Ethereum Price Whiskers Away from Forming a Golden Cross 

The daily Ethereum price chart shows that the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is attempting to move above the 200-day SMA. A successful move would form the popular Golden Cross buy signal. This technical formation is viewed by veteran traders as a shift in trend favoring bulls. In the stock market, this signal often marks the start of an extended bull run.

Can ETH Price Skyrocket?

The daily chart indicates that the Relative Strength Index is attempting to break above the 50% mean level. A flip would signal that the bullish momentum is in control and could hint at the upcoming price rally. Moreover, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) has also begun producing green histogram bars below the mean level, indicating a decline in bearish momentum. Both of these signals are good indications that buyers are attempting to push ETH higher, outlining investor interest and breathing hope into the incoming Golden Crossover.

BlackRock Buys $100M ETH, Stirring Institutional & Retail Buying Spree

As noted in a previous CoinGape article, BlackRock’s $100 million buying spree, coupled with a fakeout, suggests that the Ethereum price is poised for a quick uptick. Fidelity also saw $60M in ETF inflows, further outlining institutional interest in ETH as Bitcoin hovers around $106K.

As long as the price is inside the recently formed range, extending from $2,312 to $2,738, the chances of revisiting the range’s upper limit are high.

  • The first key resistance level is $2,738.
  • Beyond this, $3,000 is a key psychological level

Supporting the uptrend is the four-hour RSI, which is stable above the 50 mean level, signaling a strong bullish momentum. The AO is also above the mean level, clearly articulating the buying pressure.
