It is important to note that this strong uptrend may be far from over, as cryptocurrencies have recently broken many key resistance levels that once stopped price action.

In addition to breaking out the important USD resistance level, Ethereum has also been able to overcome some of Bitcoin's major resistance levels, suggesting that ETH will significantly outperform the standard cryptocurrency in the near term.

Ethereum technical analysis
1-day chart
ETH / USD | Source: Trading View
Ethereum's one-day chart identified two previous patterns that form a bullish breakout on both occasions. The first declining wedge is observed from July to September and creates a small breakout at the end of the month. The nearest descending channel was positively broke on January 14, when the market witnessed a significant spike.
Since hitting $ 116 in mid-December, ETH has been trying to beat key resistance levels for the past 45 days, improving the bearish sentiment in the market. At this time, the latest price increase on February 5 allowed Ethereum to surpass major resistance at $ 193 for the first time since October last year. The token also moved above the psychological resistance at $ 200 and moved to the current price of $ 228.
Such a scenario also increases the likelihood of a correction.
The positive consolidation between the $ 235 resistance and the $ 192 support will take place over the next few days before retesting the key resistance of $ 271. The exhaustion rally can cause a drop to $ 192, but a drop below $ 168 is less likely in the coming weeks.
However, the Relative Strength Index is forming an upward trend as seen in the chart. At the same time, there is still no divergence formed here, showing that the bullish sentiment is quite high at this time, sufficient to combat the possibility of plummeting prices.
Another indicator emphasizing the uptrend is the MA 200, which became the first positive support on January 31 since September last year.

The price of Ethereum is adjustable, facilitating horizontal movement in the coming week. A retest of the resistance at $ 273 can appear in late March.
