Despite attempts by bears to drive prices down, Ethereum (ETH) managed to hold its head above water on Wednesday, topping $1,200 for the most of the session.
Coingecko records indicate that as the time of writing, ETH is trading at $1,129.50, a decrease of 0.5% over the past week and still slightly down from the previous day’s high of $1,228.88.
Even though the ETH/USD pair fell to an intraday low of $1,170.23 during Tuesday’s session, bulls were able to keep prices above this area.
The market has been dominated by bulls for the past few days. A 40 percent increase in 10 days can undoubtedly be read constructively, but it is essential to consider all possible outcomes.
According to the chart, ETH is currently trapped below the resistance zone on the daily time frame.
Ethereum Rally Seen If $1,500 Barrier Is Breached
This area, which extends from $1,300 to $1,500 (in red), was anticipated to provide substantial support during the severe decline early this month, but clearly failed to do so. Now, it serves as a solid barrier.
With this mechanism in place, a relief rally is likely to begin if buyers can push the price over the $1,500 horizontal barrier. Then, the possibility of staging a rally is revived.

In the coming months, Ethereum is anticipated to succeed. Numerous improvements on the Ethereum chain will catapult ETH out of its current slumber. Nevertheless, the efficacy will depend on the conduct of Ethereum holders in the coming weeks.
Next ETH Handle Could Be $1,730
In the next bear run, the price of ETH might fall to $750 if bears maintain their tight grip on the market. Consequently, if inflation keeps going up, the cryptocurrency may decline further. However, if the bulls take the driver’s seat, the next ETH handle will be $1,730.
Recent movement has pushed the price of Ether up by as much as 8 percent in the past week, resulting in the 10-day moving average displaying indications of potential higher gains.

If this short-term trend maintains its current course, market observers should notice a cross to the upside.
This may be the impetus that propels the price of the world’s second-biggest cryptocurrency back above $1,400.
The cryptocurrency market, which has recently mirrored the stock market, has fallen victim to the larger market sell-off of risky assets.
However, as a result of the advancements that the Ethereum team is implementing, especially Ethereum 2.0, the ETH price is anticipated to increase this year.
