Ethereum: Key Levels to Watch
Ethereum's daily chart exhibits a robust upward trend with consistent rising peaks and troughs. Introduction of Fibonacci retracement levels from the 4-hour chart aids short-term traders in identifying potential pausing or reversal areas. Approaching the 0.236 Fib level from the 4-hour chart, just above $2742, could act as a barrier to further price increases. Ethereum's price near the upper Bollinger Bands suggests potential overvaluation, supported by RSI just below the overbought line. Despite this, the bullish trend persists according to the MACD. Key levels for traders include the daily SMA at 2658.91 and the lower Bollinger Band at 2106.31, presenting buying opportunities during price drops. Monitoring trading volume is crucial for assessing the strength of price changes, especially during weekends when volume tends to decrease.

The daily chart for Ethereum shows a strong upward trend, highlighted by a consistent pattern of rising peaks and troughs.
We've introduced Fibonacci retracement levels from the 4-hour chart, which help short-term traders spot potential areas where the price may pause or reverse—these aren't as visible on the daily chart. Right now, Ethereum is approaching the 0.236 Fib level from the 4-hour chart, just above the current price of $2742, which may act as a barrier to further price increases.
ETH's price is close to the upper boundary of the Bollinger Bands, indicating that it might be reaching a point where the market considers it overvalued, which could lead to a price pullback or a stabilization period soon. This is also suggested by the RSI, currently just below the overbought line at 68.42. Despite this, the bullish trend appears to continue as shown by the MACD, where the main line is well above the signal line.
For traders looking to make the most of this trend, the key levels to monitor are the daily chart's SMA of 2658.91 and the lower Bollinger Band at 2106.31, which could present opportunities to buy during price drops.
Conversely, if the price stays above the current 0.236 Fib resistance level, it could climb higher. It's important to keep an eye on the trading volume for signs of the strength behind these price changes, especially over the weekend when the trading volume tends to decrease.
