Amid this sell-off, the ETH sellers tried to take advantage by breaking below the support trendline of the megaphone pattern. However, by the day’s end, the buyers stepped in and pushed the price higher evidenced by the daily candle printed on August 1st. Will this fake breakdown bolster buyers for a bullish recovery?

For the past two weeks, the Ethereum price has wavered sideways above the support trendline of the megaphone pattern. Amid the pattern formation, the coin price action resonates between two diverging trendlines until it gives a significant breakout from either one.
Thus, a retest to the support trendline was expected to provide strong support, but the observed long consolidation indicates the bulls need to build enough momentum. Having said that, the long-tail rejection candle in August indicates the buyers still defending the bottom support, preserving the potential of a bullish reversal.
If the buying pressure rises, an upside breakout from the immediate resistance will offer buyers a higher footing to kickstart a new recovery within the megaphone pattern. The potential upswing could lead to a rally to $2140.
Is Ethereum Poised for Extended Correction?
In case the overhead supply pressure persists, the ETH sellers may give another attempt to break down the lower trendline. For better confirmation, the potential short-sellers must wait for a daily candle closing below the trendline. The possible breakdown will prolong the correction fall to $1800.
