Analysts eye inverse head and shoulders ETH pattern

Donald Dean identified an inverse head and shoulders formation on Ethereum’s chart with a price target of $4,955.90. “Price recently launched higher from the volume shelf and is moving to the $3,300 volume shelf for a potential launch area,” Dean wrote on X.

The analyst pointed to the technical pattern suggesting bullish continuation after ETH completes the formation. The $4,955.90 target would be a roughly 57% gain from current levels.

Ted highlighted liquidity clusters at key price levels. “Ethereum has a big liquidity cluster at the $3,000 level. On the upside, there are liquidity clusters at the $3,150 and $3,250 levels,” Ted posted on X.

The analyst suggested ETH could sweep downside liquidity at $3,000 before reversing higher, similar to Bitcoin’s recent price action. The $3,150 and $3,250 levels are near-term resistance zones where limit orders have accumulated.
