Ethereum Price Ready to Soar? Analyst Predicts New All-Time High Post-12-Week Bottom Formation
As Ethereum completes a 12-week period of price consolidation, technical indicators are pointing to an imminent breakout that could bring the cryptocurrency to new highs. With analysts suggesting that Ethereum’s consolidation phase may be wrapping up, all signs hint at a rally that could target the elusive $4,900 all-time high (ATH) and beyond.
A Bottom Formation for the Ages
Ethereum’s consolidation over the last three months has caught the eye of crypto analysts, who are closely monitoring its price action within a long-term "Channel Up" trend that began back in June 2022. This trend has encapsulated Ethereum’s price movement, with the currency finding support and resistance within upper and lower trendlines for over two years.
According to technical analysts on TradingView, the recent 12-week consolidation forms a textbook bottom structure, setting the stage for an uptrend that has only just begun. Ethereum's slow and steady climb since early October has pushed it back to a neutral position, where the possibility of a bullish turnaround is stronger than ever.
All Eyes on the Weekly Moving Average 50 (MA50)
One crucial factor in Ethereum’s journey to the top is the 50-week Moving Average (MA50). This technical indicator has become a pivotal level; crossing above it on the weekly timeframe would mark a decisive shift from Ethereum's prolonged consolidation phase to bullish momentum.
Crypto analyst InvestingScope sees this level as the key that could unlock Ethereum's next rally: “When Ethereum breaks through the MA50, we’re likely looking at an open path toward its upper trendline in the Channel Up, with a possible run to new ATH levels.”
A successful close above this weekly average would also stimulate fresh buying interest, drawing in both institutional and retail investors eager to catch the trend upward.
Momentum Indicators Signal a Bullish Surge
Ethereum's 1-Week Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed above its own moving average, providing additional support for a bullish scenario. This shift in RSI indicates growing momentum, and if Ethereum continues to gather steam, it could reach the Channel Up’s upper limit, a level that might surpass the previous ATH of $4,900.
The formation of a higher high within the Channel Up structure, and potentially surpassing the ATH, could push Ethereum above $5,500, according to InvestingScope. This upward journey would confirm a new bullish cycle for ETH and potentially even reframe Ethereum's valuation across the market.
“Don’t Aim Lower Than the All-Time High,” Analyst Advises
With Ethereum’s current price resting around $2,631, the forecast of a new ATH may seem optimistic, but the recent bottom formation gives hope to those bullish on the asset. “When that happens, aim for no lower than the ATH,” says the analyst. With market sentiment and technicals aligning, the next few weeks could be pivotal for Ethereum.
In the rapidly changing world of crypto, Ethereum's potential climb to $4,900 and beyond has investors watching closely. With the right market dynamics and technical confirmation, Ethereum could soon surpass expectations and redefine its
place among digital assets.
