As it hovers below the 50-level, the Relative Strength Index reveals that the momentum is primarily bearish.
The view described above will become even more positive if there is one more rejection at this barrier.
However, there are times when the price of Ethereum may break through the triangle to the upside in order to collect the buy-stop liquidity that is sitting above the two separate lower lows. This action, known as a fakeout, may catch impatient traders on the wrong side.
Investors should be wary of a protracted fakeout even though the price of Ethereum is trending upward. It might lead to an upward momentum buildup, which would enable buyers to take control, if sellers do not seize the initiative and drive ETH lower.
If the price of Ethereum achieves a four-hour candlestick close over $1,340 in this scenario, the negative thesis for the smart contract token will be refuted. Such a development would provide ETH more room to grow and would allow it to close the Fair Value Gap inefficiency and reach the $1,383 mark.
