Ethereum is showing some strength, but the bullish case only becomes clear when looking at an inverted chart. On the standard view, the downtrend is still in place until key resistance levels are broken, meaning current optimism should be tempered.
Inverted Chart Reinforces the Broader Bearish Outlook
In a recent analysis, trader Mizer presented an inverted chart, noting he has been short Ethereum for several days based on the higher time frame (HTF) structure. He clarified that he doesn’t necessarily plan to hold the position all the way to his projected targets, preferring to focus on lower time frame (LTF) opportunities due to the difficulty of predicting larger moves in the current market.
According to Mizer, Ethereum’s HTF structure shows a clear distribution phase followed by consistent breakdowns since the peak near $5,000. A parabolic curve formed from that top has guided the price for months. Until this parabola is decisively broken and price holds above it, the broader downtrend remains valid.
Zooming in, Mizer highlighted a strong impulse move into a zone marked by a purple line on the inverted chart. This area represents a key support/resistance flip—formerly resistance, now acting as support. He is now watching the current consolidation zone (marked by a small blue box) that followed this impulse.
Two Potential Scenarios from the Consolidation
From this consolidation, Mizer sees two primary scenarios:
1. A continuation after a shallow pullback.
2. A brief fake breakdown followed by a swift recovery, leading to the next move higher on the inverted chart (which would mean further downside for ETH’s actual price).
The “purple path” on his chart represents his ideal bullish scenario for the inverted structure, where price continues to respect the long-standing parabolic curve. As long as that parabola holds, his base case remains bearish for Ethereum.
For targets, he identifies:
* A short-term target around $1,700, viewed as a logical area to take profits and watch for a potential reaction that could challenge the parabolic resistance.
* A final target near $1,400 if bearish momentum fully plays out.
He emphasized that the setup would be invalidated if ETH loses the key flip zone on the inverted chart and starts trading below it. This would break the parabola and could signal a broader trend reversal.
