Ethereum's Signature 45‑Degree Channel Test
At ~$2,027 (March 12, 2026), ETH grinds the lower boundary of its multi‑year 45‑degree ascending channel (2020 origin), with $1,700–$1,900 institutional bids absorbing selling pressure like clockwork. Secondary 2025 channel creates double compression—textbook volatility squeeze preceding major expansion.
$2,878 upper cap breakout triggers measured move to $4,076 ATH extension. Key supports: $1,200–$1,400 ultimate floor.
