Ethereum Holds Key Support To Set A $6,000 Target – Analyst

Ethereum (ETH) is showing strength, finding support at a critical level around $2,400 and pushing to local highs near $2,800. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared a technical analysis highlighting Ethereum’s potential to break out. Holding this key level suggests ETH could be on the verge of a significant rally. 

Martinez’s analysis points to a large trading channel with an upper boundary of around $6,000, indicating a substantial upside if ETH continues to gain momentum.

As the crypto market broadly trends toward new highs, Ethereum’s performance has lagged behind some altcoins. A strong push past $2,700 could build the momentum for Ethereum to attract renewed interest, particularly from institutional and long-term investors. 

Investors are watching to see if it can finally catch up to the broader market’s gains. Should Ethereum hold its ground and continue upwards, the anticipated surge could solidify its position as a leading asset in the next major crypto rally.

Ethereum Accumulation About To End

Ethereum has been consolidating since early August. Some analysts see this as a strategic accumulation phase by long-term investors before a potential breakout. Ali Martinez highlights this view in his technical analysis on X, sharing a chart showing Ethereum trading within a channel. 

According to Martinez, this ongoing consolidation around $2,400 suggests a buildup phase, positioning ETH for a powerful surge if it breaks out of its current range.

Martinez points to the critical $2,400 support level as a foundation to propel Ethereum toward the channel’s upper boundary at around $6,000. Such a move, however, would require ETH to first breach the $2,800 level, confirming a shift out of its consolidation phase. 

If Ethereum’s price closes above this level, the breakout would mark a reversal and signal a new upward trend.

This potential rally aligns with broader market trends, as other altcoins and Bitcoin are pushing toward new highs. Analysts believe this could create a domino effect, drawing capital into ETH as investors look for high-upside assets with established use cases and network activity.

If Ethereum can hold above $2,800 and build momentum, the move could validate Martinez’s $6,000 target. Investors are watching as a breakout could signal a phase of exponential growth for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

ETH Testing Critical Supply level

Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $2,680, just 3.5% away from its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $2,776. This EMA level acts as a significant resistance point, and for bulls to take control, ETH must break above it and then hold this level as support to confirm an uptrend. 

A push above the $2,820 supply level would further solidify bullish momentum and set the stage for a potential breakout.

However, ETH might spend several days trading below these crucial levels before a decisive move unfolds. Market conditions could favor a period of consolidation, allowing ETH to gather more strength and push higher.

A retrace is likely if ETH fails to hold prices above the 200-day EMA and the $2,820 supply zone. In this scenario, ETH would potentially seek support around lower demand levels, notably near $2,500, where it could stabilize.

If ETH holds this support, consolidation within a range could continue. Investors and traders closely watch these levels to gauge ETH’s next direction in this critical phase.
