Ethereum (ETH) left its short-term investors fairly dissatisfied after failing to uphold the marks of its Point of Control (POC, red) at $3,000. The ripples of the broader selling sentiment pulled the alt to its $2,700 baseline.
With price retesting its 15-month trendline support, ETH would likely see itself sailing toward the $2,900-mark before any trend-altering move. At press time, ETH was trading at $2,763.9, down by 2.2% in the last 24 hours.

The evening star candlestick setup bogged down ETH’s revival towards its early April highs. Due to this, the alt remained restricted below the $3,500 level.
Now, ETH attempted to break the red candle streak formed in the last two days as the selling pressure eased towards its immediate trendline support (yellow, dashed). Historically, the buyers have defended this bullish trendline support for over 15 months.
The current falling wedge (white) devaluation has spiraled the selling edge while the EMA ribbons take on a bearish flip on the daily timeframe. With the rising gap between moving average lines, the bears displayed their increasing dominance in the near term. Also, considering the sturdiness of the 200 EMA resistance (green), the sellers refrained from giving up their control over the long-term trend.
The conflux between the horizontal and the trendline support could propel a short-term recovery toward the upper trendline of the wedge. A patterned breakout could position ETH to retest its POC and gather thrust to overturn its EMA ribbons.
