  • Ethereum’s price faces key resistance at $3,950, crucial for a bullish breakout.
  • Short-term bearish sentiment persists as ETH’s RSI suggests a potential rebound.
  • ETH could surge past $4,500 if it breaks key resistance by December 2024.

Ethereum’s price has shown volatile behavior, alternating between gains and losses. As of this writing, Ethereum (ETH) trades at $3,907.04, reflecting a 1.71% decline in the last 24 hours.

Despite the pullback, analysts remain optimistic about ETH’s potential to reach $6,000, provided it can overcome crucial resistance levels.

Analyzing Key Price Levels

Ethereum’s recent price action has been choppy, bouncing between bullish and bearish. The price trend shows signs of caution as it nears critical support and resistance zones.

The immediate support level stands at $3,900, signaling a psychological threshold for traders. A failure to maintain this level could push the price to $3,875, followed by $3,850, both considered essential defensive lines against further declines.

Conversely, resistance levels are pivotal for assessing ETH’s upward potential. The first hurdle lies at $3,950, a zone where selling pressure has previously emerged.

Beyond that, $3,975 and the psychological barrier at $4,000 mark more significant obstacles for any bullish momentum. A breakout above these levels could shift sentiment toward a more bullish outlook, possibly paving the way for higher price targets.

Technical Indicators and Market Sentiment

Ethereum’s technical indicators currently show a bearish tone in the short term. The 1-hour RSI stands at 32.27, indicating that ETH is oversold, which could spark a rebound. However, the MACD remains below the signal line, pointing to sustained bearish momentum.

Despite these short-term challenges, Ethereum’s price still has significant upside potential. Changelly blog analysts predict that by December 2024, ETH could trade between $3,902.69 and $4,058.16. If Ethereum breaks above key resistance levels, a price surge toward $4,500 or beyond may be possible.
