Ethereum could drop to $3,000 for three good reasons

This image is no longer relevant

Ethereum may continue its downward movement and fall as low as $3,000, and there are three reasons for this. The main altcoin hit its all-time high last month, and has dropped nearly 20% in a few weeks due to the market crash.

At the moment, Ethereum is holding at the turn of $4,000, and this is the most important support level, but there are already concerns that this support level will be broken soon. Ethereum will begin its impulse fall, which will be facilitated by further sales and panic in the market.

Bearish divergence

At the moment, the situation of interception of the initiative by bears can be observed on the market. Bitcoin fell by almost 30% in a month, and then the entire altcoin market turned out to be in bearish gloves. Many analysts predicted the glory of the hedge asset to the ether in relation to the price of bitcoin. However, according to many forecasts, the market will experience a bearish winter and the fall of Ethereum will continue.

The Fed

This week's two-day meeting will discuss the U.S. Central Bank's cut of more than $120 billion in asset purchases per month to increase solvency and flexibility.

This could serve as a negative wake-up call for Ethereum. The Fed said in November that spending on bond purchases would be cut by $15 billion a month, and the final stimulus would end in the summer of 2022.

This meeting of the Federal Reserve System may negatively affect the price of Ethereum. In March 2020, the Fed's monetary policy contributed to an increase in the price of ether by more than 3,000 percent, now we can observe a diametrically opposite situation and a fall in the price of the main altcoin.

Also, at Tuesday's meeting, the Fed will briefly announce its economic forecasts for 2022 and will give its forecast for the formation of cryptocurrencies next year.

Bearish pattern

At the moment, we can observe a situation where Ethereum should exit the ascending wedge - this is a bearish pattern that can be observed when the price of an asset goes up, and two ascending trend lines become the catalysts for this. If the Ethereum price is near the top of the wedge, then the asset may sink and break through the milestone below the lower line of the pattern. This may mean that Ethereum will correct and go down, and this will be an impulse signal of large price losses.
