Ethereum Price At Risk Of Crash To $4,000, Is A New ATH Still Possible?

Amid the back and forth that has rocked the crypto market, the Ethereum price has now found itself between a rock and a hard place. Right now, bulls and bears are still locked in a tug-of-war in a quest to take control of the digital asset. Here, there are now multiple levels to watch that could determine the next steps for the Ethereum price. Ethereum Price Close To Critical Demand Zone After falling back below $4,300 over the weekend, the Ethereum price is now trading very close to a critical demand zone. Crypto analyst ProfitMagnet highlights this in a TradingView analysis, showing the possibilities for the Ethereum price as it looks to test this zone.

This has now led to what is the defining factor for the next phase of the move, and whether an uptrend or a downtrend will dominate. Assessing the current momentum, the crypto analyst notes that the recent uptrend was being supported by the bullish trendline starting from the August lows. However, there is still the matter of the bearish trendline that continues to limit the upward momentum, thereby putting a damper on the rally. At this point, it is now simply a matter of what level the Ethereum price retests, and what it successfully breaks through. From here, holding the demand above $4,300 is important if the bulls want to continue the rally. If they are successful, then the analyst does see the Ethereum price making its way back to $4,600-$4,800.

This would happen if bulls were unable to sustain the current demand, leading to a breakdown in the price. From here, the next major level would be the support at $4,000, pushing the Ethereum price toward the next major psychological level. What this trend shows is that while the market is leaning bullish, the bulls still have a relatively weak hold, meaning it could go sideways at any point. “The structure suggests a potential bullish reversal, but confirmation is required with a break of the bearish trendline and demand reaction,” the crypto analyst said.
