For Ethereum, the fundamentals remain positive even though the price has been strongly bearish. The on-chain data on Ether holders is encouraging and the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade is eagerly awaited.
On the charts, traders seem to view every higher timeframe bounce as a selling opportunity. Former support levels and demand zones have consistently been flipped to resistance and supply areas. This could see Ethereum head back towards the $2800-area.
However, if that area fails to stop the bleeding too, buyers would get a steep discount as Ethereum would likely continue to descend with $2300 a possible target for bears.

The $4000-area, the $3800-area, and more recently, the $3300-area have all been areas of demand in the run to $4800. However, the retracement from those highs has seen these areas flip from demand to supply, and have also been retested to give late longs a chance to close their positions. This also presented opportunities to open short positions on ETH.
The golden pocket refers to the 61.8% to 78.6% retracement area of the Fibonacci retracement levels (yellow). This pocket is generally a place where the pullback ends and the next run upward (or down, depending on the previous trend) can be initiated.
The 70.7% retracement level coincided closely with a level of support at $2630.
For longer-term investors, this golden pocket can be an area where they can look to buy Ether. More risk-averse investors can wait for the trend to reverse before entering the market.
