<a href="https://jpykr.com/eth-usd/">ETH</a> Bear Flag Confirmed: 47% Downside Target at $1,075 as Altcoins Flash Warnings

Ethereum has formed a bearish pattern, suggesting a potential price drop to around $1,075. Bitcoin has fallen below $74,243, and many other cryptocurrencies are also showing strong signs of decline.

Bitcoin’s price dropped nearly 2% on Wednesday, reaching a low of $74,243.99. While this was a dip, it didn’t fall as low as the price briefly went on Saturday ($74,289). Crypto analyst MooninPapa, posting on X, described this price movement as a break below a key support level, and predicts the next significant price point to watch is $71,474.

According to MooninPapa’s analysis, Bitcoin’s on-balance volume indicator suggests we’ve reached a peak, like the top of a roller coaster. The long trade signal closed on Tuesday, and the indicator has now crossed downward. A short-term price increase is possible, but its significance remains to be seen.

The Ethereum Chart Nobody Wants to Look At

Ethereum (ETH) recently fell below a key support level that it had maintained since early February, with multiple tests throughout May. It closed lower again on Wednesday, briefly touching that same level as resistance before falling back down. A trader named MooninPapa on X believes this downward movement confirms a ‘bear flag’ pattern, suggesting further price declines are likely.

In my analysis, I observed a pattern indicating a potential downside for Ethereum, with a target price around $1,075. Considering the price was approximately $2,026 at the time, this represents a significant potential drop of about 47%. Adding to this, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Ethereum fell below 25 on Wednesday, registering at 24.87, which often suggests oversold conditions.

Traders shouldn’t assume the recent price drop means the selling is over. One analyst highlighted that Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) briefly hit 11.49 on February 5th. If the selling pressure drops to that level again, he believes it would be a strong indication to buy. However, that hasn’t happened yet, and the trading volume continues to fluctuate significantly.

Total Market Cap Cracking, Stablecoin Squeeze Building

TOTALES, a measure of the crypto market excluding stablecoins, fell below $2.19 trillion and briefly dropped to $2.17 trillion on the same day. A recovery around $2.16 trillion would be a positive sign. However, according to MooninPapa, falling below that level would likely confirm a continued downward trend rather than a reversal.

The combined market share of the two leading stablecoins, USDT and USDC, reached 10.79% on Wednesday. While this is close to the peak of 10.828% seen on Saturday, the overall trend remains the same. Currently, the range of potential price movement for stablecoin dominance is very narrow – the tightest it’s been in weeks. This often signals a significant price change is coming soon.

As a researcher, I’ve been closely watching stablecoin market dynamics, and I’ve noticed something many traders seem to be overlooking: a Bollinger Band-like compression forming within the stablecoin dominance chart. This compression suggests a potential breakout, and interestingly, we saw a long position open on Wednesday for all stablecoins combined. Based on my analysis, this signals further downside potential – in other words, I anticipate more price drops in the near future.

Bitcoin Dominance Signal Is Quietly Warning About Altcoins

Bitcoin’s dominance recently showed a bearish signal, closing with a ‘thunderbolt bottom’ pattern on Wednesday. This can be misleading for those who own other cryptocurrencies (altcoins), as a drop in Bitcoin’s dominance often makes altcoins *appear* stronger. However, the overall situation is usually more complex than it seems.

If Bitcoin’s share of the crypto market rises above 60.60%, other cryptocurrencies (altcoins) are likely to experience significant price drops. The chart tracking these other coins shows bearish patterns over the past few days, and its strength indicator has been consistently declining since May 8th, suggesting a weakening trend.

The TOTAL100 chart recently showed a significant four-hour price drop, the first since March 2026. According to a post by MooninPapa on X, a detailed explanation of this breakdown can be found in a YouTube video. The video highlights that Tuesday’s close was below a key technical level, Wednesday saw a new low price, and the RSI indicator is predicted to fall sharply below 25.

Individual Names: What the Charts Are Saying Right Now

RAIN continued its rapid increase on Wednesday, jumping another 25% after a 43% surge the previous day. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI) reached 97.43, a very high level rarely exceeded. According to MooninPapa, this suggests the price may be overbought and a decline is likely, rather than a signal for continued growth. Meanwhile, XLM saw an 11% increase on Wednesday and was up another 7% early Thursday, which MooninPapa found unusual because XLM and XRP typically move in similar patterns.

XRP is currently showing oversold conditions on its daily chart, a situation not seen since January 30th, though analysts predict further price declines. Zcash (ZEC) has fallen below a key support level. WLFI briefly recovered to $0.06 before continuing its downward trend. MORPHO is displaying bearish signals based on three different technical indicators. A short trade on Caspa, entered during a recent price increase, is currently up 6%.

According to recent analysis, Bitcoin Gold (BGB) and MEXC (MX) are showing very strong downward trends. Avalanche (AVAX) could potentially fall another 60%, possibly reaching $3.25 – a level not seen since September 2023. However, several other cryptocurrencies – Binance Coin (BNB), HYPE, TAO, Jupiter (JUP), Dash (DASH), and Penguin (PENGU) – are currently showing signs of potential price increases. Overall, there’s a growing number of warnings about potential market declines, as highlighted in a recent social media post.

TradFi Is Pulling in the Opposite Direction

The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) remains strong and is trading above its moving average. The USD/JPY currency pair is showing signs of a potential breakout, possibly reaching 160 or higher. Despite this, the Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance haven’t taken significant action to influence the exchange rate. Meanwhile, market volatility, as measured by the VIX, decreased to 16.29.

Nvidia’s stock price dropped to a low of $208.78 on Wednesday, continuing a recent downward trend. There are still price gaps at $189.66 and $178.23. While Nvidia’s overall trend remains positive, its trading volume suggests a potential peak in its recent gains.

The Shanghai Composite Index closed lower for the second time, a similar pattern last seen on May 21st. A price gap opened at 3902, which is about 4.6% below current levels. On Wednesday, gold prices decreased by 1.14%. Silver experienced a significant drop of 3%, breaking through a key support level and signaling a potential downward trend. If silver falls below $73, the next likely support level is around $49.
