Key support levels include $3,209, aligning with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement, and a deeper level at $3,004 (0.618 Fibonacci).

On the upside, immediate resistance lies at $3,666 (0.236 Fibonacci), with a critical barrier at $4,085—the yearly high.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral, neither overbought nor oversold, suggesting a continuation of the current consolidation phase.

The narrowing price action underscores the likelihood of an imminent breakout.

ETH Price Prediction 

Zooming into the hourly chart, Ethereum shows early signs of bullish momentum.

The price has recently reclaimed $3,519.6, a critical support zone aligning with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement.

If ETH sustains this level, a breakout from the triangle could set the stage for wave (iii) in a new five-wave impulsive pattern.

Upside targets include $3,868, corresponding to the 1.272 Fibonacci extension, and $4,022 (1.618 Fibonacci extension).

These levels align with Ethereum’s potential for upward continuation. However, failure to hold $3,519.6 could result in a pullback toward $3,305 (0.786 Fibonacci retracement).

The RSI on the hourly chart shows a nascent bullish divergence, reinforcing the potential for an upward breakout. Traders should watch for a decisive move above the $3,519 level to confirm bullish momentum.

Key Levels to Watch

  • Support: $3,519 (0.5 Fibonacci), $3,305.2 (0.786 Fibonacci retracement).
  • Resistance: $3,868 (1.272 Fibonacci extension), $4,022.1 (1.618 Fibonacci extension), $4,085 (key high).
  • Critical Zone: Breakout above $3,519 for bullish continuation.
  • Bearish Target: Failure to hold $3,519 could lead to $3,305.
