Ethereum nears its own all-time high as ETH price retakes $4K

Published at: Oct. 20, 2021

Ethereum's native token Ether (ETH) is likely to hit its own record high in the short term as ETH has broken above $4,000, a crucial resistance level.

Ethereum breaks $4,000, nearing new all-time high

ETH price rallied on Oct. 20 by over 5% to approach $4,100 on the Coinbase exchange for the first time since May 2021. The cryptocurrency's run-up above $4,000 appeared primarily in the wake of Bitcoin (BTC) breaking above $65,000 to enter price discovery.

According to data provided by Crypto Watch, the 30-day correlation between Bitcoin and Ether came out to be 0.81. That shows an 81% linear positive correlation between the two assets.

As a result, Bitcoin's ability to enter price discovery opens up similar prospects for Ether, which still trades a few hundred dollars below its current all-time high of $4,385.

"If BTC broke to new all-time highs, I don't see why ETH wouldn't," commented Rekt Capital, an independent market analyst, adding:

"Turn ~$4,000 into support, and ETH will levitate towards $4,400 for a break to new All-Time Highs."

ETH price ascending triangle setup

ETH's latest pump boosted its year-to-date profits by almost 450%, compared to Bitcoin's 130% returns in the same period. That also raised the possibility of Ether posting better gains than Bitcoin in the coming sessions, thereby achieving levels much higher than Rekt Capital's $4,400-target.

On Wednesday, ETH price broke above the Triangle's upper trendline. Nevertheless, the move upside accompanied lower trading volume, which could see ETH retest the trendline as support in the near term.

As Cointelegraph reported earlier, ETH had been painting an Ascending Triangle structure with a $6,500 upside target.

Ethereum loses key support level as ETH price falls to two-month lows against Bitcoin
Ethereum’s native token, Ether (ETH), rallied by more than 15% in the first 12 days of October. But, compared to Bitcoin’s (BTC) 30% gains in the same period, the second-largest cryptocurrency is currently in a downtrend when priced in BTC. So far into October (and the fourth quarter of 2021), the ETH/BTC exchange rate has plunged by over 12%, reaching 0.060215 BTC for the first time in more than two months on Oct. 12.

Ethereum bulls retain hopes of $10K despite ETH price chart bear flag
Ethereum's native token Ether (ETH) looks poised to extend its selloff this week as it wobbles near a key support level of $4,000. ETH price dropped by over 5.50% on Dec. 6 to an intraday low at $3,913. In doing so, it slipped through upward sloping support that constituted an Ascending Channel that — more or less — appears like a Bear Flag, a bearish continuation setup. Conservative traders typically spot Bear Flags when an instrument consolidates higher inside a parallel channel after a considerable price drop (called Flagpole). They anticipate the price to break below the Flag's lower trendline. …

Ethereum price poised for 40% rally vs. Bitcoin after breaking out of four-month range
Ethereum's native token, Ether (ETH), has the prospect of logging a 40% price rally against its top rival, Bitcoin (BTC), per a classic technical pattern. Dubbed a "symmetrical triangle," the structure develops after the price forms a series of higher lows and lower highs. Doing so results in a convergence of two trendlines with a degree of symmetry, which appears a a triangle. Analysts treat symmetrical triangles as trend continuation indicators — i.e., they usually send prices in the direction of their previous trend following a clear breakout. As a result, the ongoing ETH/BTC price boom could undergo an upside …
