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. Related Reading: Pundit Says Ethereum Price Is Headed For $9,000 After This Broadening Wedge Retest According to the technical analysis in question, which was initially shared by melikatrader94 on the TradingView platform, Ethereum is now playing out the last phase of an RABF pattern that has dragged on for many months. 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.

Gert van Lagen says the macro structure of XRP has finally done the one thing it needed to do: break the neckline of a seven-year base and hold it. “XRP [2W] – Ripple is ready to rip. The 7-year double bottom has broken out at ❌ The neckline was successfully retested at ???? ATH cleared — first target near ~$34, at 2.00 fib. extension of double bottom. → Compare with 2014–2017 setup,” the analyst wrote. His chart is drawn on a logarithmic scale with two-week candles, framing the move as a multi-cycle reversal rather than a short-term pop. Could XRP Really Hit $34? The geometry is clear on the chart. A broad W-shaped base stretching from the 2018–2024 bear market carved twin lows in the sub-$0.20–$0.30 region, then returned to a horizontal neckline that sits just above the $2 handle. Van Lagen marks an initial breakout attempt with a red cross just over that barrier, followed by a decisive surge and a pullback that tags support around the $2 area, annotated with a blue dot. On a log chart, that textbook breakout-retest sequence is the confirmation step technicians typically look for before projecting targets. Price at the time of the snapshot is labeled $3.19 on the right axis, meaning XRP is trading above the neckline but still below the 2018 all-time high at $3.40. That placement matters because the prior macro cap now acts as support; staying north of roughly $2.00 keeps the double-bottom thesis intact. The measured arrow drawn from the neckline replicates the height of the base on a multiplicative (log) basis, which is why the upside extension leaps into the mid-double digits rather than adding only a few dollars. Related Reading: BlackRock Addresses Burning XRP ETF Question: Is A Filing Coming Or Not? Van Lagen’s first objective is derived explicitly from Fibonacci proportions. He sets the 2.00 extension of the double-bottom as the initial target, landing “near ~$34.” On his scale the projected path peaks above the $27 and $20 grid lines and briefly tags the mid-$30s before mean-reverting, consistent with how log-scale extensions translate when a long consolidation unwinds quickly. The left side of the graphic provides the historical rhyme he wants readers to notice. Between 2014 and 2017, XRP built a smaller double-bottom within a shaded accumulation zone, broke its neckline, retested it, and then accelerated vertically. Van Lagen marks that sequence with the same red cross at breakout and blue dot at the retest, plus a vertical measuring arrow to illustrate how the earlier base resolved. The current pattern, shaded across 2018–2025, repeats that choreography at a far larger scale. His sketch includes a time-and-price roadmap using twelve forward candles—two-week bars—implying a five- to six-month arc for the entire move if it were to echo the prior cycle. The first projected bar vaults XRP above $11. After three candles, the blue path tops out above $36, roughly six weeks into the run. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Explode To $3.8 Amid Trend Continuation The fourth candle traces a deep retracement back toward the $11 region, followed by a sharp recovery above $30 on the fifth. The next three candles stabilize around the $30 area before the path draws another slide to ~$11 and the onset of a cooling phase. The sequence is illustrative rather than prescriptive, but it visually anchors the extension math to possible market behavior. Whether XRP can follow the steep path sketched in blue is a separate question from whether the double-bottom has technically activated. Van Lagen’s chart answers the second with a yes: the breakout and retest sequence is complete. The first answer—delivery toward the ~$34 Fib extension—will be determined by how the next several two-week candles will look like. At press time, XRP traded at $3.14.
