Ethereum Sell Signal That Last Preceded A 63% Drop Flashes Again

Ethereum has seen a Tom Demark (TD) Sequential sell signal on its weekly chart, something that last led to a major drawdown for the asset. Ethereum Has Seen A TD Sequential Sell Signal In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted a TD Sequential signal that has emerged on the 1-week price of Ethereum. The TD Sequential is an indicator from technical analysis (TA) that’s usually used for spotting trend reversals in an asset’s price.

In the context of the current discussion, the former phase is the one of interest. During the setup, the TD Sequential counts up candles of the same color until the number hits nine. Once the nine candles are in, the indicator signals the exhaustion of the prevailing trend. Below is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the TD Sequential setup that has appeared on the weekly Ethereum price. As is visible in the graph, the TD Sequential has seen a setup complete with nine green candles recently, a potential sign that the bullish trend may be about to reverse for ETH. According to the analyst, the indicator has generally been reliable for ETH during the past year. “Every signal it has flashed on the weekly timeframe has been validated by significant price action,” noted Martinez. In April and June of last year, the indicator flashed buy signals that led into price surges of 86% and 134%, respectively. Similarly, the August sell signal resulted in a drawdown of 63%. Given that Ethereum has just once again seen a TD Sequential sell signal on the weekly, the pattern could follow this time as well. “To me, this suggests Ethereum is entering another corrective phase,” said the analyst. Martinez has given three targets for ETH for various timeframes: $1,900 in the short-term, $1,595 in the mid-term, and $1,090 in the long-term. The last of these levels also happens to be located around the bottom level of a Parallel Channel, as the analyst has pointed out in another X post. The Parallel Channel is a TA pattern that forms whenever an asset trades between two parallel trendlines. The upper line acts as a source of resistance, while the lower one that of support.

From the below chart, it’s apparent that Ethereum has recently been trading in the lower half of a long-term Parallel Channel on the weekly timeframe. “$1,071, at the bottom of the channel, looks like a strong area to buy Ethereum $ETH,” noted Martinez. It now remains to be seen whether the asset will have to rely on this support level. ETH Price Ethereum has gone down this week as its price is now trading around $2,220.
