Legendary trader Peter Brandt has recently updated his analysis of the Ethereum price chart, pointing out a concerning pattern. Brandt has identified a head-and-shoulders top formation, a bearish indicator that suggests a potential price decrease. This pattern typically marks a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend, leading to a substantial price drop. Despite recognizing this bearish signal, Brandt clarified that he does not engage in shorting cryptocurrencies, differing from his recent decision to short Ethereum futures. Instead, he emphasized his avoidance of shorting the spot market due to counterparty risk, opting for stop-loss orders to manage risk. Brandt's current cautionary stance contrasts with the ongoing rise in ETH price, currently at $3,500, significantly higher than its value a month ago at under $2,900. The head and shoulders pattern highlighted by Brandt serves as a potential warning for traders and investors, indicating a possible downturn in Ethereum's price. However, the market's unpredictable nature presents a complex scenario where traditional patterns and market sentiment may not align.
