Currently, Ethereum is trading at $2,582.01, down 1.56% in the last 24 hours with support near $2,563. The price is now retracing after a recent rally to nearly $2,800. Analysts have mixed views on ETH’s future direction, as technical indicators signal potential consolidation or further downside.
Price Action and Technical Analysis
The price of Ethereum has retraced sharply off resistance near $2,800, followed by $2,563. The next key resistance level lies around $2,628, where ETH previously faced selling pressure. If the previously established level is breached then this could represent renewed bullish momentum.
The RSI is currently at 51.96, reflecting neutral momentum. The RSI is not indicating either overbought or oversold conditions, and if a line breaks above 56, it will represent bullish strength. The MACD is showing bearish momentum as the MACD line stands at 10.63 below the signal line at 31.16.
However, if Ethereum cannot hold above $2,563 the market may continue testing lower levels. But if the price stabilizes, the bullish trend could resume above $2,628.
Quantguy’s Analysis on Key Levels
Ethereum (ETH/USD) recently saw a sharp sell off from $2,595 to $2,556, said analyst Quantguy. The Kovach Reversals Indicator (KRI) shows a green triangle at $2,556, signaling potential support that could mark a turning point for recovery.
If Ethereum can hold above $2,556, it may attempt to reclaim $2,595 or move higher into the $2,600s. However, if the $2,556 support fails, the next downside target is $2,509, indicating further bearish momentum.
However, the market will require stronger buying momentum to surpass $2,595 resistance and confirm the recovery. Quantguy highlights that Ethereum’s sharp sell-off has pushed it into a crucial zone, with upcoming price movements likely determining ETH’s short-term direction.
Ethereum Long-Term Outlook
Crypto analyst Investor Reality is very bullish on Ethereum in the long term. According to a recent analysis from Investor Reality, ETH could hit $5,000 by Q2 2025.
Ethereum consolidating between the 0.382 level ($2,413) and 0.5 level ($2,899) and critical Fibonacci retracement levels is shown in the chart. The next major resistance is at the 0.618 level at $3,344.
The analysis also reveals long-term ascending trendline support on Ethereum since 2021. According to Investor Reality, breaking $2,899 may help push Ethereum to $5,000. Ethereum however, must break the $2,899 level to explore higher targets like $3,344 and $5,000.
