Ethereum Price Analysis 

The price of ETH on the daily chart shows a robust recovery after completing corrective wave 2 on Nov. 4, forming a solid support zone near $2,400.

The price broke out of a prolonged descending resistance trendline, confirming a trend reversal as it moved sharply to $3,450.

ETH is now consolidating in a symmetrical triangle, potentially representing wave 4, with the price hovering near $3,100.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates a cooling momentum after an overbought condition during the previous uptrend, signaling a brief pause before the next significant move.

Considering the price context, the symmetrical triangle can be interpreted as a bull flag.

Since the price is approaching its apex, a breakout to the upside will lead to a higher high of around $4,000. 

Key Observations:

  1. Wave 3 Completion: ETH peaked at $3,450, marking the end of wave 3 in the current impulsive structure.
  2. Wave 4 Developing: The symmetrical triangle suggests wave 4 is nearing completion, potentially leading to one more upward advancement.
  3. Neutral RSI: The RSI shows balanced momentum, leaving room for a breakout to the upside or further consolidation.

The completion of wave 4 will likely determine ETH’s next trajectory. A breakout above the triangle resistance would indicate the start of wave 5, potentially pushing the price toward $4,000 or higher.

Conversely, a breakdown below $2,900 could signal a deeper retracement before resuming the uptrend.

Ethereum Price Prediction 

The hourly chart shows that the price decreased 13% from its Nov. 12 high of $3,450 to a low of $3,015 on Nov. 15.

A sideways recovery followed, leading to a high of $3,220 on Nov. 18, forming descending resistance.

However, in its retracements, the price kept higher low, forming ascending support and thus a symmetrical triangle.

Two scenarios are possible, depending on whether or not the higher-degree wave 4 ends inside the symmetrical triangle or has one more sharp decline ahead. 

Firstly, a breakout above the triangle would confirm the start of wave 5, potentially leading to a new high of $4,000.

Conversely, a breakdown below the triangle support could extend wave 4, leading to a deeper retracement level, with its first target set at the 0.5 Fib at $2,840. 

Key Levels to Watch

  1. Immediate Resistance:
    • $3,140 (0.236 Fibonacci retracement of wave 3).

  2. Immediate Support:
    • $2,969 (0.382 Fibonacci retracement of wave (iii)).
    • $2,843 (0.5 Fibonacci retracement).
  3. Upside Targets:
    • $3,700 (wave 5 coming shorter.
