The recent rebound from the 100-day MA suggests growing demand, pushing the price toward the upper boundary of this range.<\/p>\n<p>A breakout above the $3.5K threshold would likely signal a bullish trend continuation, targeting the $4K swing high. However, a rejection at this level could lead to a period of heightened volatility and potential consolidation near the current range. The next few days will be pivotal in shaping ETH\u2019s trajectory, with a breakout appearing increasingly probable given the prevailing bullish sentiment.<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-scaled.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-380441\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-1024x523.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-1536x784.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-2048x1046.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-D-8-50x26.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The 4-Hour Chart<\/h3>\n<p>On the lower timeframe, Ethereum recently consolidated around the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level ($3.2K), signaling a balance between buyers and sellers. Subsequently, the asset gained upward momentum, slightly breaching the descending wedge\u2019s upper boundary and confirming a short-term bullish reversal.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this progress, Ethereum encounters a robust resistance zone at $3.5K, where significant supply pressure could emerge. A likely scenario involves a brief surge to this level and a pullback toward the wedge\u2019s broken upper boundary to validate the breakout. Should this pullback attract sufficient buying interest, Ethereum could reclaim the $3.5K level, setting the stage for a rally toward the $4K resistance zone.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming price action will be critical, with Ethereum\u2019s ability to clear the $3.5K resistance determining the sustainability of its bullish momentum.<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-scaled.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-380439\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-1024x523.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-1536x784.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-2048x1046.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ETH-4H-8-50x26.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Onchain Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/shayan-navabi-522107248\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Shayan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The open interest metric, which tracks the number of active futures contracts across all exchanges, has been on a steady rise in recent weeks, reaching its highest values. This indicates growing participation in the futures market, with traders aggressively opening new long positions.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, there is a divergence between Ethereum\u2019s price and futures market activity. Despite the significant increase in open interest, the price has yet to break its previous highs, showcasing a potential imbalance between market expectations and price action.<\/p>\n<p>The elevated open interest signals a higher likelihood of liquidation cascades, which often accompany sudden price movements. This could result in an explosive short-term price action, with the market likely choosing a decisive direction.<\/p>\n<p>While the direction of the breakout remains uncertain, the prevailing sentiment and activity suggest a bullish breakout as the most probable scenario.
