The Ethereum price has been in a crucial consolidation phase<\/a>, with analysts closely watching the next big move. After reclaiming the $4,500 level, the cryptocurrency is now facing one last obstacle before potentially breaking into uncharted territory. Crypto market expert Ted Pillows has set Ethereum\u2019s next price target at $5,000, signaling a potential new all-time high<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Price Faces Major Hurdle Before $5,000<\/h2>\n

In a recent technical analysis published on X social media, Pillows explained<\/a> that Ethereum has successfully reclaimed the $4,500 support<\/a> level, a point that had previously been a stumbling block for bulls. Now, the market is laser-focused on its next price hurdle at $4,880, which has emerged as the final barrier before a potential breakout<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to his price chart, a daily candle close above the $4,880 resistance could open the doors to a fresh all-time high and quickly accelerate Ethereum\u2019s momentum toward the $5,000 milestone. Just last month, ETH shocked the market by breaking its 2021 all-time high<\/a> and climbing past $4,900. Now, the cryptocurrency looks ready for its next big move, with Pillows confirming $5,000 as the short-term target.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ethereum\u2019s struggle around the $4,880 level comes from repeated failures to push higher<\/a> at this point in previous sessions. Each rejection has reinforced $4,880 as a strong resistance, making it the decisive point for bulls to conquer. A clean break above it could invalidate bearish short-term pressure<\/a> and potentially trigger an influx of buying volume.<\/p>\n

However, if Ethereum once again fails to hold above this level, the price could retreat to lower supports. Pillows identified the $4,200 \u2013 $4,400 range as the primary demand zone where buyers could step back in. This area has historically provided strong support and could act as a springboard for another attempt to retest the resistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ETH Rejected At $4,650 But Holds Support<\/h2>\n

In a follow-up analysis, Pillows noted<\/a> that Ethereum failed to reclaim the $4,650 level<\/a>, making its path to reach the $4,880 resistance even more difficult. The rejection at $4,650 has raised concerns of a near-term pullback<\/a>, with the $4,500 region now being the key support to watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If ETH holds above $4,500 and gains fresh bullish momentum<\/a>, Pillows suggests that another attempt at reclaiming $4,650 could occur, potentially setting the stage for the long-awaited $4,880 breakout. On the downside, Ethereum maintains<\/a> strong structural support between $3,800 and $4,000. This range has acted as a crucial demand zone during past corrections, absorbing selling pressure<\/a> and enabling bulls to re-accumulate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For longer-term investors, Pillows noted that this support zone presents a significant buy-dip opportunity<\/a>. He said that if ETH declines to this level, many altcoins would also enter attractive discount zones, presenting broader accumulation opportunities across the market.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
