Ethereum Breaks $3000 In Bullish Wave 3 After Weekend Gap
The Ethereum (ETH/USD) daily price chart is showing massive bullish momentum. The break away from the moving averages is strong and the angle of the 21 EMAs and 20 HMA is steep (ETH-X).
As mentioned in our previous analysis, price action managed to complete its correction at the 21 EMAs and support trend line (green) for a continuation higher. Let’s now review the next steps.
Price Charts and Technical Analysis
The ETH/USD gapped higher over the weekend. The price action reached is now passing the -61.8% Fibonacci target (orange) after bouncing at the 38.2% Fibonacci level:
- The current push up is confirming a strong rally – see the bars and lines on the AO and ecs.MACD (pink box) – within waves 3 (purple/red).
- Also the moving averages (MAs) are confirming a full uptrend. The MAs are aligned, show a strong bullish angle, and the distance between them is increasing.
- We can evaluate today’s daily candlestick when the candle closes.
- A strong candle close indicates that the bulls are fully in control and a push higher is likely (green arrow)
- A weaker candle close indicates that a pullback or a pauыe could take place first. But the uptrend is so strong that a continuation higher is expected (blue arrow).
- The next Fibonacci target is located at the -100% Fib level near $3,500.
On the 4 hour chart, price action made a wave 1-2 (orange) pullback indeed after completing an ABC (orange) pattern in wave 4 (grey):
- The current bullish move up is typical for a wave 3 (orange).
- Price action has already passed the -261.8% Fibonacci target for instance.
- And also, the angle of the price swing is very steep.
- A pullback does not have to be a wave 4 (orange) of this degree. It could easily be a pullback on a lower degree before the wave 3 (orange) is ready.
- Eventually price action will complete a wave 3 (orange) and a pullback to and bounce at the 21 УЬФs and Fibonacci levels around $2900, $3000, and $3250 (in case price reaches $3500) is likely.
