Ethereum Price Will Still Climb Above $5,000 As Long As It Holds This Level

The Ethereum price has spent the past weeks stuck in a wide consolidation zone, testing bullish momentum as analysts anticipate its next big breakout. One market expert has highlighted a critical level for ETH, suggesting that as long as the second-largest cryptocurrency can hold above this level, its path to surpassing the $5,000 milestone remains intact. 

Ethereum Price Faces Critical Level At $4,400

According to market expert Daan Crypto Trades on X social media, Ethereum’s recent price action has been choppy following two slow weeks of trading. The analyst’s chart shows that ETH has oscillated between $4,100 and $4,800, with several stop hints and liquidity grabs creating false moves on both the bullish and bearish side. 

Despite these fluctuations, the $4,400 zone, which sits around the 200-day Moving Average (MA) on the 4-hour chart, continues to act as the key support level that stands between ETH and the $5,000 milestone. Daan Crypto Trades noted that this critical support is not just technical but also aligns with strong accumulation levels. 

The analyst highlighted that Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (BMNR) has been steadily adding to positions, though at a slightly lower pace as Net Asset Value (NAV) flows ease. This shows that as long as Ethereum can maintain its price above the $4,400 support level, buyers may remain in control. The chart clearly illustrates this battle for support. ETH’s dips below $4,500 have so far been short-lived, with price consistently bouncing back into the consolidation range. 

This repeated defense strengthens the case for Ethereum to sustain its momentum and build the foundation for a run above $5,000. For now, patient accumulation within the consolidation zone appears to be the market’s strategy as the cryptocurrency gears up for a potential breakout once broader conditions align. 

$5,000 Is Only A Matter Of Time

In a follow-up analysis, Daan Crypto Trades reinforced his bullish view, noting that Ethereum is essentially in a “$5,000 waiting room.” The analyst’s chart highlights this view, showing ETH rebounding strongly after retesting the $4,400 region. With both the 200 MA and 200 EMA on the 4-hour chart acting as underlying support, the cryptocurrency’s structure appears intact despite short-term volatility. 

Daan Crypto Trades suggested that while a retest of $4,000 – $4,100 is still possible, the market is unlikely to sustain a breakdown below that zone as long as ETH holds $4,400. In other words, maintaining this critical support could pave the way for new all-time highs. 

The chart also reflected the market’s resilience, with ETH rejecting the lows and quickly climbing back toward $4,600. Such a rebound often signals that bulls may be preparing for the next leg higher. If the momentum continues, Ethereum retesting its former all-time high of $4,868 and breaking above $5,000 may only be a matter of time.
