According to this analyst, Ethereum (ETH) has been compressing inside a contracting triangle from late November. So far, the asset has had two clean rejections at the 200-day EMA, marking key resistance. As long as higher lows hold at the $2,900 price range, the recent uptrend stays intact. Moreover, a daily close above the triangle top ($3,200 – $3,250) and the 200-EMA would confirm reversal. The analyst sets the current target at $4,200, if ETH closes below the rising trend line that would invalidate the structure.
