During the past seven days, ETH has traded in a range between $4,200 and $4,600. On the daily chart, the 21 EMA continues to act as a short-term guide as ETH searches for support.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_413362\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-413362\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/G1bmwzhXgAAvX_t-scaled.jpeg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-413362\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: EGRAG CRYPTO\/X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/egragcrypto\/status\/1970016834951729176\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">noted<\/a> that this move may set up a relief rally. They said,<em> \u201cThe potential for a retest of the $4,000 mark with the potential 21 EMA is still very much alive.\u201d<\/em> Current support sits between $4,000 and $4,100, with $3,860 as a secondary level to watch.<\/p>\n<p>On higher timeframes, Ethereum has already broken out of a descending broadening wedge. The pattern suggests that ETH is now retesting $4,000 as support after its breakout. EGRAG CRYPTO pointed to a longer-term projection, saying,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWith strong market dynamics and a positive sentiment, we could see ETH making a significant push toward the $10,000\u2013$12,000 range.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Past consolidations have followed similar rejection points before price continued upward. Analysts suggest that as long as ETH holds above the $3,860\u2013$4,000 range, the long-term outlook remains constructive.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"triangle-breakdown-seen-as-shakeout\">Triangle Breakdown Seen as Shakeout<\/h2>\n<p>Analyst Ash Crypto pointed to a separate development on the daily chart, where ETH broke down from a symmetrical triangle that had been building since mid-July. The drop confirmed short-term weakness, often associated with stop-loss triggers and sharper volatility.<\/p>\n<p>They described the move as a final reset before renewed upside, saying,<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">$ETH<\/a> has broken down from the daily chart triangle<\/p>\n<p>This will be the last shakeout before a huge rally in Q4 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fV85AVUC5M\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/fV85AVUC5M<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ash Crypto (@Ashcryptoreal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ashcryptoreal\/status\/1970043228331409837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">September 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Support is now found around $4,160\u2013$4,200. If this zone fails, ETH could revisit $3,850\u2013$3,900. On the upside, reclaiming $4,400 would be the first sign of strength, with $4,600\u2013$4,800 as the next resistance zone.<\/p>\n<p>The $4,000 zone has remained at the epicenter of near-term direction for Ethereum. If the price manages to hold on to this level, it may open the door for some recovery toward $4,600 and beyond. Failure to defend will stretch the pullback toward $3,850.<\/p>\n<p>Market participants are observing whether the pullback turns out to be a brief shakeout before a stronger Q4 rally or more profound retracement. The upcoming daily and weekly closes will be heavily scrutinized for confirmation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Sponsored)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>Binance Free $600 (CryptoPotato Exclusive): <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance600f\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Use this link<\/a> to register a new account and receive $600 exclusive welcome offer on Binance<\/b> (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance600d\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">full details<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pl\/bybit24\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-price-at-crossroads-4k-retest-could-define-q4\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TL;DR ETH trades near $4,200 with analysts watching $4,000\u2013$4,100 support and $3,860 secondary zone.
