• Crypto Patel predicts a breakout for Ethereum post-April, backed by macro trends and on-chain signals.
• Struggling below $2,200 resistance, ETH risks falling back toward the $1,800–$1,900 support zone.
• Despite accumulation, ETH lacks a clear catalyst to ignite a rally toward the $10,000 target.

Ethereum has stayed in an accumulation phase with analysts awaiting an upward or downward break through the range. In the recent X post, Crypto Patel focuses on Ethereum and points out that some technical and on-chain factors are strengthening the chances for an upside move, which should happen after April.

Still, Ethereum is still trading below the vital level of $2,200 even after having risen from its lowest point of $1,800. The daily picture shows that this level continues to be resisted, implying that demand is still uncertain at higher levels. The overall view suggests that ETH is still far below the 200-day MA that is currently at $2,900, which paints a bittersweet picture for a sustained, upturn.

Crypto Patel claims that ETH has a high timeframe (HTF) price prediction of $10k therefore it appears that the current levels are still part of consolidation. He notes that the macro structure and cycles justify the likelihood of a breakout after April, which gives a boost to this dreary target.

However, technical indicators in narrower time frames providing the opposite signal to the one given by the upper time frame indicators. RSI indicator is low at just below 50, hence the market can still be considered as fairly oversold. This shows that there cannot be much motivation to either buy or sell the popular items since none of them has the upper hand in the practice. Thus, for bullishness to return concertedly Ethereum, it must reclaim $2,200 and begin a sustained uptrend toward $2,400.

This break is particularly important for the bulls who are eyeing higher grounds otherwise this market may extend its journey towards the south. If the buyers fail to maintain the momentum, there is as likelihood that ETH may slide back to the $1,800 to $1,900 as support level. This support zone has provided support in the past as illustrated by the chart point A, and a further test of this area could compromise it.

However, on-chain signal is still displaying more of an uncertain, albeit positive, outlook. There has been an element of accumulation through upticks in long-term holders and marginally a volatility in the exchange outflows most commonly witnessed before such a breakout.
