Ethereum (ETH) is once again in the spotlight after a sharp rebound fueled by unusual buying activity. Ethereum (ETH) is moving inside a descending channel and is once again testing the upper levels of resistance, with its price currently at $4,271, a modest 1.58% appreciation in the past 24 hours. 

Meanwhile, a Top analyst highlights a key signal suggesting that ETH is ready to break the next major target could be $5,600.

Ethereum Consolidating Sideways

According to analyst Ali Martinez, Ethereum is stuck in a tight range. The upper boundary sits at $4,342, while support lies at $4,219. This price action shows the market is waiting for a clear signal before making its next big move.

If ETH manages to break above $4,342, it could trigger a bullish continuation. The next potential targets would be $4,516 and $4,623, levels that align with Fibonacci retracement marks on the chart.

On the flip side, if ETH fails to hold $4,219, selling pressure could quickly increase. The chart suggests downside targets at $4,061 and $3,862. These levels could be tested as the descending channel trend continues to guide price lower.

Ethereum Eying $5600 Level

Supporting this bullish outlook, popular crypto trader Ted shared charts showing Ethereum breaking out of its downward channel and consolidating near key resistance levels.

Analysts highlight that the next major target could be $5,600, a level projected before any significant correction is likely.

Government & Whales Buying ETH

Further, trader Ted also highlighted reports showing that the U.S. Government recently purchased $332,460 worth of Ethereum, increasing its total holdings to an estimated $281 million in ETH.

At the same time, Ethereum whales opened $300 million in long positions, backed by heavy USDC inflows. Such rare moves show strong confidence in a major ETH rally and often signal wider market trends.
