Ethereum’s daily chart spotted a falling wedge breakout on Saturday, opening doors for a rally above the $1700 mark and beyond.
ETH/USD: Daily chart
However, for the potential surge to gain traction, the ETH bulls need to crack the bearish 21-daily moving average (DMA) at $1665 on a sustained basis.
Acceptance above the latter could trigger fresh demand, which is likely to drive the prices towards $1998, the pattern target. The next stop for the bulls is seen at the record highs of $2041.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has pierced through the 50 level, entering the bullish zone. This suggests that the upside is opening up for the no.2 coin.
An immediate downside could likely be capped by the bullish 50-DMA at $1564.
A failure to resist above the last could fuel a sharp drop towards patter support at $1241.
