Ethereum (ETH)
TradingView, ETH/USDT
After a brief late November upturn, ETH touched its two-week high on 1 December. However, as the broader market slumped, the largest altcoin witnessed a breakdown from the ascending broadening wedge after noting a 17.6% 24-hour loss.

The RSI was deep into the oversold region while pointing at a high sell-off phase. Now, it might be in for a trend reversal. Further, DMI visibly showed a bearish preference, but the ADX displayed a slightly weak directional trend. The bulls will need accelerated force to breach the immediate resistance to prevent a gradual downtrend.
MATIC
