Ether Chart Hints at $4K Breakout

Ether’s price has the potential to reach new all-time highs, provided it can maintain a weekly close above the $4,000 mark probably signaling a significant upward trend for the cryptocurrency

According to a significant technical chart formation, the price of Ether is poised to surge to all-time highs.

Can Ether convert the psychological threshold of $4,000 into support?

A pattern on the ETH price chart suggests a possible breach.

In the past week, the price of Ether increased by more than 27%, transforming significant areas of resistance into areas of support.

Ether has exited its falling wedge chart configuration, which signifies a possible reversal of the downward trend that followed its price surge.

The breakout could signal a rally to new all-time highs, according to a May 27 X post by the pseudonymous crypto trader Jelle to his 83,000 followers:

As evidenced by the recent rebound in the ETH/BTC pair, the declining dominance of Bitcoin also indicates that traders are shifting their focus to Ether.

In contrast, Ether’s dominance increased by 4.4% over the past five days, whereas Bitcoin’s declined by over 0.98%.

TradingView reports that Ether’s dominance increased by 1.45% in the previous twenty-four hours, whereas Bitcoin’s dominance declined by 0.57%.

Analyst: The price of ETH must conclude the week above $3,956.

The primary catalyst for the present upward trend in Ether’s value is favorable developments concerning first-spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The price of Ether increased by approximately 20% in a single day on May 20, after reports that the United States SEC reversed its stance on spot Ether ETFs—possibly due to political pressure—and requested ETF exchanges to revise their 19b-4 filings.

Arthur Cheong, the founder and CEO of crypto-focused investment firm DeFiance Capital, predicts that the price of Ether could surge to $4,500 before the initial public offering of spot Ether ETFs, thereby elevating investor optimism.

Via his X post on May 26, Cheong communicated with his 167,000 followers as follows:

“4.5k before spot ETF goes live for trading [in my opinion].”

Nevertheless, Ether’s price encounters substantial resistance at the psychological $4,000 threshold. CoinGlass data indicates a potential rise above $4,000 would liquidate cumulative leveraged short positions worth over $433 million across all exchanges.

A weekly close above $3,956 is ultimately required to validate sustained bullish momentum for the ETH price, according to renowned crypto analyst Rekt Capital, who wrote in a May 26 X post:

“Ethereum just needs to Weekly Close above $3956 (green) to move into $4000+ territory. At the moment, #ETH is forming a Lower High.”
