Recently, the price tested a key demand zone at $2,307, showing initial signs of recovery. This level is essential for ethereum’s price action as a hold above it could signal strength and create the basis for a bullish move.
Analysis suggests that the next target for eth could be new all-time highs if it breaks out of the triangle pattern, defying the bearish expectations of many traders who are still expecting lower prices.
This potential bullish scenario could play out if ethereum price holds at the lower boundary of the triangle and gains upward momentum. A breakout would send eth towards higher levels, overcoming the current market sentiment and surprising investors.
eth remains above $2300
ethereum (eth) is currently trading at $2,396 amid intense volatility and uncertainty in the market. The price is in a consolidation phase, which could still be susceptible to an unexpected pullback if demand weakens further. Currently, eth is trading below the 200-year 4-hour moving average (MA) at $2,596, lining up with the crucial $2,600 level.
This level is vital for eth to retake if it intends to rise in the near term. A sustained trading position below these levels indicates weakness and the possibility of further declines.
For the bulls, reclaiming the $2,600 mark is essential to change the price structure and start a new uptrend. Success in overcoming this level could pave the way for targeting the local high of $2,820.
