Moreover, the crypto analyst, Lennaert Synder, noted that ETH,showed good strength, recovering perfectly from the major $3,700 area low after a very minor consolidation. The level served as good support again, enabling the bulls to propel the price higher. The token is now challenging the $4,057 resistance, an important area that will determine what it does next.

A clean breakout above $4,057 might generate some fresh long positions, with the next resistance target at $4,250. Higher lows are shaping up around $3,990, signaling waning bullish momentum. The confirmed price retest of this area might give the perfect long entry point as Ethereum targets another leg higher.
