Ethereum Consolidation Continues – Charts Signal Potential Breakout

Ethereum (ETH) has consolidated since November 12, when it hit a local high of $4,446. Despite Bitcoin’s impressive rally capturing market attention, Ethereum has struggled to maintain upward momentum and reclaim its yearly highs. The price action reflects a period of indecision, as ETH faces challenges in breaking through significant resistance levels that could reignite bullish sentiment. Related Reading: Bitcoin Demand Outweighs Supply As LTH Enter Active Distribution Phase While Ethereum lags behind Bitcoin in performance, analysts remain optimistic about its potential for a breakout. Notably, Carl Runefelt, a prominent crypto analyst, recently shared a technical analysis suggesting that ETH is on the verge of a major move. According to Runefelt, Ethereum must push above a key resistance level to trigger a breakout and rejoin the broader market’s bullish trend. As the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Ethereum’s next steps will be crucial for traders and investors watching the market closely. A breakout above resistance could signal the start of a new upward phase, while continued consolidation might test the patience of market participants. With technical signals aligning and speculation building, Ethereum’s price action in the coming days will likely set the tone for its performance in the weeks ahead. Ethereum Prepares To Surge Ethereum has been underwhelming in its price action since March, struggling to keep pace with Bitcoin’s performance. Despite a few notable surges, ETH has yet to achieve the breakout investors eagerly anticipate.  Related Reading: Solana Analyst Expects A Retrace Before It Breaks ATH – Targets Revealed The prolonged consolidation has frustrated some traders, but an optimistic sentiment remains among those who believe Ethereum is poised for a significant rally once it clears key supply levels. Top crypto analyst Carl Runefelt recently shared his technical analysis on X, highlighting Ethereum’s current position within a bullish flag pattern. According to Runefelt, ETH has attempted to break out of this formation for the past two weeks, facing stiff resistance at critical supply zones. However, he remains confident that it could rapidly surge to $4,150 once Ethereum breaches this level. Such a move would mark a substantial percentage increase from current prices, sparking a wave of investor enthusiasm. The fear of missing out (FOMO) could drive additional buying momentum, creating a self-reinforcing price appreciation cycle. If ETH follows this trajectory, it would confirm the bullish flag breakout and signal Ethereum’s return to a dominant position in the crypto market. ETH Price Action: Technical Details  Ethereum is trading at $3,120 following several days of sideways consolidation below its recent local high of $3,446. Despite the pause in upward momentum, ETH has shown strength by surging above the critical 200-day moving average (MA), currently at $2,957, and maintaining its position above this key technical indicator. The 200-day MA is often a pivotal line between bullish and bearish trends. Ethereum’s ability to stay above it signals robust support from buyers and growing confidence in the market. If ETH continues to hold this level, it could pave the way for a bullish surge, with the first target being the local top at $3,446. Beyond that, a break above this resistance level could see ETH aiming for yearly highs near $4,000, reigniting enthusiasm among traders and investors. Such a move would likely confirm Ethereum’s return to a sustained uptrend, aligning it more closely with Bitcoin’s recent bullish performance.

Ethereum’s price action remains strong, with the market eagerly watching for the next significant move. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Analyst Confirms Dogecoin Price Test Of 0.786 Fibonacci Level, What Happens Next?

The Dogecoin price has been trading sideways for the past few days, consolidating around the $0.4 mark as it targets a breakout to the upside. This $0.4 price point is represented by the 0.786 Fibonacci level, which an analyst has confirmed that Dogecoin continues to test in order to witness a price rally.  Dogecoin Price Targets 0.786 Fib Breakout Kevin, a Dogecoin analyst on X (formerly Twitter), has shared his analysis of the DOGE price action, highlighting a key resistance point that could catalyze the meme coin’s anticipated rally. Given the recent surge in the Dogecoin price this month, many analysts have forecasted that the meme coin is gearing up to hit the $1 ATH.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Possible 40% Crash For XRP Price With Gravestone DOJI Candle Formation Some of these analysts have also suggested that factors like Donald Trump‘s win in the U.S. Presidential election, Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E commission, and growing positive sentiment in the crypto community, could become the critical drivers for the Dogecoin price, pushing it to new highs. Despite this bullish sentiment, the DOGE price continues to trade sideways, struggling to break through the $0.4 price.  Kevin has disclosed that the $0.4 mark is a crucial resistance level for Dogecoin, representing the 0.786 Fib. He highlighted that the Dogecoin price has been testing this critical Fibonacci level but was sharply rejected on November 19. This price rejection is also among several failed attempts in the past few days, as Dogecoin has repeatedly tested this crucial level.  While the optimism for a Dogecoin price surge is high, Kevin has stated that unless the meme coin can break above this crucial resistance level “cleanly and violently,” there’s no reason for investors to expect any major price movement or get overly excited about a potential rally.  The Dogecoin analyst also highlighted a critical resistance level for the Bitcoin price. Kevin has revealed that Bitcoin’s next upside rally will occur once it clears the resistance level at $100,000. The analyst suggests that the market will likely move slowly and remain relatively uneventful until the pioneer meme coin can break past this crucial milestone.  Dogecoin Next Target: Monthly Close Above $0.335 In another X post, Kevin explained the downside target for the Dogecoin price if it fails to break the 0.786 Fib resistance level. He revealed that the DOGE price moment, via its chart, is showcasing a “nasty triple top” at the macro 0.786 Fib level.  Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Could Surge To $138,000 Before Recording A 30% Crash Kevin has predicted that a drop to the $0.30 mark is highly possible for Dogecoin if volatility and market uncertainty persist. This decline could also be triggered by selling pressures and a lack of bullish momentum.  Conversely, the analyst has revealed that the next big rally for Dogecoin could be seen if the meme coin can close a monthly candle above $0.335 in the next 11 days. Kevin has stated that achieving this feat would be a significant milestone, marking Dogecoin’s highest monthly candle close of all time.     Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
