ethereum is aggressively approaching its all-time high, with the price on a near vertical rise. However, based on technical and sentiment analysis, a correction seems likely in the short term.
Technical analysis
The daily chart
On the daily chart, the price has broken several resistance levels since recovering from the $2,200 level in early February. The market is currently testing the $3,500 resistance level and is yet to definitively break above.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index demonstrates a clear overbought signal pointing to a possible consolidation or pullback in the coming days. In this case, the $3,000 level may provide enough support to prevent a deeper decline.
The 4 hour chart
If we look at the 4-hour time frame, the price has recently shown signs of weakness and has failed to break above the $3,500 level.
The Relative Strength Index also demonstrates a bearish divergence between the two recent highs. As a result, another rejection from the $3,500 level could occur, leading to a correction towards the $3,000 area.
