Ethereum Faces Key Test at $2,020 Amid Head and Shoulders Pattern
Ethereum (ETH) is confronting a critical technical level at $2,020, as a head and shoulders pattern emerges on its chart. This formation, often seen as a bearish indicator, suggests potential downside if the neckline at $2,020 fails to hold. However, Ethereum has shown resilience, surging nearly 10% to $2,073 on February 7, 2026, indicating strong buying pressure.
Prominent trader Crypto Tony highlighted this pattern, noting the importance of a decisive close above the right shoulder at $2,080–$2,100 to invalidate the bearish outlook. Despite the technical concerns, Ethereum's fundamentals, including its dominance in DeFi and NFTs, continue to provide support. As of now, ETH's market cap exceeds $250 billion, with trading volumes surpassing $54 billion in the last 24 hours. Traders are closely watching for a break above $2,100 to confirm bullish momentum or a drop below the neckline for further bearish action.
