Both SMAs remain overhead: the SMA 50 at $2,440.86 is the nearest resistance and the SMA 20 at $2,857.71 is further above. The April monthly candle is printing a long lower wick at the trendline, a candlestick structure that historically signals demand absorption at a structurally significant level.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multiyear Trendline Holds as Monthly MACD Histogram Turns Positive<\/h1>\n<p>The ascending support trendline on the monthly chart connects Ethereum\u2019s bear market lows in 2019, the 2020 pre-rally base, and the 2022 cycle bottom, making this the deepest and most tested structural level on Ethereum\u2019s price history. The $2,017.09 monthly wick is the most significant test of that trendline in the current correction, and it has held without a monthly close below it. Price has since recovered to the $2,255 area, forming a positive monthly body above the trendline.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n<p>The monthly MACD (12,26,9) provides the critical secondary signal. The MACD line at -29.45 is now 129.89 points above the signal at -159.35, producing a positive histogram. While both lines remain in negative territory, indicating the macro trend has not reversed, a histogram turning positive at a multiyear trendline test is consistent with momentum inflecting before price does on the longer timeframe. This is the first positive monthly histogram reading since Ethereum\u2019s descent accelerated from its August 2025 high near $4,800.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto analyst Leshka wrote on X that ETH \u201cwill 3x-4x in the next six months,\u201d pointing to a supply squeeze developing on centralized exchanges as evidence of a structural base forming at the trendline level, a view that gains more technical grounding with the monthly MACD now confirming improving momentum.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Levels: Support, Resistance, and Price Targets<\/h2>\n<p>The multiyear ascending trendline, currently intersecting around $2,000 to $2,100, is the structural floor on a monthly closing basis. The $2,017.09 monthly low is the concrete level to hold: a monthly close below it breaks the trendline and exposes $1,500, which aligns with the 2023 accumulation zone and represents the last major demand area before untested territory.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, the SMA 50 at $2,440.86 is the immediate recovery target. A monthly close above it shifts the SMA ribbon from fully bearish and begins reclaiming the moving average structure. The SMA 20 at $2,857.71 is the extended objective and represents a return toward where both SMAs converged before the 2025 breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>Invalidation: a monthly close below $2,017.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-Chain and Market Data Context<\/h2>\n<p>Perpetual futures on Ethereum <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/ETH\" target=\"_blank\">showed<\/a> a slightly positive funding rate as of April 12, indicating measured but persistent long-side demand is returning. The Ethereum Foundation staked 45,000 ETH on April 5, nearing a target of 70,000 ETH, reducing immediate circulating sell pressure while generating an estimated $3.9 to $5.4 million annually in yield. Whales withdrew over 120,000 ETH from centralized exchanges in early March, the largest outflow since October 2025, per CryptoQuant contributor Arab Chain, a pattern consistent with accumulation near structural support.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upgrade Pipeline Provides Forward Catalyst<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s Glamsterdam upgrade, scheduled for H1 2026, targets a significant increase in the gas limit, parallel transaction execution, and enshrined proposer-builder separation. The upgrade continues the scalability work started by the Fusaka hard fork and is expected to materially reduce Layer-2 transaction costs, strengthening the fundamental case for ETH at current prices.<\/p>\n<p>If Ethereum holds the multiyear trendline on a monthly close basis and the MACD histogram continues to expand, the SMA 50 at $2,440 is the first recovery target, with the SMA 20 at $2,857 as the extended bull case. A monthly close below $2,017 breaks the trendline and shifts the macro structure bearish.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum is trading at $2,255.04 in April 2026, up 7.09% on the monthly chart, after the $2,017.09 monthly low tested and held the ascending support trendline connecting Ethereum\u2019s major lows&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25791,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25790\/revisions\/25791"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
