Technical Analysis Shows ETH Price May Plummet to $1k A closer inspection of Ethereum’s weekly chart shows an increasing risk that the coin will continue falling soon. That’s because it formed a triple-top pattern between March 11 and December 16 last year. This pattern is made up of three peaks and a neckline. In this case, the peaks were at $4,045, while the neckline was at $2,130. It has now plunged below the neckline, validating the bearish thesis. At the same time, the Average Directional Index (ADX), a popular indicator that measures the strength of a trend, has soared to 30, a sign that the trend is strengthening. Therefore, measuring the distance between the top and the neckline shows that it is about 50%. A similar measurement from the neckline shows that it may crash to $1,000, which is about 42% below the current level.
