The second-largest cryptocurrency has staged a minor resurgence over the past week, while numerous analysts believe a much more substantial pump could be on the way.
Certain technical indicators support the bullish outlook and may indeed set the stage for a more meaningful recovery.
Is ETH Ready to March?
After the devastating June lows, the bulls clawed back some of the losses and even briefly pushed the price above $1,800 over the weekend. However, the bears offered strong resistance, and ETH currently trades at around $1,750 (per CoinGecko), representing a 1% increase for the past week.
According to X user Ted, such a level can be considered a good sign and shows that sellers no longer dominate. He believes that holding above the $1,750 support zone is crucial and could open the door to a rally towards $2,000.
Michael van de Poppe was even more optimistic, expecting the next breakout to push ETH to $2,500. For their part, AlΞx Wacy claimed that the asset needs to break above a certain descending trendline that has historically fueled 250% pumps in weeks. The analyst pointed out that this critical threshold sits at around $1,880.
Altcoin Sherpa gave their two cents, too. While noting ETH’s price decline over the last several months, the analyst described it as “pretty attractive” in the short term with potential to climb to around $2,500.
Ali Martinez also chipped in, vowing to open a long position in ETH if its price surpasses $1,850. It is important to note that his previous take on the asset was rather bearish, outlining that its TD Sequential indicator flashed a sell signal and that could be followed by a plunge to as low as $1,700.
The Bullish Metrics
ETH’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) reinforces the predominant optimism shared by the aforementioned analysts. The technical analysis tool, whose ratio runs from 0 to 100, has fallen to around 30, indicating that the asset has entered oversold territory and could be on the verge of a rally. Conversely, readings above 70 are interpreted as pre-pullback signals.
Next on the list is the declining amount of ETH stored on exchanges. Today (July 13), the figure dropped to a nearly ten-year low of around 15.3 million units. Fewer coins on centralized platforms usually result in reduced immediate selling pressure.
