Ethereum has reversed its trend after bouncing at a critical support level, and the price action indicates a significant move is likely.
The reclaim of the $3,950 area has proven to be decisive, and Ethereum confirmed its trend reversal with a close above $4,250.
Let’s examine the charts and see if the price will sustain its increase and reach a new all-time high in October.
Ethereum’s weekly time frame analysis emphasizes the significance of the $3,950 horizontal level.
The initial breakout above it in 2021 led to an all-time high price of $4,877 in November of that year.
However, that was only a deviation (black circle), since ETH fell below the area afterward, confirming it as resistance.
Afterward, the ETH price made three unsuccessful breakout attempts (red icons) before finally clearing the area in August 2025, and hitting a new all-time high of $4,957.
While the Ethereum price fell last week, it confirmed the area as support (green icon), creating a long lower wick.
Currently, Ethereum’s price is creating a bullish engulfing weekly candlestick, which is likely to lead to a sharp rally.
As a result, the price action shows a breakout and retest, which is customary after the price moves outside of a long-term resistance level.

Momentum indicators echo this sentiment. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) reached their all-time high prices.
However, neither generated any bearish divergence nor declined below its bearish threshold of 50 and 0, respectively.
Therefore, Ethereum’s long-term prediction remains bullish, and the price is likely to continue increasing as long as it trades above the $3,950 horizontal support area.
Ethereum’s wave count perfectly aligns with the bullish prediction from the weekly time frame.
The count shows that Ethereum has completed wave four in a five-wave upward movement that began in April 2025.
Ethereum’s price currently finished a fourth-wave pullback, perfectly hitting the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement support level and the resistance trend line of its previous ascending parallel channel (black circle).

Wave four alternates with wave two, since the former was an irregular deep correction, while wave four is a regular shallow one.
If the count is accurate, wave five will lead to a new all-time high price of at least $5,652, hitting the 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement resistance.
Ethereum’s price will confirm this bullish trend if it break out from its diagonal resistance trend line, which has existed since the all-time high.
The Ethereum price has already shown bullish signs by reclaiming the $4,100 horizontal area and then the $4,250 one, confirming the breakdown is a deviation.

The final obstacle is the diagonal resistance, a breakout above which could occur as soon as next week.
Once Ethereum’s price closes above this level, it will face little resistance on its way to a new all-time high.
The Ethereum to Bitcoin chart is nearly a mirror image of the wave count for the USD chart, suggesting that another upward movement is likely to follow.
According to the count, Ethereum has completed wave four of a five-wave increase that started in April.
Like the ETH to USD chart, the ETH to BTC wave four ended at the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement support level of ₿0.035.

Ethereum’s fifth and final wave will take the price to ₿0.048 if the correction has ended.
Afterward, Ethereum could decline against Bitcoin again, resuming its long-term bearish trend.
Ethereum’s long-term structure remains firmly bullish if it holds above the $3,950 support.
With the wave count indicating one last impulsive move, ETH could soon reach a price discovery point beyond $5,600.
Reclaiming the confluence of resistances at $4,250 will be the key trigger for this breakout.
If the breakout is successful, Ethereum could hit a new all-time high in October.
