According to Bit Bull&#8217;s analysis, the ETH dominance chart has formed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/d\/descendingtriangle.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">descending triangle<\/a> pattern, which typically signals bearish momentum.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;A retest toward the upper trendline is likely, but after that, we could see another move down,&#8221; Bit Bull added in his market commentary.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This weakening dominance implies that investors might be losing faith in Ethereum over other cryptocurrencies, adding further selling pressure in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/YNetuUdg\/\" width=\"1835\" height=\"883\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>On-Chain Data Validates Negative Trend<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bearish argument isn&#8217;t only in chart structures.

Most troubling to long-term holders is probably the rise in ETH supply following the Merge event, which was initially anticipated to introduce deflationary pressure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some Analysts Still See Long-Term Upside<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even with the pessimistic short-term forecast, not all analysts have given up on Ethereum&#8217;s performance this year.
