Ethereum (ETH) Price On Track For $4k As Bulls Take Control
  • ETH price is set for massive rally as the chart shows an inverted head and shoulders pattern.
  • On January 3rd, the total net inflow of Ethereum spot ETF was $58.79 Million.

Ethereum (ETH) price has shown robust bullish momentum of late. Following a consolidation breakout beyond $3500, Ethereum price action witnessed fresh buying interest. A rally toward $4000 could be seen soon.

At press time, ETH price was trading at $3613, noting flat movements with a decline of over 0.21%. Its trading volume slipped over 12% and the market cap stood at $435.25 Billion. Over the past seven days, Ethereum price surged by more than 6.60% and showed signs of bullish momentum.

But with all eyes on its recent price surge, the question arises, can this momentum persist?

Ethereum’s Technical Outlook Reveals Strength

On the technical front, the Ethereum price chart shows an inverted head and shoulders pattern and paints a bullish picture.

Starting from the low of around $1,985, Ethereum’s price formed the “head” of the pattern in October, rallying to the neckline near $4,000 before pulling back to form the “right shoulder” at a higher low. This indicated increasing market confidence.

The pattern’s neckline was around $4K and a move beyond it could confirm the pattern, which could pave the way towards $7,250.

Along with overall bullish sentiment, the pattern underscores a positive momentum and could drive a fresh wave of buying interest.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) line had a reading of 55 represents an up move on the chart. It hints at a hidden bullish divergence and could fuel bullish swings ahead.

Analysis of Ethereum ETF revealed that on January 3rd, there were large net balances of $58.79 Million.

This increase, mainly driven by the BlackRock ETF ETHA, which made $33.88 Million alone, pushed the ETHAs total inflow to $3.559 Billion.

This may have boosted the market dominance of Ethereum, as its price on that day reached $3,600.57.

This could signal growing institutional interest in Ethereum, potentially stabilizing and driving the price further.

Future implications hinge on sustained inflow levels; if they remain robust, Ethereum could see continued upward momentum.

However, any reversal on these inflows can reverse this outlook, that requires some prudence in trading strategies.

Futures Market Data Outlook

ETH’s Futures Open Interest rose by 0.25% to $27.05 Billion, Coinglass data shows. It represents a sign of bullish sentiment that long positions have been flooding the market.

With the Long/Short Ratio of 0.9771, ETH’s derivatives data indicates a neutral outlook. Additionally, recent liquidations data shows a bullish bias.

Liquidations of long positions reached $5.28 Million, while short liquidations totaled just $478k.

This imbalance indicates that while some traders are taking profits, the majority of traders remained optimistic for further price increase.

Therefore, as long as ETH price sustains above the $3500 mark, the bullish sentiment may continue to drive price higher.
