- Ethereum bulls have strong support just below the $2900 mark.
- A rally to $3500 could commence if the bullish sentiment continues to intensify.

Highlighted in purple was a range that ETH exhibited in the second half of January. It extended from $2100 to 2600. On the lower timeframe charts, two demand zones were identified at $2500 and $2650.
The price was yet to retest either region.
The market structure and momentum on the 3-day chart were firmly bullish. The rising OBV signaled heavy buying volume. Together, they showed that Ethereum prices are expected to continue to rally.
The move above the $3000 psychological resistance level is a significant one. It could heighten the bullish fervor already present in the market.
The next higher timeframe resistance level sat at $3580, and ETH may rush to this area before a significant retracement arrives.
