Ethereum price analysis: ETH slowly consolidates around $1,250, spike higher incoming?

Ethereum price analysis is bullish today as we have seen consolidation around $1,250 after buyers failed to return overnight. Therefore, the current quick retest of previous support will likely be enough for ETH/USD to rapidly continue higher over the next 24 hours.

ETH/USD 4-hour chart: ETH prepares to continue higher?

On the 4-hour chart, we can see quick retest of previous lows, likely as Ethereum price is ready to continue higher and look to recover above $1,350 resistance.

Ethereum price action has traded with strong selling pressure over the past days. After the last push lower on Wednesday, ETH/USD bounced from $1,100 support and established the current major swing low.

From there, ETH quickly recovered to $1,350, indicating a strong reversal signal for the upcoming week. Steady retrace and consolidation around $1,250 further confirmed the fact that reversal will play out over the rest of the month.

Currently, Ethereum price tests the downside around $1,200 support with low momentum, likely leading to reversal soon. Therefore, ETH/USD is ready to push even higher as local low is set in a clear way. Once buying pressure returns, we expect next week to start with another wave higher.

Ethereum price analysis: Conclusion 

Ethereum price analysis is bullish today as we have seen consolidation over the past days form a strong higher local low. Likely ETH/USD will soon continue higher from there, and look to reach the $1,400 next resistance.
