Ethereum’s bullish case: Why $2264 is key for ETH to rally

• ETH has surged by 4.36% over the past month.
• Ethereum was experiencing an upward momentum, signaling more gains if $2264 support holds.

Since hitting a local low of $2309,  Ethereum [ETH] has seen a strong upward momentum. Thus, the recent gains have outweighed the losses to turn October green.

In fact, at the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $2525. This marked a 2.44% increase over the past day. Equally, ETH has surged by 4.36% on monthly charts with an extension to the bullish trend by a 1.53% rise on weekly charts.

Looking further, the altcoin has seen a surge in trading activities. As such, its trading volume has increased by 35.51% to $12.43 billion.

As expected, these market conditions have left crypto analysts talking about the altcoin’s trajectory. One of them is the popular crypto analyst Man of Bitcoin who has suggested that the current bullish scenario is valid if ETH holds above $2264.

According to him, the current movements on price charts show weakness thus indicating a potential downside.

Therefore, the analysts argue that the bullish scenario identified is only valid as long as ETH trades above $2264.

With the altcoin holding this level, using the Elliot wave analysis, the potential next move is Wave -C of iii at $3096. This implies that the price range is within the third wave which is strongest and has the potential for further gains.

However, if the altcoin fails to hold this level and experiences a breakdown, it will imply that Wave -iv is moving to the downside.

What ETH charts say..

Undoubtedly, the analysis provided by Man of Bitcoin offers a cautious future outlook. However, it’s essential to counter-check and determine what other market indicators imply.
