Ethereum (ETH) is showing bullish signs, currently consolidating within a positive trading range. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hasn’t surpassed its peak from April. Despite this, analyst MooninPapa maintains a price target of $1,000 for ETH, even as the stablecoin market remains unstable.
Ethereum is currently fluctuating within a typical daily trading range. Breaking above a recent resistance level for three days suggests that resistance is now considered broken and no longer a barrier. However, despite this, something doesn’t feel quite right.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hasn’t surpassed its peak from April 1st, and this is currently more significant than the price itself. Since the RSI was already showing overbought conditions back on March 16th, there’s a strong possibility this recent price increase will lose steam before it gains significant momentum.
The $1,000 Target Nobody Wants to Talk About
According to a post by MooninPapa on X (formerly Twitter), Ethereum (ETH) is currently maintaining its position within a cloud formation, suggesting a bullish consolidation pattern. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hasn’t surpassed its previous peak. MooninPapa stated simply that he still believes the price will reach $1,000.
Looking at the weekly chart, the situation isn’t much better. While there was a positive signal from the RSI in early March, and the price is making slightly higher lows, this doesn’t necessarily indicate a complete turnaround. The possibility of the price falling to $1,000 still remains.
At first glance, the market appears to be settling into a positive trend, but this could be misleading. While prices are moving upwards within a certain range, the overall pattern isn’t confirmed unless the Relative Strength Index (RSI) surpasses a previous high from April.
Stablecoin Dominance Is Not Cooperating
The share of stablecoins in the market hasn’t increased recently; in fact, it’s fallen below a key low from March 25th. While this isn’t a definitive sign of trouble yet, the situation is becoming uncertain, and many traders, like one X user named MooninPapa, are choosing to wait and see what happens.
Bitcoin‘s dominance increased over the weekend, reaching 68% due to a price surge. Some, like MooninPapa, believe this was a temporary, manipulated move similar to past patterns, as the price quickly fell back down. As a result, alternative cryptocurrencies are now showing signs of further decline.
TOTALES also retreated back into the cloud, another indication that the recent shift in the altcoin market is still uncertain.
Altcoins Flashing the Same Warning
We’re seeing a similar pattern with many altcoins. Last week, ALGO‘s price jumped 55% over four days, broke through a key resistance level, and then its Relative Strength Index (RSI) hit an extremely high value of 90.64. Trading volume surged on April 3rd, but has been declining ever since, which suggests this price increase wasn’t due to genuine buying interest. Instead, it appears a ‘short squeeze’ – where traders who bet against the coin were forced to buy it back to limit their losses – temporarily drove the price up, without underlying demand.
RENDER is currently testing a resistance level around $1.94, and its trading volume is strongly positive. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also indicates increasing momentum. While the recent price increase is only about 10% – less than the 50-60% gains seen in other similar assets – the growing interest in artificial intelligence (AI) provides some solid support for its potential. Further price increases are possible.
Monad is showing signs of potential weakness. While the price has been moving upwards, reaching a level of 0.5 on the Fibonacci retracement, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) isn’t confirming this upward trend. Each new price high – 79.26 on March 16th, 73.98 on March 25th, and 72.24 on Sunday – has been lower than the previous one, which suggests a possible reversal and could be concerning for those buying at these higher prices.
Volume Drying Up Is the Real Story
Hyperliquid reported a large trade that closed a long position. The predicted outcome is a quick price increase followed by a decline. Trading volume on KuCoin over the past 30 days has been low, only 6.8 million, which suggests that any price increases are unlikely to last.
Fetch is up slightly, increasing by 4%, but trading volume is starting to level off. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests momentum is decreasing. Meanwhile, Stacks has fallen below a key support level for the third time. If it can’t bounce back from its historical support, it could drop to $0.0792, which is about 64% below its current price.
We’re seeing a recurring pattern: stocks are spiking late in the day with decreasing trading activity, often driven by short squeezes rather than solid company performance.
