Over the past month, Ethereum [ETH] grew to set foot in the apex region of its long-term rising wedge on the daily chart. Post reversing from the upper band of the Bollinger Bands (BB), the king alt dipped below its 20 EMA (red) and 50 EMA (cyan).

After swaying near the upper band of the BB for over a month, the recent selling resurgence pulled ETH below the near-term EMAs and the basis line.
Should the price action remain below the boundaries of the daily 20/50 EMA, the bears would look to expedite their edge in the coming days. So a convincing close above the 50 EMA could aid ETH in retesting the $1,730 zone. This trajectory could induce a low volatility phase near the EMAs.
