Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart

 

 

Ethereum is attempting a major trend reversal after breaking above a long-term descending channel and the 100-day moving average—both key resistance levels that had capped price for months.Momentum is strengthening, with RSI rising into a healthy range, but the critical level to watch is $2,400.

 

 

A strong daily close above this zone could confirm the breakout and push price toward $2,800. However, failure to hold above $2,400 would signal a false breakout, with a potential drop back toward the $1,800 support level.

 

 

ETH at a Crossroads: Key Support Decides Next Move

 

 

Ethereum is trading within an ascending channel on the H4 chart, maintaining a bullish structure but currently in a short-term pullback after rejection from a supply zone near $2,340.The key level to watch is $2,230, which acts as mid support.

 

 

If price holds above it, the uptrend could continue, targeting $2,340 again. However, if this level breaks, Ethereum may drop toward the $2,160 demand zone near the lower channel.Overall, the trend remains bullish, but short-term direction depends on how price reacts at $2,230.
