Analyst Says The Patient Will Be Rewarded As Ethereum Price Retests 4-Year Resistance

Despite what is akin to a bull market with the Bitcoin price hitting multiple new all-time highs, the Ethereum price continues to hit major resistances in its campaign for new highs. The most recent is the resistance push at the $3,800, which perfectly aligns with the 4-year resistance line that has kept the leading altcoin by market cap from hitting new all-time highs. However, as Ethereum once again gears up for a retest, this time could be the chart that signals the breakout.

Ethereum On The Verge Of Breakout

Crypto analyst MMCrypto highlighted a possible breakout on the Ethereum price chart after the altcoin moved back toward a 4-year resistance trendline. This trendline had begun back in 2021 when the Ethereum price had hit its $4,800 all-time high, and since then, it has become the resistant trendline to beat for the ETH price to rally to new highs.

Over the last four years, this resistance trendline has held firmly, beating the Ethereum price back down from the $4,000 level. This has prevented a rally toward its $4,800 and made the $5,000 expected target push even farther away. But now, there could be another opportunity for Ethereum to turn the tide and break this resistance once and for all.

Currently, the ETH price is still trending below $4,000, suggesting that the bears are still holding the resistance line. With the price trading below this resistance, MMCrypto points out that ETH has now been underperforming for four years. Given this, a large number of investors have lost money on their investments or haven’t seen a profit.

The major target now is for the resistance to be broken. The crypto analyst explains that once this happens, then the Ethereum price could see a monumental pump from here. This pump, he explains, will be fueled by investors who have yet to realize any profit on their ETH holdings over the last four years.

With the expectation that the resistance trendline will be broken, the analyst urges investors to be patient. He points out that once the pump begins, those who were patient will be the ones to reap the profits of this ETH price action.

Additionally, Ethereum will not be the only altcoin to benefit from a pump. Previous altcoin seasons have been sparked by movements in the Ethereum price, and if ETH is able to break toward a new all-time high, then the altcoin market is expected to follow suit. “The Ethereum Pump if & when it happens, will have a broad influence on the whole Crypto Space & take many Altcoins with it! Be ready, be prepared,” the analyst said in closing.
