Ethereum Gears up for Bullish Surge, Eyes $4,000 Benchmark

15

In a boost for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, Ethereum, a major player in the market, has been displaying promising signs of positive momentum about the $3,550 zone. The Ethereum digital currency appears poised for an uptick, as market analysts predict a bullish trajectory should it surmount the resistance zone positioned at $3,650 in the near-term.

Recent trading patterns reveal that Ethereum embarked on another surge from the foundational $3,500 support zone. Impressively, its price is now maneuvering above $3,550, a figure backed by the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average – a technical trading tool used to analyze price dynamics.


Moreover, of vital significance to traders is a bullish trend line taking shape – a trend line offering support at $3,550 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The combination of all these factors shape the current market sentiment suggesting intensified bullish momentum should the digital coin manage to establish its position firmly above the $3,650 resistance zone.

Ethereum’s price resilience and strength have been evident, with its base firmly planted above the $3,500 zone. The digital currency, paralleling bitcoin’s trajectory, sprung up above the $3,600 resistance zone recently. Yet, Ethereum faces a continuous pushback near the $3,650 and $3,680 resistance levels. The most recent peak came in close to $3,654, from which the price is now in the midst of gains consolidation after a petty drop below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward climb from the previous $3,491 low to the $3,654 peak.

While Ethereum may not be completely immune to a possible decline, having hit a speed bump near the $3,600 level, there is a solid, in-built cushion of the $3,575 major support zone further bolstered by the crucial $3,550 zone support and the trend line, which should absorb the impact of potential losses. Experts warn though, if Ethereum falls below $3,550, the journey towards $3,440 might be inevitable, and potentially could plummet further to the $3,320 level.

However, the good news is that should Ethereum successfully navigate the immediate resistance near the $3,630 level, with the first significant barrier set at $3,650, a rally towards the $3,800 level might be on the horizon, bringing with it grand possibilities, from rising towards the $3,880 resistance mark, to stretching an ambitious reach for the golden $4,000 benchmark.

Adding a technical perspective to the equation, the Hourly MACD – used to indicate changes in strength, direction, momentum, and the duration of a trend – while losing some momentum, is resting comfortably in the bullish zone. Likewise, the relative strength index, or RSI, a measure of the magnitude and velocity of directional price moves, although sitting just above the 50-point mark, is positioned optimistically for ETH/USD. In balance, Ethereum’s major supportive forces brace at $3,550, and its considerable resistance level – viewed as a significant turning point – hovers at $3,650.
