Dow Theory
According to Dow Theory, Ethereum’s price is in the panic phase. In this phase, distressed selling is seen from those who believe that the worst is yet to come or are forced to liquidate. This phase is followed by the accumulation phase where informed investors start to take long positions.
Bollinger Bands
The cryptocurrency price is moving between the channels with the lower channel limit acting as support and the middle average line acting as resistance.
It can be seen that the channel is expanding with the negative momentum. This indicates an increased volatility with negative sentiments, so the ETH price may fall further until it closes above the middle average line.
