On the one-day price chart, Ethereum was forming a descending channel characterized by two parallel lines, where lower highs were formed at  $314.81, $226.18 and $222.79. The lower lows were seen at $212.63, $181.58 and $163.51. Although a descending channel is often followed by a bullish breakout.

However, MACD indicator showed that MACD line continued to move below the signal line ever since a bearish cross over on September 24th, thus suggesting a bearish momentum in the market.

Looking at 50-day moving average and 200-day moving average, Ethereum witnessed its second death cross since inception on 4th September,  The moving average suggested that ETH might struggle to see a bullish momentum

The death cross occurred in the middle of the ascending channel, which suggested that even though ETH might see a bullish price breakout, it would not be a significant or strong one.

Conclusion

Ethereum looks bearish in the long term despite the formation of a descending channel, but the death cross might be a dominant force and plunge the prices in the long term.
