Ethereum’s price trajectory has taken on a decisively bullish tone with its movement in the past 24 hours. Now, technical patterns are pointing to the possibility of a rally that would not only push it past its current all-time high of $4,878, but also carry it to as high as $8,500. A recent analysis by TradingView analyst melikatrader94 points to the formation of a Right-Angle Broadening Formation (RABF) on the daily candlestick chart, a rare but powerful continuation setup that has been in play since March 2024. The Mechanics Of Ethereum’s Current Bull Run Ethereum’s price action in the past few days has been very notable in terms of bullishness. The leading altcoin is currently up by 20% and 45% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. This powerful upswing has pushed Ethereum to its highest price point since the peaks of the 2021 bull market.

This RABF pattern is characterized by a horizontal resistance zone, now situated between $4,200 and $4,300, and a downward-sloping support trendline, which indicates that buyers are becoming increasingly aggressive with each pullback to reach the resistance again. The last time Ethereum bounced off this support trendline was in early April 2025, when it reached a low of $1,470. Since then, it has increased by about 194% up until the time of writing, where it is now attempting to break above the upper trendline. Price Target And What Needs To Happen According to the measured move principle, the breakout target is derived from the pattern’s vertical height, which is roughly $2,070. Adding this vertical height to the breakout level at $4,300 results in an initial price objective of $6,370. However, a strong bullish momentum beyond that milestone would see Ethereum extend its rally to as high as $8,500.

According to the analyst, this would set off a rapid advance with only a brief consolidation near the $5,100 mark before resuming its upward move. On the other hand, support levels to watch are at $3,700, then $3,200 in case Ethereum fails to hold above $4,300 and extend its rally. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,320, up by 1.1% in the past 24 hours. Interestingly, this move has seen Ethereum outperforming other top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana, which are down by 2.2%, 3.5%, and 4% in the past 24 hours.
