According to veteran chartist Aksel Kibar, this setup projects an upside target of $2,163 – calculated from the pattern’s move from the double bottom to the neckline. It also follows a similar short-term bullish prediction made by the analyst just three days ago, indicating continued bullish momentum in the reversal.
Further supporting this thesis is the rising multi-month trendline, which shows higher lows between February and May. This trajectory means buyers are consistently accumulating even as prices rise, further reinforcing the previously mentioned bullish thrust.
Recent developments fueling upside bias
In addition to the above technical analysis, EthSystems, a spin-off from the Ethereum Foundation, recently launched as an independent for-profit research and engineering company. The Ethereum community expressed optimism for the event, as it signaled Ethereum’s commitment to providing blockchain privacy to heavily regulated institutions.
Furthermore, today’s cooler-than-expected inflationary data encouraged investors to flow into crypto assets. Other than retail investors, institutions continue to accumulate the coin, with Bitmine Immersion Technologies now holding 5.77 million $ETH tokens (about 4.8% of the circulating supply).
Key levels to watch for
Important levels to watch out for now include the $1,842-$1,850 double-bottom neckline resistance. A downside penetration below this threshold could invalidate the bullish setup.
Additional resistance lies between $1,900 and $2,000, which marks the highs hit between May and June just before the sharp decline.
Breaking above these two zones, coupled with rising trade volumes, would pave the way for the $2,163 target.
