Ethereum is attempting to rebound after recent selling pressure, but the recovery so far lacks the strength needed to confirm a lasting bottom. With momentum appearing corrective rather than impulsive and key resistance<\/a> levels still intact, downside risk remains on the table unless buyers can deliver a decisive structural shift.<\/p>\n

No Impulsive Break, No Bullish Confirmation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to<\/a> a recent Ethereum<\/a> update by More Crypto Online, the downside scenario remains valid unless price delivers a clear impulsive five-wave advance or decisively breaks above the weekend high. The bounce from last week\u2019s low currently appears corrective rather than impulsive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Momentum<\/a> has been limited, and the structure does not yet suggest that a sustainable bottom has formed. So far, there is no clear technical evidence that a durable reversal is underway.<\/p>\n

\"Ethereum\"<\/p>\n

However, Ethereum is trading within a technically significant zone. Following the recent liquidation<\/a> flush, markets have become more reactive, making it important to stay alert for potential reversal signals that could shift the short-term outlook.<\/p>\n

For now, confirmation is still lacking. Until a stronger structural shift appears, close monitoring of the lower-timeframe micro structure<\/a> remains essential to determine whether Ethereum builds strength or resumes its downward trajectory.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Attempts Recovery After Sunday Selloff<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ethereum is attempting to stabilize after the sharp Sunday selloff, showing early signs of recovery. In his latest analysis, Lennaert Snyder noted<\/a> that, similar to Bitcoin, ETH printed relatively weak weekend extremes around $1,929 on the low and $2,107 on the high. These levels now serve as key liquidity reference points for the week ahead.<\/p>\n

Snyder\u2019s broader plan anticipates a push toward higher prices, but he prefers to see nearby liquidity pools mitigated before considering quality long positions. With the higher-timeframe trend still pointing downward, short setups remain valid if the right structure presents itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For long entries, he wants to see a sweep of the $1,946 and\/or $1,929 lows, as both represent weak pivots, ideally including a full sweep of the weekend low. Such a move could provide the liquidity grab needed for a high-probability reversal back toward the weekend high. However, if price rallies directly from current levels and leaves those lows untouched, he would instead look for short opportunities following a market<\/a> structure break (MSB) near the $2,107 high.<\/p>\n

Additionally, H1 liquidity sits around $2,015, offering potential scalp setups depending on whether the price gains acceptance above it or rejects it sharply. Longs would be considered on a clean reclaim, while failure after a sweep could favor shorts. With it being a bank holiday, no trades are being placed today, and the outlined plan remains intact unless price action invalidates it.<\/p>\n
