Billions in Institutional Money Bets Ethereum to Break $4,000 This Time

Ethereum (ETH) price has entered a key resistance range between $4,100 and $3,900, which has resulted in multi-week choppy markets since March 2024. The large-cap top-tier altcoin, with a market valuation of $469 billion, has set a new local high each week for the past five weeks.

This has turned more crypto users bullish on the midterm perspective. The altcoin season index from Coinglass has also signaled an opportunity ahead for the wider market, a sentiment fueled by robust on-chain data.

ETH/USD Analysis By Dan Gambardello

According to crypto analyst Dan Gamberdello, the ETH price has led the wider altcoin market in recording a macro higher high and higher low. According to Dan, a potential mid-term pullback cannot be fully ruled out amid the macro bull market.

As for ETH/USDT pairs, Dan stated the altcoin could retest the established macro rising logarithmic trend support before soaring to its all-time high (ATH). Notably, ETH price reached its ATH at $4,878 three years ago, and has since been trapped in a choppy consolidation to date.

In his long-term perspective, he believes the ETH chart is well-positioned to rally parabolically beyond $10,000, setting a potential high target of around $16,900.

This macro bullish view is also supported by the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI), which surged above the 70 level for the first time since March, and a bullish weekly MACD indicator.

Additionally, the weekly MACD indicator has seen the histograms slither to new highs amid the event of the MACD and Signal lines crossing above the Zero line. The midterm bullish outlook will be invalidated if Ether price consistently closes below the hypotenuse of the macro ascending triangle pattern.
