Overall, Ethereum has performed extremely well over the past weeks.After it found support around $1,550 on the 25th of March, the market rallied almost 40 percent.
On the 2nd of April, ETH /USD broke the previous all-time high at $2,040 and moved higher until resistance was met at $2,140.
From there, we saw the Ethereum price momentum shift and retrace to the $2,000 mark.Another attempt to move higher was made over the following hours, with $2,080 acting as a local resistance.ETH /USD reversed and set another higher low, from which the market build-up even stronger momentum and pushed to retest the $2,140 mark again.
During last 24 hours, the Ethereum price action has moved sideways as it trades around the $2,100 mark.Yesterday another quick push lower resulted in a 2nd higher low being set, meaning that an ascending trendline can be drawn from the past three lows.
Therefore, Ethereum currently trades in an ascending triangle pattern, with the $2,140 acting as a resistance and the ascending trendline acting as a support.
Considering the overall bullish momentum, we expect Ethereum price to break higher and set other highs later today.
However, if the ascending trendline and the $2,040 support are broken, ETH /USD could see a much more substantial retracement over the next few days.Next support is located around $1,940, and if reached, it would mean that the current bullish price action momentum has finally been broken.Ethereum Price Prediction: Conclusion
Ethereum price prediction is bullish as the market price action continues setting higher lows.Unless the $2,040 support is broken, we expect another push higher by the end of the day.
