On the daily chart, Ethereum is still moving inside a steep ascending channel, consistently printing higher highs and higher lows. After consolidating below the $4.8K resistance, ETH has pulled back slightly toward the midline of the channel. It is also staying above both the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which reinforces the bullish macro structure.

As long as this channel holds, Ethereum is in a healthy uptrend. The RSI is also hovering around 51, reflecting a neutral momentum with potential for another leg up if bulls regain control. If buyers manage to break through $4.8K with volume, a move toward $5K and beyond would be imminent. However, a break below the channel could open the doors for a retest of the $4K or even the $3.5K support zone.

On the 4-hour chart, Ethereum has been trading in a tight range between $4.3K and $4.8K, also forming a local ascending structure. The price has tested the lower bound multiple times, but each dip has been met with buying interest. This suggests that buyers are still active at these levels.

However, RSI on this timeframe has dropped to around 41, indicating weakening momentum. Therefore, if the price closes below the lower trendline or the $4.3K supply zone, the next area of interest would be the purple support level around $3.8K. Until then, the overall structure remains intact with potential for continuation if ETH reclaims short-term resistance levels.

From a sentiment perspective, the Coinbase Premium Index for Ethereum is showing a healthy amount of green activity, indicating positive spot demand from U.S. investors. This is often a sign that institutional and retail interest is supporting the uptrend.

Compared to past rallies, the current premium is not overheated, which means the market may still have room to grow. This positive premium has coincided with ETH’s move above $4K and its stability near highs. It shows that despite the market cooling off in the short term, buyers continue to accumulate on dips.
