Key Takeaways
- ETH’s weekly MACD indicator shows upward momentum, a technical signal historically linked to price recoveries
- Price action broke through $2,100 resistance after defending the $2,000 support zone
- Daily trading volume surged to $16 billion, more than double the previous 24-hour period following a 5%+ rally
- Spot Ethereum ETFs attracted $120 million in net capital on April 6, with BlackRock’s ETHA taking the lead
- Technical analysts suggest a sustained move above $2,150 could trigger a rally toward $2,800
Ethereum has registered a notable 5% gain over the last 24 hours, successfully recapturing the psychologically important $2,100 threshold that market participants have been monitoring. The upward price action coincided with geopolitical tensions after President Donald Trump issued warnings to Iran regarding Strait of Hormuz access, temporarily alleviating pressure on oil markets and boosting appetite for risk-oriented assets.
The rally saw daily trading volume explode to $16 billion, more than doubling in the span of 24 hours. This volume surge accounts for approximately 6% of Ethereum’s total circulating market capitalization.
The broader cryptocurrency market experienced roughly $280 million in liquidated short positions during this volatile period. Bitcoin posted a 4% increase, while Solana climbed 3.5% and XRP advanced 3% in parallel moves.
Prior to the reversal, the $2,000 price floor proved resilient, establishing what technical analysts identify as a higher low pattern on daily timeframes. ETH currently faces resistance around $2,150, a ceiling that has rejected multiple previous attempts to break through.
Market analyst Ted highlighted ETH’s rebound from a key support cluster in a recent chart analysis. The technical roadmap identifies resistance barriers at $2,200, the mid-$2,400 zone, and subsequently at $2,624.
$ETH has broken above the $2,100 level.
Yesterday I told you that if the $2,000 level holds, Ethereum could have one final pump.
IMO, ETH could tap the $2,200 zone before the next downtrend. pic.twitter.com/8uon0G4UGw

The Relative Strength Index has climbed above 55, crossing its 14-day moving average. Should the RSI break past the 60 threshold, it could signal further upside momentum according to technical interpretations.
Weekly MACD Indicator Points to Potential Trend Reversal
Technical analyst Jake Wujastyk published a weekly timeframe chart revealing Ethereum’s MACD beginning an upward curl from significantly negative territory. The blue MACD line is approaching the orange signal line following an extended downward trajectory.
Historical precedents on the same timeframe have shown comparable formations developing near local bottom formations before subsequent price appreciation in following weeks. While not yet a confirmed reversal signal, the pattern indicates potentially diminishing downward pressure.
Analyst Ali Charts emphasized the importance of the $1,800 level, characterizing the current structure as a potential ascending triangle pattern. According to his analysis, maintaining $1,800 as the triangle’s foundational support could catalyze an extended rally targeting $4,900.
If the current Ethereum $ETH price action is an ascending triangle, then the $1,800 level is the “line in the sand.”
This price point serves as the triangle’s hypotenuse. If it holds as support, I believe it could trigger a rally toward the $4,900 x-axis. https://t.co/93y0hrWujz pic.twitter.com/sqIFaQKCG8

Fidelity’s FETH product ranked second with $40.1 million in daily inflows. Combined net assets across all Ethereum spot ETF vehicles have reached $12.28 billion, equivalent to 4.74% of Ethereum’s aggregate market capitalization.
The Fear and Greed Index registered movement from 23 to 38, transitioning from the Fear category toward Almost Neutral sentiment territory.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, market participants have removed expectations for any rate cuts through 2026, a factor that has applied downward pressure across risk asset categories. Ethereum ETF products concluded the previous week with $42 million in net outflows before the April 6 reversal into positive territory.
