Ethereum could surge to $4,500 amid bullish indicators
The ETH/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient despite Ether adding 5% to its value in the last 24 hours. The technical indicators suggest that Ether could face further buying pressure thanks to its rally.
Ether’s price surged by 5% last week, closing the weekly candle above the 50-day EMA at $4,129 on Sunday. It briefly climbed to $4,206 on Monday before retracing to now trading around $4,160.
The RSI of 67 shows a bullish momentum, with the MACD lines flashing a buying signal in the last few days. If Ether breaks and closes above its daily resistance of $4,232, it could continue its rally towards the next major resistance and TLQ level at $4,529. An extended bullish run could allow Ether to reclaim its recent high above $4,700.
However, if Ether faces a correction following its recent run, it could dip towards the major support level at $3,593.
