$ETH /USD: The $1,845 Spike Was a Liquidity Sweep, Not a Breakout.
The $1,845 wick wasn't strength it was bait.
Right before
$ETH ripped to $1,845, price had spent hours chopping between $1,825–$1,830 on the 15m.
Two clean touches, same level that's not resistance holding, that's liquidity building.
The spike that followed didn't come from new buyers stepping in.
It came from stops and breakout orders sitting just above that range getting swept, then handed straight back.
What most people miss: the reversal that followed wasn't a random pullback.
It broke clean through the prior support shelf with real displacement, flipping that $1,798–$1,810 zone from support into resistance.
Price is now sitting almost exactly at equilibrium of the last 1H swing no edge yet, just decision time.
Two paths from here: a retest of $1,798–$1,810 that gets rejected opens the door toward $1,740–$1,715.
A confirmed hold of $1,772–$1,780 instead flips the short-term picture bullish.
Structure favors the retest-and-reject short invalidated on a close above $1,843.
Which zone reacts first, in your view?
