The structure appears to follow a wave pattern where a corrective phase may have ended, and a new upward move could be forming.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the 1.618 extension, a target near $4,300 is possible. This setup remains valid while ETH stays above $2,630. If it breaks that level, the outlook weakens. Below $1,390, the structure would be considered invalid.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Don <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DonWedge\/status\/2001217521437806621?s=20\">posted<\/a> a chart showing ETH breaking out from a falling wedge on the 5-day chart. The pattern is known to show up before upward moves. While ETH lost some support on shorter timeframes like the daily and 3-day, longer timeframes are still holding up.<\/p>\n<p>The 5-day and weekly moving averages are acting as a support base around $2,720. The target from this wedge pattern is around $4,400. Price action has slowed, but the setup has not broken down. \u201c<em>It\u2019s just slow cooking for $ETH,<\/em>\u201d Don said, suggesting the move may take time to develop.<\/p>\n<p>On the weekly chart, Man Of Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Manofbitcoin\/status\/2001048386993086969?s=20\">shared<\/a> that the RSI has broken above a downward trendline. He explained that this type of break has, in past cycles, appeared before upward trends. ETH is now trading above some key support zones after a completed correction wave.<\/p>\n<h2>Mixed Signals as Large Buyers Accumulate<\/h2>\n<p>While some charts point to recovery, not all outlooks agree.
