Ethereum - Correction of the downtrend is due to end
Ethereum has been trading sideways since 13th May 2022; we believe that the flat price action indicates a downtrend correction, which aligns with the price retracement toward its 20-day simple moving average. Our view is also supported by declining volume across hourly and daily time frames. Fundamental factors also point to more downside as more hiking in the U.S. and economic tightening are set to worsen market conditions. As a result, we expect the stock market to drag risk assets lower, which applies to Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies. We forecast an eventual breakdown of ETHUSD and new lows to be formed. At the moment, we would like to set new price targets for ETHUSD at 1900 USD and 1800 USD.

Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are pointing upwards, which is bullish. However, MACD remains in the bearish zone. Additionally, we expect the eventual failure of RSI and Stochastic to move higher. DM+ and DM- continue to show bearish conditions in the market. The ADX shows a recent drop, which is reflected in the current correction. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD, Stochastic, DM+, and DM- are all bearish. The ADX increases, which hints at a strenghtening bearish trend of a higher degree. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.
