ETHUSDT Breakdown Below 2,600

ETHUSDT Breakdown Below 2,600: Hot-Air Balloon Deflates — Oct 10

Yesterday's 2682-2710 HOLD died on contact: ETHUSDT sliced through the 2640 bear floor, tagged 2405.79, and the hot-air balloon — weekly StochRSI pinned above 98 on negative intraday CMF — finally deflated. Every intraday and daily frame now prints a confirmed downtrend, with only the weekly still holding the bull line at +9.36 CMF. We lean SHORT into the 2405-2440 retest while sizing down 20-30%, and we respect 2324 if the weekly bulls regroup. #ETHUSDT #Ethereum #TechnicalAnalysis #CryptoTrading #MacroAnalysis #EthereumPriceAnalysis #EthereumPricePrediction #ETHUSDTMarketAnalysis

Yesterday our analysis held ETHUSDT as a HOLD in a tight 2682-2710 consolidation and set a conditional long on a 2683 support retest. Both calls came up as a miss. Within 24 hours price broke below the bear floor of 2640, closed 10-07 at 2572.81, and on 10-08 slammed to a low of 2405.79 before stabilizing near 2489. The hot-air-balloon rule we keep repeating was the tell: weekly StochRSI was pinned above 98 and intraday CMF was already negative across 2H/4H/6H — distribution, not accumulation. The bullish macro frame we respected was overridden by that distribution signal.

Today the picture is decisively bearish on the intraday and daily frames. Price sits below every moving average on 2H/4H/6H, the daily MACD has fully crossed negative (line 13.5 under signal 49.2, histogram -35.7), and ADX is strong at 46 on 2H, 57 on 4H, 53 on 6H, and 33 on the daily — confirming the downtrend is real, not noise. CMF is negative on every frame except the weekly, which is the one bullish holdout still showing positive money flow at 9.36. RSI is washed out on the daily at 39 with StochRSI deeply oversold at 2, so a short-term bounce is possible, but the 4H StochRSI is already overbought at 89, meaning any rebound is likely to fade.

For the next 24 hours we lean SHORT, expecting the 2489-2520 consolidation to give way toward a retest of the 2405-2440 zone, with the bear band at 2405-2440 and the bull band capped at 2520-2560. For 48 hours the target extends toward 2280-2405 if the weekly ma_90 at 2675 continues to act as overhead resistance.

We sized down, trimmed exposure, and wait for confirmation. The weekly structure is still broadly bullish, so we respect that support could return at the 2324 recent low.
