Left shoulder: The push into the 3,200–3,250 area in early December, followed by a pullback. Head: The higher spike into 3,400+ shortly after. Right shoulder: The subsequent lower high around $ETH 3,100–3,150. Neckline zone: Roughly 2,900–2,950, which price is currently hovering around. Structurally, that fits the textbook idea of LH–HH–LH with a horizontal support area. BUT it’s not confirmed Neckline hasn’t decisively broken. You’d want a clear 4h or better, daily close below 2,900 with follow-through. Right shoulder is messy. Instead of a sharp rejection, price has gone into sideways consolidation, which often morphs into ranges or continuation patterns. RSI is neutral 45–50. In classic H&S tops, RSI often fails closer to 60 on the right shoulder and then breaks down harder — here it’s more balanced. Alternative (and important) interpretation This can just as easily be: A range after a strong impulse, with 2,900 acting as acceptance Or a distribution box, not a clean reversal pattern In strong macro / cycle uptrends, many apparent H&S patterns fail and resolve sideways before continuation.
