This week, Ethereum (ETH) has reclaimed the $2,600 level as support for the first time since February, and it’s pushing to retest the next key resistance after a breakout from a short-term pattern. Some analysts suggest that ETH’s rally could target its Macro Range high area in the coming weeks.

Ethereum Resembles 2024 Setup

After struggling to break past the $2,600 mark, Ethereum has reclaimed this level as support. Over the past two days, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has held this key level while attempting to break above the $2,700 mark.

Since recovering from its sub-$2,000 dip earlier this month, ETH hovered between $2,400 and $2,600, failing to reclaim the range’s upper zone despite its $2,738 multi-month high on May 10.

Nonetheless, this week’s rally has seen the cryptocurrency rise above its local range and attempt to gain more strength to stop its sideways trajectory and continue its 50% recovery rally.

Analyst Titan of Crypto noted that ETH just broke out of a two-week bullish flag, leading to today’s surge to the $2,788 level. He suggested that if the breakout is confirmed, the pattern’s target sits around the $3,800 level.

Crypto Jelle pointed out that Ethereum is “still moving as planned, pushing deeper into the resistance area” around the $2,850 mark. Several analysts have named this level as the resistance before the $3,000 mark, and the wall “standing in the way of altseason.”

Rekt Capital highlighted that Ethereum has been successfully retesting a crucial horizontal level since re-entering its $2,220-$3,900 Macro Range. Notably, Ethereum has been closing above the $2,468 mark for the past four weeks, setting up the stage for a “lift across the range.”

With this successful retest, the King of Altcoins is “repeating early 2024 history.” Notably, ETH recorded a 50% four-week breakout after smashing the $2,486 resistance and retesting it as support. However, “the only difference is that it has just taken longer this time,” the analyst added.

ETH Gains Momentum

Meanwhile, analyst Ted Pillows considers that ETH is showing strength as its trading pair against Bitcoin (BTC) gains momentum and BTC dominance motion seemingly fades.

The analyst also noted the ETH’s Weekly MACD bullish cross and reclaim of its multi-year support trendline. Based on this, he forecasted that Ethereum could soon soar to the $4,000 resistance.

It’s worth noting that Ethereum is outperforming the flagship cryptocurrency this quarter for the first time since 2022, registering a 45% increase since April 1. Additionally, ETH continues to hold above its key level despite BTC’s dip below the $106,800 support.

Merlijn The Trader highlighted ETH’s price action after its golden cross, which appears to resemble its performance from the last time the setup occurred.

According to the post, during the November 2024 setup, Ethereum saw a small dip before a “massive pump” on the eleventh day. “This time? Pump already started. We’re right on schedule,” the trader affirmed.

As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,642, a 44.7% increase in the monthly timeframe.

Rubmar is a writer and translator who has been a crypto enthusiast for the past four years. Her goal as a writer is to create informative, complete, and easily understandable pieces accessible to those entering the crypto space. After learning about cryptocurrencies in 2019, Rubmar became curious about the world of possibilities the industry offered, quickly learning that financial freedom was at the palm of her hand with the developing technology.

From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.

In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.

At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.

After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.

Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers. Her attempts to better understand the crypto space made her realize the strong links of the community with other industries, enriching her perspective of the sector. As someone who spends most of her day online, Rubmar enjoys finding the points where the crypto world meets with her other passions and hobbies –or her favorite memes.

In her free time, she usually finds joy in different art forms. As a child, she enlisted in every extra-curricular activity in her hometown, including music classes, dancing, jewelry making, and the local chorus. Despite her many attempts to learn different instruments, Rubmar only knows how to play the xylophone, which she played for 7 years in her school’s marching band.

She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages – currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.

In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
