The bearish rally finally seemed to stall after the alt bounced back from its long-term support at the $3,000-level. After poking its 15-week low on 10 January, the king alt grew by nearly 17% but saw a pullback from its immediate supply zone (rectangle, yellow).  

The altcoin witnessed multiple red candlesticks over the past day after a big engulfing stick on 17 January. As the buyers failed to step in, bulls flipped the $3,239.8-mark from support to resistance.

At press time, the alt traded at $3,171.3. After the RSI fell below the 44-level, it confirmed the Double-top pattern on its 4-hour chart.

This reading reignites a bullish comeback possibility.
