Inverse Head And Shoulders Pattern Intact For ETH
Yesterday, we discussed a possible inverse head and shoulders pattern with support near the $162 area. ETH price remained well bid above the $162 support, which means the pattern is still intact.
To invalidate the pattern, Ethereum bears need to push the price below the $162 support. The next key support is near the $158 level. Any further losses below $158 might spark a strong downward move.
Overall, ETH remains in an uptrend and it could rise above $170 and $180 in the near term unless there is a break below $158.
