in 
late 2024, the cryptocurrency printed two consecutive bear flags, followed by 
a fresh leg down, before reaching its local bottom and eventually starting a 
new bullish rally. Now, “the structure is identical. Same breakdown. Same 
setup,” which suggests that “the final dip” toward the market bottom may be 
around the corner. “Once this dip completes, we&#8217;re headed straight into the 
next explosive leg up,” the trader stated. Where Is ETH Headed? Analyst Rekt 
Capital noted that Ethereum closed the month below its multi-year uptrend for 
the second time in five months. The last time this happened, the altcoin saw a 
“limited move to the upside” but was quickly rejected from the crucial $2,400 
horizontal level. This signals that the rallies stemming from this trendline 
“are clearly weakening,” with the multi-year uptrend “likely faltering.” 
According to the analysis, ETH must hold the 2026 lows, around $1,750, or 
reclaim the uptrend to avoid a deeper correction. Similarly, Ali Martinez 
named this level a crucial support amid the recent price action. As he 
explained, Ethereum is approaching the bottom of its four-month horizontal 
channel, which is near the $1,825 level. To the analyst, “that area could 
offer a favorable risk-reward entry targeting $2,073 and $2,360, as long as 
price remains above $1,750 on a daily closing basis.” However, he has 
previously warned that since the price was rejected from the mid-zone of a 
multi-year channel and the 200-week Simple Moving Average (SMA), the altcoin 
risks a deeper correction. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Retracement Rally And 
The Resistance Level That Could End It All Therefore, if ETH sees a weekly 
close below the $1,850 area, “downside acceleration becomes highly likely,” 
with the channel structure pointing to two major downside targets, from a 
technical perspective. Martinez concluded that the initial retracement would 
see Ethereum retest the interim structural support around $1,560, while a 
deeper correction could push the price near the lower boundary of the multi- 
year range, at $1,070. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from
