On the daily chart, Ethereum (ETH) price has lost 55% from its all-time high of $4,867.81. Ether recorded its biggest one-day drop on January 21 after the December 3 fall. The pair fell close to 18% and tested the lower trendline of the descending price channel.

However, after three weeks of consolidation, Ether once again challenged the psychological $3K level. An acceptance above this level could result in another lead in the pair.
The bullish momentum pushed the momentum indicator, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) holds in the oversold zone with a bullish crossover. A further rise in the MACD could trigger a 16% rise in the near term.
Next, a daily close above the upper trendline of the descending channel will result in it hitting $42.00.
Alternatively, the double top formation would invalidate a bearish reversal pattern near current levels. The interim support can be found at $2,500.
