ETH Bearish Compression: Why the $3,040 Ceiling Defines the Next Major Move – 2025 12 24
What a difference forty-eight hours makes in the crypto markets. Just two days ago, we were tracking a hopeful relief rally that briefly pushed Ethereum above the psychological 3,000 level, but today we find ourselves back in the trenches of a bearish compression structure. Comparing today’s price action to our previous analysis, the market has strictly respected the "Trap Zone" we identified. The rejection at 3,060 on Monday wasn't just a random fluctuation; it was a structural failure that has now trapped late longs and forced price back into a tightly wound range around 2,925. The relief rally has effectively been erased, and the short-term trend has realigned with the dominant daily and weekly downtrends.
