— Ali Charts (@alicharts) April 17, 2026 Ali indicated that this price move represents a significant structural shift. The analyst indicated that Ethereum flipping the $2,385 into a support floor neutralizes recent sell signals and might suggest a major trend continuation. With the overhead supply cleared, Ali stated that the technical objective for this formation is now $2,900. As long as Ethereum holds above the breakout zone at $2,385, the advantage will continue to tilt toward bulls.
Ethereum rose to a high of $2,466 on April 17, extending its recovery from a March 29 low of $1,937. ETH's price faced resistance at this level as sellers sought to halt the recovery. Bulls continued to press in and did not allow ETH's price to dip below $2,300. If ETH's price continues to hold above the highlighted $2,385 level, the recovery may extend to $2,900, then to $3,050. Such a move suggests that Ethereum may have bottomed out at $1,742. This bullish view will be invalidated in the near term if the price turns down sharply and breaks $2,300. That would suggest the recent rise might have been a bull trap. ETH could then decline to the $1,916 level.
The breakout above $2,385 indicates a structural shift that could lead Ethereum towards a target price of $2,900 if it maintains this support level.
