Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe also suggested to investors that $1,190 would be a good level for longs on Ethereum. However, despite the positive signs from the markets, indices as well as the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) show weakness. A fall in DXY below 104 or whale accumulation could confirm a massive rally.

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital suggests that investors can buy Ethereum near $1,170 for the long term. Bitcoin price holding above $17,150 will be key for confirmation of an upcoming rally.
