The coming sessions should provide more clarity on whether this recovery has enough momentum to continue.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ethereum-price-analysis-the-daily-chart\">Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart<\/h2>\n<p>The daily chart shows ETH holding above the previously broken descending trendline, confirming that the medium-term structure has improved compared to the aggressive selloff seen in June. Following the breakout, the market has successfully established a sequence of higher highs and higher lows while consolidating above the $1.76K to $1.82K support region.<\/p>\n<p>However, the recovery is now approaching a major technical barrier. The $1.88K to $1.91K supply zone is acting as the first resistance, while the declining 100-day moving average sits just overhead near the $1.95K area. This creates a confluence of resistance that could cap the current rally before ETH attempts to challenge the broader long-term supply zone between roughly $2K and $2.15K.<\/p>\n<p>As long as the price remains above the $1.76K to $1.82K support, buyers maintain the short-term advantage. Losing that area, however, would expose the next support around $1.55K to $1.64K and weaken the current bullish structure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ETH-D-11-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"eth-usdt-4-hour-chart\">ETH\/USDT 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n<p>On the 4-hour timeframe, Ethereum has slipped slightly below the ascending trendline that had guided the recovery throughout July. While the break is not yet decisive, it signals that bullish momentum is beginning to weaken as the price trades inside the $1.88K to $1.91K supply zone.\u00a0The current structure suggests that buyers are losing some control after failing to extend the recent rally.<\/p>\n<p>If ETH remains below the broken trendline, the move could evolve into a deeper retracement toward the notable demand zone around $1.76K to $1.79K, where buyers would be expected to step in. Conversely, reclaiming the trendline and securing a breakout above the $1.88K to $1.91K resistance would invalidate the short-term weakness and increase the probability of another push toward the $1.95K to $2K region.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ETH-4H-10-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1443848\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=2560\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=2560 2560w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=300,h=182 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=1024,h=623 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=768,h=467 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=1536,h=934 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=2048,h=1246 2048w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=90,h=55 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=148,h=90 148w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=2000,h=1217 2000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=1600,h=973 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=1400,h=852 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=1200,h=730 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=1000,h=608 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=900,h=547 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=800,h=487 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=700,h=426 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=600,h=365 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=500,h=304 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=400,h=243 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=200,h=122 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/238d983c-f733-4f0a-f1b5-d7ee12efea00\/w=100,h=61 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sentiment-analysis\">Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>The one-month Binance ETH liquidation heatmap shows a substantial concentration of liquidity around the $1.5K level. Although Ethereum is currently trading well above that region, this cluster remains an important magnet from a derivatives perspective.<\/p>\n<p>If the current rally loses momentum and sellers regain control, a deeper correction toward the $1.5K liquidity pocket could attract price as leveraged long positions are unwound.<\/p>\n<p>Such a move would likely coincide with a break below the key technical supports visible on the chart.
