Ethereum (ETH) experienced a significant recovery over the past week after jumping over 10% to the $1,800 resistance. The cryptocurrency’s momentum has seen it reclaim key levels, which could ignite a 28% rally continuation in the following weeks.
Ethereum Reclaims First Horizontal Level In MonthsOver the past week, Ethereum’s price has jumped around 14% to retest crucial support levels. Amid the market recovery, the cryptocurrency reclaimed the $1,600-$1,650 zone at the start of the week, holding a historical demand area as support.
According to analyst Rekt Capital, ETH is holding the bottom of its historical demand zone, between $1,650 and $1,950, after its recent performance, “repeating history also by wicking briefly below it.”
Since losing its $2,196-$39,00 Macro Range, the cryptocurrency has traded within this range, upside wicking to the region’s top and turning it into resistance, and downside wicking below the bottom to turn it into support, like in 2023.
According to the analyst, “Ethereum needs to keep holding here. If this price stability here can be sustained… There is a chance” to repeat its mid-2023 performance, where the token bounced from this region and hit its early 2024 high of $4,093.
Meanwhile, Daan Crypto Trades noted that ETH has flipped a horizontal level back into support. The analyst pointed out that since closing above the $1,750 mark for the past three days, the King of Altcoins has shown a “change in market dynamics.”
Notably, Ethereum has not been able to reclaim previous horizontal levels for months, getting rejected and making new lows instead. Daan asserted that the $1,750-$2,100 price range is crucial to continue ETH’s bullish momentum.
ETH On The Verge Of Breaking OutAmid this performance, ETH is nearing a breakout from its multi-month downtrend. The cryptocurrency has been in a downtrend since hitting its cycle high of $4,107 in early December, retracing over 56% since then.
However, Ethereum is attempting to break from the descending resistance again amid its retest of the $1,800 barrier. Analyst Crypto Caesar affirmed that ETH “is on the verge of breaking out. We really just need that higher high…”
Analyst Ted Pillows considers that a 28% jump by next month could be possible if the cryptocurrency reclaims this crucial short-term resistance. He pointed out that the $1,800-$1,850 zone is the next level to break before the $2,000 barrier, noting an inverse head and shoulders pattern on ETH’s chart.
“If ETH manages to break above it, it could rally towards $2.2K-$2.3K in May,” he concluded. Another analyst previously suggested that Ethereum won’t start a new rally until it reclaims the $2,330 barrier, where over 60 million addresses have purchased the cryptocurrency.
As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $1,795, a 2.1% increase in the daily timeframe.
