There's a real possibility that Ethereum could be heading into a bull trap if it rallies to fresh all-time highs in 2026. According to analyst Benjamin Cowen's recent take, that euphoric price action might be masking deeper weakness underneath. His concern? After any explosive upside move, a sharp correction could drag prices down toward the $2,000 level. It's a reminder that not every new high signals smooth sailing ahead—sometimes they set the stage for significant pullbacks. For traders watching Ethereum closely, the risk-reward math on potential rally tops deserves serious attention.

Oh my God, another bull trap warning... Benjamin's words this time are quite sobering. Will the new high in 2026 directly crash down to 2000? That's a bit scary, feels like we're about to get cut again.

Is ETH about to make a big move again? Cowen's guy mentioned the bull trap, and I believe it. The 2k figure sounds a bit scary.

Ha, trying to scare people again? ATH in 2026 and then crashing to 2000? Just listen to it, people say this every year.

Hmm, it's the same narrative of "new high trap" again... How does Cowen justify this time, and what on-chain evidence supports the psychological price level of 2000?

Cowen is once again bearish... But to be honest, the figure of 2000 dollars is a bit scary. If it really drops that hard, many people will have to liquidate their positions.

Speaking of Cowen, this guy is bearish again. How many times does he need to say $2k? Anyway, I only believe half of it. 2026 is still far away.

Damn, is this another bull trap? I'm just waiting to hit 2000 bucks by 2026.
