intraday rebound, but ETH remains neutral

After this weekend marked by record liquidations, Ethereum (ETH) already seems intent on absorbing the losses in a short time.

Multi-timeframe Technical Analysis of Ethereum (ETH)

D1 (daily) – neutral with a consolidation bias

On the daily timeframe, Ethereum is priced at 4165.03, below the EMA 20 (4260.20) and the EMA 50 (4247.62), but remains above the EMA 200 (3564.62).
This setup indicates a consolidation phase after an underlying trend that is still intact above the 200.

The RSI at 46.94 is below 50 and indicates a balance slightly favorable to sellers, but without extremes.

The MACD is negative (line -59.10, signal -22.35, histogram -36.74), consistent with a loss of bullish momentum.

The Bollinger Bands show a median at 4242.31, higher than the price: as long as ETH remains below the median, the risk of further sideways movement persists.
The ATR at 267.85 confirms a significant daily volatility.

Daily Pivot:

  • PP: 4167.33
  • R1: 4218.59
  • S1: 4113.77

H1 (hourly) – rebound testing the EMA 200

On the hourly timeframe, the price is 4166.68, above EMA 20 (4078.80) and EMA 50 (4013.84), but slightly below EMA 200 (4193.56).

The chart indicates an intraday rebound, with the hourly 200 as dynamic resistance.
RSI at 67.99 → predominance of buyers.
MACD near breakeven (line 74.28, signal 76.54, histogram -2.25) → the bullish momentum is losing pace.

Bollinger Bands (H1):

  • Median 4079.38
  • High 4315.00
  • Low 3843.75

The price is in the upper part: a convincing breakthrough of the 200 hourly could open towards 4194.30 (R1 H1).
ATR: 53.81 → manageable intraday volatility.

M15 – short-term bullish bias

In the short term, ETH at 4166.10 remains above EMA 20 (4143.99), EMA 50 (4115.30), and EMA 200 (4005.67).

RSI 60.24 and positive MACD (line 3.44, signal 2.87, histogram 0.57) → constructive momentum.

Bollinger Bands (M15):

  • Median 4148.80
  • High 4187.06
  • Low 4110.55

The price is near the upper band: watch out for possible pullbacks towards the median if the breakout of 4180.83 (R1 M15) fails.

ATR 18.20: short-term fluctuations contained.

Operational Scenarios

Bullish

First signal: stable recovery above PP D1 (4167.33) and surpassing EMA 50 D1 (4247.62).

Confirmation: hourly closes above 4194.30 (R1 H1) and attack on the Bollinger median D1 (4242.31).

Target:

  • 4218.59 (R1 D1)
  • Upper band D1: 4751.83

Invalid if: the price consistently falls below 4127.95 (S1 H1).

Bearish

Weakness signal: below 4153.74 (S1 M15) with acceleration below 4113.77 (S1 D1).

In that case, risk of testing the lower Bollinger band D1 (3732.79) in the following sessions.

Invalid with: recovery above 4194.30 (R1 H1) and D1 closings above EMA 50 (4247.62).

Neutral (main scenario)

As long as the price remains between 4113.77 and 4218.59 on the D1, with RSI around 50 and MACD negative but not in strong divergence, the base scenario remains consolidation.

The lower timeframes (H1, M15) show tactical rebounds, but for a structural change, closures above the EMA 20/50 D1 are needed.

Market Context

The total capitalization of the crypto market is 4,003,646,801,871 USD (+4.58% 24h).
