Ethereum has seen a solid week of trading as the cryptocurrency managed to surge by a total of 15% over the past week of trading. The cryptocurrency had started the month at around $1,920 as it started to push higher above the $2,000 level.
Since breaking $2,000, Ethereum managed to hold above the level as it set a new ATH price yesterday at $2,151. Despite setting a new ATH price, Ethereum failed to close yesterday’s daily candle above $2,113 (1.272 Fibonacci Extension) and ended up rolling over today to reach the current $2,060 level.
The recent price hike has now allowed the total balance of Ethereum on cryptocurrency exchanges to reach a new 20-month low as the liquidity available to purchase starts to dry up:

These two measures indicate that investors are starting to buy up Ethereum at an aggressive pace and then are choosing to remove their tokens from exchanges as they have no intention of selling them anytime soon. It is likely that the ETH is leaving exchanges and is heading directly into cold storage to keep the digital assets secured.
Further data shows that over 400,000 ETH left Coinbase just a few days ago. That is worth around $800 million:

Speculative guess, institutions are now buying $ETH.https://t.co/ix1AV5IFOm pic.twitter.com/cYaaHkBgFf
This type of outflow suggests that it is a large institution that is likely to be purchasing the Ethereum and then sending them out to cold wallets to be kept safe. It seems that institutions might be eyeballing Ethereum as their next investment.
If this is true, we can expect some significant price increases in Ethereum to the same level to which they managed to cause Bitcoin to break above $60,000 over the past few months of trading.
Ethereum remains ranked in the 2nd position as it currently holds a $238 billion market cap value.
Let us continue to take a look at the markets and see where they might be heading.
Ethereum Price Analysis
What has been going on?
Taking a look at the daily chart above, we can see that Ethereum rebounded from support at $1,548 (.618 Fib Retracement) toward the end of March as it began to climb higher. By the beginning of April, Etheruem managed to break the previous ATH prices above $2,000.
Over the past few days, Ethereum has been trapped within a range between $2,151 and $2,000. The ATH at $2,151 was set yesterday, and the support at $2,000 is provided by a short term .236 Fibonacci Retracement level.
The cryptocurrency would have to break this current range bound trading to dictate the next direction forward for the market.
Ethereum price short term prediction: Bullish
Etheruem continues to remain bullish right now. It would need to break back beneath $1,773 (.618 Fib Retracement) to turn neutral again. It would have to continue further beneath $1,500 before being in danger of turning bearish in the short term.
If the sellers push lower, the first level of support lies at $2,000 (.236 Fib Retracement). This is followed by $1,917 (.382 Fib Retracement), $1,845 (.5 Fib Retracement), $1,800, and $1,773 (.618 Fib Retracement).
Where Is The Resistance Toward The Upside?
On the other side, the first level of resistance lies at $2,114 (1.272 Fib Extension level). This is followed by $2,151 (ATH Price), $2,205 (1.414 Fib Extension level), and $2,262.

What has been going on?
Against Bitcoin, Ethereum has also been performing pretty well as it managed to break above the March highs. The coin reached resistance at ₿0.0361 (bearish .382 Fib Retracement) during the week but has since dropped beneath it as it now trades at ₿0.0357.
Ethereum price short term prediction: Bullish
The break above the March high has allowed Etheruem to be considered bullish. The coin would need to drop beneath ₿0.0337 (May 2019 HDC) to be considered neutral and would have to continue beneath ₿0.03 to be in danger of turning bearish.
If the sellers push lower, the first level of support lies at ₿0.035. This is followed by ₿0.0337 (May 2019 High-day closing price), ₿0.032 (200-day EMA), ₿0.0315, and ₿0.035.
