Analysts Expect Ethereum to See an Explosive Rally to $440; Here’s Why

Ethereum

Ethereum has been hovering around the $390 region throughout the past several days and weeks, struggling to break above $400 due to the heavy selling pressure that has been established at this price level.

The cryptocurrency has formed an incredibly tight correlation to Bitcoin, which is currently trading within the upper-$11,000 region.

Analysts are noting that ETH’s ongoing consolidation phase is likely to result in a sharp upwards movement, with one trader setting his sights on a move up towards $440 in the near-term.

This potential uptrend will likely only come about if BTC can shatter the resistance it faces at $12,000.

Another popular trader is also noting that the strong support Ethereum has established around 0.031 BTC is likely to bolster its near-term outlook.

Ethereum’s Technical Outlook Strengthens as Bulls Defend Key Support 

At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading down just under 2% at its current price of $390. This is around where the cryptocurrency has been trading throughout the past week.

Last Saturday, ETH ran as high as $415 before it lost its strength and declined as low as $300 on some major trading platforms. It swiftly recovered the bulk of these losses.

From this point on, it has been caught within the throes of a consolidation phase. Each dip has been aggressively bought by the crypto’s bulls.

Analysts are now noting that Ethereum remains in bull territory so long as it continues trading above 0.031 BTC – which is slightly below its current price of 0.0334 BTC.

This level was established as strong support during the sharp decline seen last week.

“As long as that level hold, hard to be bearish short/medium term,” one trader explained in a recent tweet.

He points to the high time frame closes above its support at $370 as positive signs for its near-term outlook.

“ETH / USD: Price action still looking strong HTF right now, no issues to panic as long as we continue to close above $370 on both daily and weekly timeframes, accumulation now… Still think after this breather, we continue higher to $440,” he said while pointing to the below chart.
