ETH / USD daily chart: bullish

ETH / USD daily chart

ETH / USD continued to gain today after closing higher for two days in a row. Today’s move has taken the pair to record highs of $ 2,486. Ethereum resumed its uptrend from the lows of $ 1,534 on March 25th. The RSI is flattening out at 74, which could suggest the bulls are pausing to take a breather. The ETH stabilized around the record high and interrupted the strong upward trend.

If the market manages to regain momentum and jump above the all-time high of $ 2,486, the next target could be the immediate psychological number of $ 2600 and $ 3000. On the flip side, if the ETH / USD pair deviates from current levels, it could fall to the support at $ 2102. A break below the $ 2102 level could expose the support at $ 1929 before the MA 50 at $ 1834.

ETH / USD 4-hour chart: bullish

ETH / USD 4-hour chart

On the 4-hour chart, ETH price is consolidating near the newly formed record highs as the resistance at USD 2486 remains a hurdle. ETH price could continue to move sideways within the USD 2400 and USD 2486 levels except that the overhead resistance is flipped. If the ETH price breaks out above the USD 2486 level, further gains can be expected. ETH is likely to target new record highs of $ 2,600 and $ 3,000 if buying interest rises.

ETH is now trading on uncharted territory, having hit new all-time highs, which means that there is no defined resistance ahead of us. Alternatively, a break below the immediate support at $ 2400 could put the spotlight on the $ 2295 and $ 2135 support. A continued continuation of the downtrend could mean that Ethereum could potentially signal a decline in the MA 50 support level at USD 2183. The trend will shift down if the ETH / USD pair sees a declining closing price below the MA 50.
