Ethereum price at inflection point
Ethereum price has rallied 37% since January 1 and shows no signs of slowing down even as it pierces through a daily supply zone that extends from $1,515 to $1,679. This exponential move has Bitcoin to thank for initiating this run-up.
Furthermore, the speculation on Ethereum price is relatively higher compared to other altcoins due to the upcoming Shanghai hard fork. All-in-all, this rally was impressive but ETH bulls face a tough decision - overcome $1,679 and continue its rally or retrace due to exhaustion.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has extended into the overbought zone. The last time Ethereum price has such a huge spike in momentum was in August 2021, when ETH kick-started its ascent to $4,900.
Ideally, a retracement to stable support levels should occur before a further run-up. A confirmation of a pullback will occur if Ethereum price starts to form a local top in the aforementioned supply zone. In such a case, ETH will eye a retest of $1,820 and $2,013 hurdles, respectively.
ETH/USDT 1-day chart
While the bullish outlook does look apparent, investors need to exercise caution, especially after such a massive bear market rally. If Ethereum price produces daily candlestick close below $1,514, it will be the first sign of a reversal.
In such a case, if Ethereum price sets up a lower low below the said supply zone, it will add confirmation to the bullish exhaustion. This development should see ETH target the $1,331 support level, allowing bulls to recuperate for the next Ethereum price rally.
