Dash (DASH) is still being sold, and the chart does not show any real change yet. Each small bounce meets sellers, and the downtrend remains.
On the 1H chart, the DASH price moved up briefly but was turned away at a falling trendline that has stopped price for several days.
That rejection matters. Each time the DASH reaches this line, sellers show up quickly and push it back down. This tells us supply is still active overhead and buyers are struggling to follow through.
The rejection also happened near a prior supply zone, reinforcing the idea that this area is being used to sell into strength rather than build long positions.

Moreover, below current price, there is a clear fair value gap (FVG) that has not been filled yet. These gaps often act like magnets. As long as the DASH price stays below resistance, price tends to drift back toward them.
This unfinished imbalance lines up with the analyst’s view that downside remains open. If price fails to reclaim the broken level as support, the path toward the mid-$35 area becomes much cleaner and faster.

Structure also leans bearish. Lower highs continue to form, and the latest bounce did not break that pattern. Instead of flipping resistance into support, the DASH price stalled and rolled over again.
This is why the idea of a “trap” still applies. Short bounces can look convincing, but without a clear reclaim, they often end up being exits for sellers rather than real reversals.
What Would Change the Picture for DASH?
For this outlook to weaken, the DASH price would need to reclaim the descending trendline and hold above it. That would suggest sellers are losing control and the FVG risk below is fading.
Until that happens, the chart still favors downside continuation. Sellers remain in control, and price action suggests the move lower may not be finished yet.

ETH drops 0.58% in 15 minutes: derivatives liquidity contraction and proactive position reduction dominate short-term pullback
From 2026-04-19 04:30 to 2026-04-19 04:45 (UTC), within ETH’s 15-minute candlestick chart, the return recorded -0.58%, and the price range was 2321.62 to 2342.04 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.87%. The short-term selloff occurred against a backdrop of increased overall market volatility and a broad decline in the prices of major crypto assets; overall market risk appetite clearly fell, and traders’ wait-and-see sentiment strengthened.
The main driver behind this abnormal move is a sharp contraction in liquidity in the derivatives market and leveraged funds proactively reducing positions. Data shows that over the past 24 hours, the ETH/USD perpetual contract trading volume dropped 67.16% to approximately 74.87 million, open interest edged down 3.33% to 329 million, and liquidation amounts did not expand unusually. This structure indicates that the market lacks the risk of passive cascades; more funds chose to proactively step aside and wait on the sidelines, intensifying short-term selling pressure.
In addition, the long/short structure in which shorts held the upper hand (long/short ratio 47.48%:52.52%) and sentiment synchronization with the panic range reinforced the downward price trend. During the same period, major coins such as BTC and SOL also fell 2%-3.4% in tandem, further showing that this pullback was driven by system-wide risk sentiment. On-chain funds did not show any large abnormal transfers or large-scale liquidations of DeFi protocols; spot and on-chain liquidity remained generally stable, and no sudden system risk resonance was observed.
Current volatility-related risks still need close monitoring, especially as overall risk appetite continues to contract—ETH’s short-term price may face further downside probing. Watch subsequent changes in derivatives trading volume and open interest, extreme shifts in the long/short ratio and funding rate, and promptly monitor on-chain fund flows, large transfers, and any signs of amplified platform net outflows.
