Ethereum Faces Additional Downside: Technicals Signal A Breakdown Below $2500

Daily Trend: ETH experienced a robust uptrend from early April to early June, peaking around $2825 (June 10-11), followed by a sharp correction to the $2200s (June 21–22). More recently, ETH staged a moderate rebound to $2600-2700, but failed to retest the recent highs, suggesting trend exhaustion and the emergence of a lower-high pattern.
Current Structure: Price currently sits at $2532.7, after failing to sustain above $2600 (July 3–6) and selling off in the past 24 hours. Price action forms a clear lower high and signals possible short-term bearish transition.

Volume has been declining since the June rebound, and this most recent retracement from $2600+ to $2530s happened on average or declining volume — indicating weakening buying interest and poor follow-through on attempted rallies.
The hourly chart reveals minor buying attempts above $2570, met with strong resistance and follow-up selling (notably 18:00–20:00 UTC July 7).

Recent Hourly: Small-bodied candles, lower highs, and extended lower wicks suggest buyers are attempting to support price but are being overpowered by persistent, yet controlled, selling pressure.
Daily: Large upper wicks in early July denote rejection around $2600+; today's candle opened and quickly retraced most gains, further establishing $2570–2580 as resistance.

20/50 Hourly EMA: Price broke and is holding below these, with the 20-EMA acting as capping resistance ($2540–2550). The crossover confirms short-term bearish bias.
200-Hour SMA: Sits around $2550, currently acting as resistance zone.
Daily 50/100 SMA: These were likely broken during June’s drop and are now above price, further reinforcing upside barriers.

RSI (4H/1H): Estimated in the 38–45 region, consistent with pullback territory but with no bullish divergence apparent. Not yet oversold, suggesting further downside room.
MACD: Daily and 4H lines curling downward, with negative histogram, confirming loss of bullish momentum and a growing bearish cross.

ATR: Short-term ATR is elevated, reflecting high intraday ranges. After a period of contraction, volatility appears to have returned with a bearish bias.

Pattern: There is an emerging Head-and-Shoulders-like formation in the 4H/1D timeframe, neckline around $2520–2500. If this breaks, measured move targets $2450–2430 region.
Fib Retracement (Jun low to Jun high): Current price ($2530) is below 38.2%, next logical retracement levels are 50% ($2500) and 61.8% ($2410), matching major support regions identified above.

No visible aggressive bidding on the way down; spot demand thinning. OI/derivative metrics (if included) would likely show reduction in long leverage.

Trend Analysis and Moving Averages point to short-term bearish pressure and a failed bullish narrative.
Horizontal S/R, Volume Profile, and Price Action indicate strong resistance just above and weak support below.
Momentum Oscillators confirm buyers' exhaustion with more downside possible.
Head-and-Shoulders formation increases probability of further breakdown if $2520–2500 loses support in coming hours.
Fibonacci/ATR reinforce $2410–2500 as key support target area.

Likely price action: Weak bounces may occur towards $2540–2550 but expect sellers to cap attempts. A breakdown through $2520 opens up $2500 and $2450 as next downside targets over 24 hours.
Risk: Short-term volatility spikes possible, but trend and order flow align with a high probability bearish move.

Sell (Short Position) is favored for the next 24 hours.
Optimal entry is around $2533–2540 (current market price, possibly with a small limit order on a minor bounce).
Downside targets: $2450–2470 (take profit zone), with stop recommended above $2555 (invalidation zone).
