Bullish divergence signals a potential 9-16% Ethereum price move as volatility returns after the Fed rate cut decision.
Ethereum ETH $2 046 24h volatility: 0.8% Market cap: $247.00 B Vol. 24h: $19.02 B price is down 3.5% on Dec. 11, slipping under $3,200, amid the broader crypto market sell-off after the Fed rate cut announcement. Market experts believe that ETH charts show the possibility of a 9-16% move ahead, along with the formation of a bullish divergence pattern. On the other hand, flows into spot Ether ETFs continue to remain in the positive territory.
Ethereum Price Volatility Likely Ahead
Citing his proprietary Divergence Superstack, crypto analyst Ardi noted that the chart flashes a strong “Bullish Divergence” for Ethereum price. He added that such a signal has appeared for the first time in a month.
According to the algorithm, the setup has a strength score of 7.61, suggesting a historically meaningful reversal zone. Ardi noted that the last three times this signal alert came, the ETH price moved 9-16%. However, these swings have been in both directions, up and down.
On Sept. 20, Ethereum price moved from $4,540 to $3,800. While on Oct 1, it moved from $4,000 to $4,770. The last time the bullish divergence appeared on November 6, ETH price moved from $3,450 to $3,140.

“Closed all my $ETH shorts. There’s potential for a little more pain, but I’m not fading my trusty Divergence Superstacker when I’m up triple-digit gains”.
