Has Ethereum bottomed?

A confirmed swing low is evidence of a price pattern, not proof of a final market bottom. Here is what the ETH snapshot records on 2026-10-24 UTC:

Monthly: the last confirmed swing low is $1,505 from 2026-06-30. A newer candidate at $2,313 is unconfirmed; its confirmation level is above $2,777, provided the candidate low is not undercut first. The latest monthly bar is still forming.

Weekly: the last confirmed swing low is $2,357 from 2026-09-20. A newer candidate at $2,313 is unconfirmed; its confirmation level is above $2,577, provided the candidate low is not undercut first. The latest weekly bar is still forming.

Daily: the last confirmed swing low is $2,370 from 2026-10-20. A newer candidate at $2,349 is unconfirmed; its confirmation level is above $2,414, provided the candidate low is not undercut first.

How bottom confirmation works. Cycle-low confidence is a heuristic score, not a calibrated probability of a profitable trade.
