The moving averages suggest bullish sentiment. The 9-day MA ($3,863) stays above the 21-day MA ($3,771), confirming a <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/nft-sales-surge-57-8-in-november-amid-positive-market-momentum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">positive</a> trend. A golden crossover in early November marked the shift to upward momentum, which remains intact. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 63.89, close to the 70 overbought level. The RSI average at 64.60 indicates sustained buying pressure but signals caution for potential pullbacks.
If Ethereum maintains support above $3,860, the upward trend could continue. Breaking resistance at $4,025 may open the door to $4,200. However, RSI nearing overbought levels suggests a short-term consolidation is possible. Strong ETF inflows and rising trading volume will remain key catalysts for Ethereum’s next move.
