The Ethereum price has followed Bitcoin’s trajectory recently, with the pump from last week eventually pushing the altcoin above $2,400. This was a welcome change for investors after a drawn-out downtrend. Now, the price has begun to stabilize, looking toward more sideways movement in the time being. This means that the Ethereum price is about to enter an important timeframe, where the decision between the bears and the bulls will eventually be made. Ethereum Price Still Chasing Liquidity According to the crypto analyst TheChartWhisperr on the TradingView website, the Ethereum price has done something important, and that is sweeping the liquidity pool in the higher timeframe. They saw the test of the $2,480 level, although the price was ultimately rejected. Nevertheless, the crypto analyst explains that this means that the Ethereum price has taken out the bayside pool. Related Reading: Dogecoin Nears Key Turning Point As TCT Model Begins To Form With the move into the higher timeframe lucidity and the eventual rejection, which was swift, the crypto analyst says this has now pushed the Ethereum price into an ascending channel. This channel lies around the $2,346 level and could hold the price down. Interestingly, the analyst says that this move has led to the completion and confirmation of a turtle soup pattern. With a completion, it means that the Ethereum price could be ready to play out the rest of the pattern, and it could go either way for the cryptocurrency. First, there is the possibility that the Ethereum price continues to move upward, and this happens if it is able to reclaim $2,385 on the 4-Hour close. If this happens, then the crypto analyst says that the uptrend could continue for the price. However, there is also the possibility that the bears are able to pull the price downward. The $2,040 currently serves as a gravitational target, meaning that the bears could pull it toward this level. This is because this is where the Ethereum price will find equilibrium again in the event of another crash.
