Ethereum’s Price Action
Ethereum's ETH price is looking highly bullish now as the price has broken out of its consolidation zone. ETH’s price has been trying to break out of its current consolidation zone for a while as you can see from the chart below, however bulls never had the momentum on their side.
However, it seems like that has changed and ETH traders have one important price point in mind and that is a break above the precious all time high. It is very possible that we may see the ETH price breaking above 5K if the momentum continues; and in fact, the 10K target for ETH is also looking much more realistic now.
