Ethereum is currently recovering from a dramatic 20.68% sell-off just 24-hours after it formed a new all-time high of $2,645.
At the time of writing the world’s second largest cryptocurrency is trading at $2,262 after bouncing by more than 8% from its overnight lows.
The sell-off was reflected across the wider cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin slumping below $50,000 for the first time since March 7 as speculators begin to question whether the bull market has come to its conclusion.
It’s worth noting that while Bitcoin has formed a series of lower highs followed by a lower low, Ethereum remains in a bullish posture having bounced at $2,134 to keep its structure intact.
This could mean that altcoins like Ethereum may continue to perform well over the coming weeks despite a potential drop in the price of Bitcoin, similar to “alt season” played out in January, 2018.
From a technical perspective, Ethereum needs to hold above the previous higher low at $2,065, as well as the daily 200 exponential moving average which is coming in at around $2,100.
Failure to to do this would bring around price targets as low as $1,930 and even $1,805, although it depends on Bitcoin’s desire to bounce in the mid $40,000 region.
