Ethereum ($ETH ) surged sharply today, touching the $4,200 mark before pulling back to around $4,100. While the bullish momentum remains strong, several market analysts are warning that buying at such elevated levels carries increased short-term risk.
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that although Ethereum appears to be gearing up for a breakout toward new all-time highs, the current price zone may not be ideal for fresh entries. Instead, he suggested that short-term traders might see better returns by allocating funds within the broader Ethereum ecosystem — such as Layer-2 scaling solutions or ETH-based DeFi protocols.
Technical Outlook: Strong but Overheated
On the daily chart, Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 72, indicating buyer-dominated conditions. While this confirms the prevailing bullish sentiment, it also suggests the market could be due for a short-term cooldown before another potential rally.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has also confirmed a bullish crossover, signaling a momentum shift in favor of buyers. This aligns with ETH’s recent breakout above key resistance levels, but traders are now watching closely to see if the price can hold above crucial support zones.
