In just 48 hours, Ethereum rocketed over 50% from $770 to roughly $1140 at last night’s overnight high. The massive Sunday candle was the lead up to a sell signal forming on daily timeframes.<\/p>\n
Was this latest push higher the last impulse in Ethereum’s bull trend? Or like Bitcoin, will this sell signal fail, and the top-ranked altcoin soars to a new all-time high?<\/p>\n
Although it is hard to argue that 2020 was the year of Bitcoin, Ethereum outperformed the top cryptocurrency by a sizable margin. With only four days into the new year, 2021 already looks as if an encore performance is coming.<\/p>\n

Will the formerly flawless trend change predictor fail at calling a reversal in Ethereum, just as it did for the first-ever cryptocurrency?<\/p>\n A perfected TD 9 sell setup has appeared at the recent daily high | Source: ETHUSD on TradingView.com<\/p>\n On daily timeframes, the TD Sequential indicator has lit up with a “9” sell setup.
