#Ethereum Inverse Head & Shoulders Pattern Fails!
Ethereum had been developing an inverse head and shoulders pattern, complete with a break above the descending neckline and a push into the projected breakout zone near $3,250–$3,300.
After the breakout attempt, price pulled back for a retest — a normal and expected step in this type of pattern. However, instead of holding above key structure, ETH continued lower and broke below right-shoulder support just under $3,000.
That breakdown is the critical moment.
Once the right-shoulder low fails, the higher-low structure required for an inverse head and shoulders is lost. At that point, the pattern is invalidated, and the projected upside target near $4,000 is no longer in play.
In this case, the sequence was clear:
• Break above the descending neckline (early signal)
• Push into the breakout zone
• Failure to reclaim and hold that zone
• Breakdown below right-shoulder support
This is a textbook example of a failed inverse head and shoulders, which often leads to continuation or deeper consolidation rather than immediate upside.
From here, the focus shifts away from pattern targets and toward new support levels and value zones as the market reassesses direction.
