Ethereum fakeout risks after 40% ETH price 😵.

Ether price could drop by 45% because its ascending triangle breakout looks unconvincing so far.

Ethereum's native token Ether (ETH) saw a modest pullback on July 17 after ramming into a critical technical resistance confluence.

ETH's price dropped by 1.8% to $1,328 after struggling to move above two strong resistance levels: the 50-day exponential moving average (5-day EMA; the red wave) and a descending trendline (black) serving as a price ceiling since May.

Previously, Etherrallied by over 40% from $1,000 on July 13 to over $1,400 on July 16. The jump appeared partly due to euphoria surrounding "the Merge" slated for September.

Meanwhile, a golden cross's appearance on Ethereum's four-hour chart also boosted Ether's upside sentiment among technical analysts.

• ETH price risks fakeout

Ether's 40%-plus price rally since July 13 also had its price break above a critical horizontal resistance that somewhat constitutes an "ascending triangle pattern."

Ascending triangles are typically continuation patterns. But in some cases, ascending triangles can also appear at the end of a downtrend, thus leading to a bullish reversal.

"A break above $1,284 should send prices flying, as there's almost no resistance until the $1,700s."

Ether has already broken above $1,284 and is in a breakout zone. Nonetheless, its close above the ascending triangle's upper trendline has not accompanied a rise in trading volumes. That suggests a weakening upside momentum, i.e., a fakeout.

Therefore, ETH's price risks a reversal toward the triangle's upper trendline near $1,284 as support. The ETH/USD pair could retain its bullish bias if it rebounds from $1,284 with convincing volumes and breaks above the resistance confluence as discussed above.

Conversely, a break below $1,284 would risk re-activating the ascending triangle setup with a bias skewed toward bears. As a result, ETH would risk crashing to $750, according to a rule of technical analysis as illustrated below.
