Despite this brief breach, ETH quickly faced rejection due to significant supply at this level, causing the price to plummet below the 100-day MA.<\/p>\n<p>This false breakout hints at a bull trap, signalling a potential period of descending consolidation correction in the short term. Ethereum is trading between the 100-day MA and the $2.5K support region, with a breakout above this resistance likely to signal a sustained bullish trend.<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ETH-D-6-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The 4-Hour Chart<\/h3>\n<p>On the 4-hour chart, Ethereum surged toward the critical resistance zone bounded by the 0.5 ($2.6K) and 0.618 ($2.7K) Fibonacci retracement levels, representing a significant barrier for buyers. A breakout above this range could lead to massive short liquidations and a further price rally. However, the recent price action indicates intense selling pressure near this area, resulting in a rejection and a halt in bullish momentum.<\/p>\n<p>If this selling pressure persists, Ethereum will likely enter a period of mid-term consolidation correction, targeting the lower boundary of the flag pattern around the $2.4K threshold. Conversely, if buying pressure resurges and the price breaks through the $2.7K resistance, the next target will likely be the $3K substantial resistance, which also coincides with the 200-day moving average.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/ETH-4H-7-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Onchain Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/shayan-navabi-522107248\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shayan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Estimated Leverage Ratio is an essential metric for gauging the risk participants in the futures market are willing to take by using leverage. A rising ELR typically signals an increase in leveraged positions, which can amplify market moves in either direction.<\/p>\n<p>The metric has increased over the last few months, coinciding with an overall price downtrend. This suggests that more traders are opening high-leverage short positions, betting on further price declines for Ethereum. The market appears bearish on ETH\u2019s upcoming prospects, with many expecting further downside.<\/p>\n<p>With leverage at concerning levels, the futures market is now considered overheated. This leaves Ethereum vulnerable to a potential short-squeeze event.<\/p>\n<p>In such a scenario, if ETH rises unexpectedly, traders with short positions could be forced to cover their positions by buying back ETH, creating an impulsive price spike. The 100-day moving average at $2.7K is a key resistance level. A breakout above this level would likely lead to massive short liquidations, increasing ETH\u2019s price.<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Ethereum-Estimated-Leverage-Ratio-All-Exchanges-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-price-analysis-eths-rejection-at-2-7k-could-spell-further-trouble\/\">Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH\u2019s Rejection at $2.7K Could Spell Further Trouble<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum\u2019s recent rejection at the key resistance region of the 100-day MA level suggests a false breakout and a potential short-term correction.
