• The Ethereum price is at risk of giving back the large gains from December 2018 – January 2019.
  • Saturday’s daily candlestick closure produced a bearish gravestone doji.

The Ethereum price has continued to be a victim of narrowing trading, however signs are starting to show of the bears readying to regain full control. ETH/USD has been stuck within consolidation mode since 11th January, which has very much been observed across the crypto market. Over the last six sessions however, the range has tightened up even further. This type of behavior signals that an explosive breakout is near. Odds appear to be stacked in favor of the market bears for the next move.

At the close of Saturday’s close, a bearish gravestone doji was produced. Going by the textbook, this typically suggests another drop is imminent. Another deep drop wouldn’t be too surprising, given the hard fall earlier in the month. A fast period of aggressive market selling is usually followed by some range-movement, which its way of having a cooling off period. The pickup in downside momentum, after such a development, this time with greater intensity, is something that could very well be seen.
