According to the expert, ETH recently broke down sharply from a “primary shaded wedge pattern,” highlighted on her accompanying chart. She noted that the breakdown had triggered a massive leverage flush, pushing ETH’s price down to $2,070. She added that the move has done its job by clearing out overleveraged positionsand paving the way for ETH to potentially stage a fresh recovery.

Lingrid further pointed out that Ethereum’s price has held firm right above a long-term rising macro support line, which she sees as confirmation that a structural bottom is in place. Based on this, her recovery roadmap for ETH, indicated by the purple arrow on the chart, targets a clean reclaim of the broken structure, reaching $2,300.
