Ethereum Reclaims $2,000: Is a Surge to $2,400 Now Inevitable?

by
  • Ethereum did a spectacular little hop from a nasty dip that pushed it down to the $1,800 “please help me” zone, and voila, here we are-back above $2,000, like it never happened.
  • Analyst Ted, who seems to be the oracle of crypto these days, says $2,150 is the magic number. A nice little close above that could send ETH rocketing to $2,400. Hold your horses!
  • Funding rates are all positive again, which could mean that all those pesky short sellers are finally out of the picture. Long live the bulls!

Ethereum has done a neat little job of reclaiming that $2,000 level, leaving the question: Can it leap to $2,400 next? Let’s rewind to last month when ETH fell off the edge of the $2,800-$3,000 cliff and hit that $1,800 low. Cue the buyers charging in like knights in shining armor.

Currently, ETH is bouncing around at $2,015.97, a lovely 4.79% increase in just a week. Not bad for a coin that was seen crying in the corner just a few days ago.

With a 24-hour trading volume of around $29.5 billion, the real question is whether this momentum has enough spunk to keep going.

Reclaiming $2,000 Raises the Stakes for Ethereum

$2,000 isn’t just any number for Ethereum. It’s a structural pivot that signals a potential exit from the dark alley of sustained selling pressure. Let’s not forget, it was also the floor after ETH plummeted from the $2,800-$3,000 zone.

ETH fell hard, landing in the $1,800 demand zone like a stone sinking into a pond. That’s when buyers saw the bargain and swooped in. Sellers looked tired, like they’d just finished running a marathon.

Breaking above $2,000 now means ETH might just be getting its act together and stepping into the stabilization zone. But don’t break out the champagne just yet-it’s a recovery phase, and the first step is holding above $2,000.

$2,150 Holds the Answer to the $2,400 Question

Enter Ted, our crypto wizard. He points out that the next hurdle is $2,150. If ETH manages to clear that, we’re in for a wild ride toward $2,400. No pressure, ETH!

ETH has reclaimed the $2,000 level.

The next crucial level is $2,150, and if Ethereum reclaims it, expect a rally towards the $2,400 level.

The $2,150 level is critical-it’s where the last breakdown started, and also where all those poor trapped longs are, creating an “overhead supply.” So, if ETH closes above $2,150 on strong volume, we’ll know the bulls have truly absorbed the pressure.

Anything less, and ETH might be stuck bopping between $2,000 and $2,150, like a kid stuck in traffic on the way to school.

Funding Rate Data Adds Context to the Recovery

Our friend PelinayPA is back, waving the funding rate flag. After the sell-off, funding rates dipped so low, you could almost hear the bears laughing. But now, with positive rates, it’s a sign that those bears might have given up.

Still, don’t get too excited. Just because funding rates are positive doesn’t mean the bull run has officially begun. It just means that there’s space for some short-term stability. But, let’s be honest, we’re all waiting for the next big leap.

Excessively positive funding rates, though, could be dangerous. A long squeeze could be lurking around the corner, just waiting to ruin the party.

A Path to $2,400 Exists, But Risks Remain

Yes, the road to $2,400 is clearly marked. Analysts love talking about the “breakdown-reclaim-rotation” pattern, which sounds far too dramatic for a cryptocurrency but hey, it’s got legs. If ETH can go from $2,000 to $2,150, and then finally to $2,400, we might just see a change in Ethereum’s market mood.

But-cue dramatic music-the road to $2,400 is filled with risks. If ETH drops below $2,000 again, expect a return to $1,800, with $1,650-$1,700 lurking as the next support levels.

And let’s not forget the $2,500 resistance. We’ll need to break that before anyone dares to claim a full-blown bullish reversal. So, while a surge to $2,400 sounds exciting, let’s not jump the gun just yet. It all hinges on that pesky $2,150.
