The near-term trend in Ethereum price is sideways evidenced by a new lower high formation at $3975 in late May. This reversal indicates the overhead supply is high from market sellers and ETH buyers would need time to recuperate its momentum.

Connecting the overhead peaks with a trendline reveals a potential triangle formation as the altcoin has also received dynamic support from an ascending trendline since October 2023.

The Ethereum price currently trades at $3389 and holds a market cap of $407.3 Billion. If the supply pressure persists, the coin price could plunge another 5% to seek support at the long-coming trendline.

The renewed buying pressure from the trendline could uplift the asset by 14-15% and challenge the triangle’s upper boundary at $3860. A bullish breakout from the triangle pattern will signal a better confirmation of uptrend continuation.
