Overall, ETH has finally started regaining its bullish momentum after spending the last half of March in a retracement from $1,940 to $1,550, resulting in a loss of over 20 percent. After support was found at the $1,550 mark, ETH consolidated for a day and finally started pushing higher.
The first resistance was met at the $1,725 mark, and once it was broken, ETH/USD saw a quick jump higher of over 10 percent towards the previous major resistance at $1,850. After a small retracement earlier this week, ETH pushed higher yesterday and reached the several-week high of $1,940, which is the last resistance before the all-time high of $2,040.
Right now, the short-term ETH price action looks to turn bearish again as further upside is rejected. ETH/USD has already returned below the $1,940 and looks to close the current 4-hour candle as a bearish pin bar, signaling a reversal and an overextension for the current wave to the upside.
Therefore, the ETH price will likely retrace over the next 24 hours, with the closest support located at $1,850, which previously served as a resistance. From there, ETH will likely consolidate for some time as it prepares to retest the all-time high at $2,040 finally. This means that a long position taken from the $1,850 support could lead to a quick 10 percent gain if we consider the $2,040 level as the target price for the next wave higher.
ETH Price Prediction: Conclusion
ETH price prediction is bearish as the ETH price action momentum is exhausted after retesting $1,940 resistance. This exhaustion should lead ETH towards retracing lower over the next 24 hours. If support is found at the $1,850 previous resistance, we are likely to see ETH push towards the all-time high of $2,010 over the following days.
