Ethereum's price dropped below $2,950 on December 30, breaching a significant bullish defense level. This movement formed a bearish inverted hammer candle on the daily chart, accompanied by rising trading volume. The Average Directional Index (ADX) has fallen below 25, indicating a neutral trend, suggesting potential consolidation until a decisive breakout occurs. The $2,860–$2,920 support zone has been resilient for over 10 days. A break below $2,860 could signal a bearish trend, while resistance at $3,050 remains critical. A two-day close above this resistance would confirm a reversal, potentially shifting the trend upwards.
