In the times when Bitcoin, XRP, Solana, etc., and many more have been demonstrating immense strength, Ethereum remains stuck within a narrow range. This raises concerns over the next price action that remains uncertain for the crypto. Meanwhile, the technicals continue to remain bullish for the ETH price, which is believed to rise to $5000 or $8000 in the next bullish wave. Currently, the price appears to be at the foothill of an explosion and a breakout is inevitable.
Bitcoin has been recording massive moves in recent times and being different from the previous trend, Ethereum has decoupled lately. The ETH price followed the BTC price rally very closely but since the start of 2024, their correlation has dropped to a large extent. In times when Bitcoin is flashing massive bullish waves, Ethereum displays the possibility of a significant pullback.
Trump launched a new memecoin on Solana that is attracting massive liquidity from the entire market. Besides, the trading volume over Solana DEX peaks close to $10 billion for the first time, which is more than half of the entire DEX volume. Besides, the DEX volume over Ethereum has dropped notably below $3 billion from the interim highs close to $6 billion. This has also raised some speculation of traders selling their ETH for SOL in order to buy TRUMP.
Regardless of this, the ETH price rally remains still within a bullish pattern, hinting towards a potential rebound very soon. Meanwhile, the technicals have flashed bearish signals, which may put the ETH price in deep trouble.
The daily chart of ETH suggests the price is facing massive pressure from both sides this week and hence a weekly close could decide the next course of action. Meanwhile, the DMI levels have reached a crucial point where the -Di is about to surpass the +Di, validating a bearish flip. On the other hand, the MACD is closer to a bearish crossover as the weekly buying volume fades. Therefore, there are a lot of changes in the ETH price plummeting below $3000 this weekend. However, the support zone between $2918 and $2823 may offer a strong base to trigger a rebound.
Hence, the Ethereum (ETH) price rally continues to remain bullish as the target at $5000 remains active as the trade remains stuck within a decisive symmetrical triangle.
