The market’s second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum (ETH), surged nearly 3% on Wednesday, extending a short-term recovery that has brought the altcoin to the key $2,160 level.
Market analyst Ali Martinez flagged the move as part of a potentially significant shift in Ethereum’s technical outlook, writing on social media platform X (previously Twitter) that price action is showing “signs of a major trend shift from bearish to bullish.”
On‑Chain Signals Strengthen Breakout CaseSimilar patterns seen in previous market cycles offer investors reason for optimism. As the price tightens toward the triangle’s apex, historical patterns suggest that a breakout to the upside is more likely.
According to his read, that specific MVRV threshold has previously coincided with important buy signals, which makes the recent reset more meaningful than a random bounce.
Adding to the technical narrative, the SuperTrend indicator flipped to bullish for the first time since May of last year, indicating that momentum may be shifting back in favor of buyers.
Ethereum Price Targets IdentifiedMartinez stated that the first significant objective to be reclaimed was $2,356, which was not exceeded in the broader market surge witnessed last week. Mid-term targets at $2,647 and $3,639 came next.
Looking ahead, the analyst indicated $4,632–the last resistance before reaching all-time highs of $4,956–and $5,624 as longer-term “expansion” zones that would indicate further positive momentum.
Still, he argued that the convergence of technical support, the MVRV buy signal, and the SuperTrend flip represent the strongest combination of bullish indicators for Ethereum seen in a while.
