Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) has crossed the $4,400 mark, with traders eyeing a possible to run to all-time highs despite concerns about a short-term dip.
What Happened: Chart analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that ETH has been consolidating between resistance at $4,332 and support near $4,165.
Martinez notes the market is in a “wait-and-see” mode, with a fresh daily TD Sequential sell signal pointing to a likely pullback toward $4,165 or possibly lower.
He adds that the bearish outlook will be invalidated if Ethereum closes above $4,370 on the 4-hour chart, potentially signalling renewed bullish momentum.
Analyst Michael van de Poppe called Martinez’s detailed post “a reasonable concern.” He added that testing support near $4,100, just below current levels, could trigger a deeper correction, especially if macro conditions remain weak.
A dip into the $3,600–$3,800 range would align with previous support zones and could serve as a healthy retracement before further upside.
