Ethereum has bounced from a strong demand zone, and market attention is now fixed on the $1,780 to $1,800 neckline resistance area. A daily close above that band would strengthen the case for a bullish reversal. If buyers clear the level, the next price targets cited in the source are $1,900 and $2,000, while the measured objective of the formation points as high as $2,160. For now, this zone is the main technical test.
Failure at $1,800 is still on the table. In that setup, ETH could pull back to $1,700 and may even revisit the strong demand region near $1,600. Holding above that lower zone is described as important for preserving the current constructive outlook. Analyst DON said momentum is building in Ethereum, but added that more confirmation is still needed before calling it a lasting uptrend.
RSI and MACD show improving momentum
Short-term indicators are leaning in favor of the bulls. The Relative Strength Index has climbed to 55.53, while its moving average stands at 40.53. After rebounding from oversold territory, RSI moved back above the neutral 50 line, a sign that buying pressure has strengthened. At the same time, the reading is not yet in overbought territory, leaving room for additional upside if price can break resistance.
The MACD setup also remains constructive. The MACD line is at -22.84, above the signal line at -53.27, and the histogram has expanded to 30.43. That combination points to stronger positive momentum, with the widening gap between the two lines suggesting buyers have gained firmer short-term control. Still, indicator strength alone does not settle the breakout question; price action around the resistance band remains decisive.
Ethereum outlines a roadmap for quantum resistance
Beyond the chart, Ethereum has introduced a roadmap aimed at protecting the network against threats from quantum computers. As one of the largest blockchains for smart contracts and decentralized applications, Ethereum is framing quantum resistance as a long-term security priority tied to wallets and broader blockchain infrastructure.
The source says progress over the next three to four years could be decisive for the network’s security, scalability, and efficiency. If the plan succeeds, application costs could be reduced by more than 10 times. In the near term, though, traders are still focused on whether ETH can break above $1,800 with solid buying volume. If that does not happen, the token may continue consolidating below resistance before making another attempt higher.
