By John Isige Since the beginning of the month, the ETH/USD pair has been attempting to reverse its long-term downtrend: the price has already reached an eight-week high and is approaching the key bullish level of 2000.00 (Murrey level [8/8], middle line of the Bollinger Bands, W1). A confirmed breakout above this level would allow the pair to test the targets at 2250.00 (Murrey level [+2/8]) and 2500.00 (Murrey level [4/8], W1). The key support zone for the bears is located at 1817.00–1750.00 (middle line of the Bollinger Bands, Murrey level [6/8]). A breakdown below this area would signal a resumption of the decline towards 1500.00 (Murrey level [4/8]) and 1250.00 (Murrey level [2/8]).

For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer. Macro still matters too: rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite shape inflows and outflows. Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
