Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $1,807.99, consolidating in a tight range after a sharp recovery from its April lows. The 4-hour chart shows ETH holding above both the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) at $1,700.49 and the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA) at $1,783.99—two key dynamic support levels that are now being retested as the asset tries to build bullish structure.
While price action remains choppy, ETH appears to be forming a base above the $1,780 zone. The recent breakout above the downtrend line that defined price action since December 2024 is still intact, suggesting that Ethereum may be preparing for a larger move. Volume has decreased slightly during this consolidation phase, typical of a market waiting for a trigger.
Ethereum continues to trade well below the psychological $2,000 resistance, but short-term momentum is slowly favoring the bulls. A break above the $1,860–$1,880 range could clear the way for a push to retest $2,000. However, failure to hold the 200 EMA could send ETH back toward the $1,740–$1,700 demand zone.
