Much like Bitcoin, Ethereum has faced significant challenges in recent months, struggling to sustain a major price rally. After peaking at over $4,000 in March, Ethereum has been falling steadily, failing to break out of this bearish trend.
So far, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has seen its price drop by over 5.9% in the past two weeks and continues to hover around $2,400. Currently trading at $2,434, Ethereum has dropped 2.4% in the past week and 0.4% in the past 24 hours.
Is a bounce to $4,000 imminent?
Despite the slowdown, market analysts remain optimistic about a possible turnaround. According to a recent article by “The Moon” on X, Ethereum could be ready to rally to $4,000, if certain technical conditions are met.
In particular, The Moon highlighted Ethereum’s current 1D Falling Wedge formation, a common chart pattern in technical analysis that often indicates a potential reversal. The analyst said, “Once a breakout occurs, there is a strong possibility that Ethereum will rally back to $4,000.”
To put things into context, a falling wedge in technical analysis is a pattern in which the price of an asset is in a downtrend but within an increasingly narrowing range.
This pattern usually suggests that the downward momentum is weakening and that once the price breaks above the wedge, a reversal could occur. This is what The Moon predicts for Ethereum: a possible breakout could lead to a return to previous highs.
Ethereum Sees Rising Bullish Sentiments
Meanwhile, other analysts in the crypto community have shared similar bullish sentiments about Ethereum’s future performance. Popular crypto analyst Crypto Jack pointed out that Ethereum’s price is approaching a key long-term support level.
Jack said a rebound from $2,200 could signal a strong reversal and potentially lead to an uptrend. This long-term support level could be crucial for Ethereum as it attempts to regain momentum after weeks of lackluster performance.

Crypto analyst Mags, who recently noted on X that Ethereum is currently trading inside a massive triangle pattern, reinforces the bullish outlook.
According to Mags, this formation, combined with the possibility of a double bottom near the ascending trendline, could signal that Ethereum is ready for a significant upward move.
A double bottom occurs when an asset forms two lows at approximately the same price level, indicating strong support and the potential for a bullish reversal.
