Ethereum faces a growing risk of further declines after falling below the lower boundary of a key ascending channel, CryptoPotato reported. The outlet said ETH has remained in a downtrend since facing resistance near $2,800 in September and recently broke below $2,400, the lower end of its daily ascending channel. The $2,300-$2,350 support zone is also under pressure, leaving ETH vulnerable to declines toward the next major support levels at $2,160 and $2,000. On the four-hour chart, a break below $2,250 could accelerate the drop toward $1,900, according to the report. On the other hand, if ETH recovers $2,500, the bearish setup would be invalidated and ETH could attempt to break back above $2,800. CryptoQuant data shows the aggressive buy-sell ratio in the ETH futures market is currently around 0.973, the lowest level since June, indicating selling pressure is dominant in futures trading.
