As the market volatility continues, Ethereum (ETH) has dropped 3.1% in the daily timeframe and is attempting to hold a key price area as support once again. Despite the dip, some analysts have suggested that the King of Altcoin is set to start a new expansion phase soon.
During the recent market correction, ETH briefly lost its local range, reaching a two-month low of $3,435 last Friday. Nonetheless, the price quickly bounced from the lows, reclaiming the $4,000 area over the weekend. Since then, the King of Altcoins has been hovering around the lows, attempting to reclaim the range’s mid-zone but ultimately failing.
The trader also warned that the cryptocurrency must also hold the $4,100 region on the weekly timeframe to maintain its current structure and target a climb to the range highs around $4,800. He affirmed that “the real fun starts if this can trade and close above $5K. Until then, we’re range-bound within those two levels.”
Then, ETH saw a multi-month accumulation period above the breakout level before continuing its rally toward new highs. Kaleo’s post highlighted that the cryptocurrency appears to be repeating a similar playbook, currently consolidating before potentially resuming its run toward higher targets in the next few months.
As of this writing, ETH is trading at $4,001, a 11.3% decline in the weekly timeframe.
