"Looks like the larger ABC correcting the five-wave rise has begun on ETH. This looks like an A wave, for now, expecting a bounce that ends up being a lower high soon." he noted

"In my opinion, $1,300 is still the spot to look for buys, provided the structure seems right when we get there," he added. 

This week, ETH officially transitioned to a proof-of-stake network. The blockchain completed The Merge to PoS. 

The Merge took place at a block height of 15537393 when the required level of Total Terminal Difficulty was reached. 

The Ethereum Foundation estimates that the shift will bring about a 99.95% reduction in energy consumption.

At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $1,425, close to 18% down in the last seven days.
