Ethereum upper ceiling around $2,910 has been under the spotlight since the 19 May crypto sell-off. Despite multiple attempts, however, the bulls have been unsuccessful in forcing a breakout above this upper ceiling. Alas, the formation of higher lows at $2,160, $2,300, and $2,560 led to the formation of an ascending triangle.

A breakout above $2,900 and $3,151 could trigger a sharp rally for ETH, especially since bullish sentiment would be high after climbing past the 200-SMA (green). For such an outcome, selling pressure would need to evaporate, but the OBV’s downtrend suggested just the opposite. In fact, the indicator also formed a bearish divergence with the price.
