Ethereum price has bounced back strongly by 4.4% in the last 24 hours following the broader crypto market rally, eyeing an immediate breakout above $3,500 for a further rally to $4,000 and above. On the four-hour chart, the ETH price already shows bullish price action following a triangle breakout leading to bullish action.
Ethereum has posted six consecutive bullish candles, rising 3.17% from its local support trendline and climbing from $3,333 to its current price of $3,437.
The Ethereum price has broken past the local resistance trendline while crossing the 20 and 50 EMA lines. With this uptrend in the last 24 hours, ETH is now approaching the 100 EMA line. Additionally, the price has also surpassed the short-term resistance level at $3,415, supported by a bullish breakout from the dynamic resistance trendline.
A look at the four-hour RSI levels shows a surge to 60.32, reflecting growing bullish momentum. With the RSI approaching the overbought zone, there’s a rising buying pressure, while a potential bullish crossover between the 20 and 50 EMA lines further enhances the likelihood of a sustained uptrend.
