“Ethereum treasury companies are still on the decline”, with BitMine being the only significant buyer, he said analyst Ted Pillows in a Monday X post, adding: “I don’t think it will continue for long.”

With the price falling, “treasury companies will soon run out of money to buy $ETH,” the analyst wrote, adding:

“Until these stocks recover, I don’t see any possibility of ETH price recovery.”

The descending triangle projects a 22% drop.

Since October 7, ETH price has been forming a descending triangle pattern on its eight-hour chart, characterized by a flat support level mixed with a sloping resistance line.

A descending triangle paper model which forms after a strong uptrend is seen as a bearish reversal indicator. As a rule, the setup is resolved when the price breaks below the flat support level and falls as much as the maximum height of the triangle.

“ETH has broken below the descending triangle pattern and is currently testing the breakout level,” he said analyst CryptoBull_360 in an X post on Monday, adding:

“If the retest of the breakout level is successful, it confirms that the downtrend will continue.”

The measured target of the triangle is $2,870, or a 22% drop from current price levels.

Adding to the downside of Ether is the SuperTrend indicator, which flashed a bearish signal when it reversed from green to red and moved above the price on Thursday.

This indicator overlays the chart while following the ETH price trend, like the moving average. It incorporates the true average range into its calculations, which helps traders identify market trends.

The most recent sell signal from this indicator came on October 7 and was followed by a 22% price drop to $3,700 from $4,750.

Pillows said the ETH price is in a “crucial support zone” around $3,700, adding that a deeper drop to $3,500 was possible if $4,000 is not recovered quickly.

As Cointelegraph reportedThe ETH/USD pair may fall to $3,350 if the support level at $3,700 is breached.
