Ethereum (ETH) Price Eyes Breakout Above $4,000

Rekt Capital, a prominent crypto analyst, stated that Ethereum (ETH) requires a weekly close above $3956 to move into the $4000+ range. Currently, ETH is forming a lower high, but it has spent significant time around the $2791 level, historically a precursor to an upside movement back to approximately $4000.

Rekt Capital emphasized that a weekly close above the orange box level is inevitable and will confirm that the bulls have regained momentum. The analyst’s observations highlight the critical thresholds ETH must surpass to continue its bullish trajectory.

Soon after the news of the spot Ether ETF last week, the ETH price consolidated for a while before resuming the recent uptrend. On the weekly chart, Ethereum poses a healthy 27% gain suggesting a solid uptrend going ahead.
