On the 4-hour chart, it was observed that a prominent descending triangle pattern was taking shape. The price movement of ETH adhered to the pattern’s line and an expected bearish breakout was recorded on 14 August. The price took a hit and the valuation dropped down to $181.44. The long-term support of $207.45 had turned into major resistance in the charts.
Now, at press time, Ethereum’s ardent followers can afford to be optimistic about an impending price pump as a prominent descending channel was transpiring in the market. The lowers highs formed in the pattern bounced off the trend line a few times and the decreasing volume conform to the validity of the pattern. An impending bullish breakout could rally the price to retest the resistance at $195.07 and further momentum may assist Ethereum in breaching the $200 mark.
