Ethereum continues pushing higher after a small retracement yesterday and set a new all-time high at $4,370 yesterday. Overall, ETH/USD has already gained more than 110 percent from the previous base around $2,040 – $2,100 during the second half of April. 

After an initial slow rally in April to $2,800, Ethereum increased its bullish momentum until a several-day consolidation was set around the $3,400 mark. From there, Ethereum price spiked higher again and broke above the $4,000 major price target. After further upside, a new higher high was set at $4,200 on the 10th of May.  

Further, on Monday, ETH/USD made a quick retracement towards the $3,700 level, where bulls quickly regained control. Yesterday, ETH/USD regained its bullish momentum and started moving higher. This resulted in a clear break above the previous swing high of $4,200 and indicates that the overall market structure is bullish.

Currently, Ethereum starts to retrace once again, with the first support target seen at the $4,000 mark. From there, ETH/USD should set a higher low and continue pushing higher later this week.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Conclusion 

Ethereum price prediction is bearish as the current bullish upswing is exhausted and the market consolidated for the past hours. Right now, we can see Ethereum already starting to push lower, meaning that we could see a retracement to the $4,000 later this week.
