However, an analyst suggested that this week\u2019s performance will be key for the long-awaited price discovery rally.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ethereum Eyes Last Major Resistance<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the past week, Ethereum has had a remarkable performance, jumping nearly 30% to a multi-year high of $4,750 on Wednesday afternoon, just 3.3% away from its ATH of $4,848, recorded in November 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notably, the King of Altcoins has seen a 40% recovery from the start-of-month pullback, finally breaking from its local range and reclaiming the crucial $4,000 barrier last Friday. Since then, ETH has continued to soar, reclaiming the $4,400-$4,500 area on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cryptocurrency has been hovering between $4,600-$4,750 throughout the day, while attempting to break out of this range to potentially <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AltcoinSherpa\/status\/1955584641408340343\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">tackle<\/a> \u201cthe final boss\u201d of resistance around the $4,800 area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Analyst Rekt Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/newsletter.rektcapital.co\/altcoin-market-update-112\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">discussed<\/a> ETH\u2019s recent performance, highlighting that it had successfully broken out of its multi-year resistance and turned it into support after its post-breakout retest at the start of the month, which has enabled the current move to the final Macro Range, between $3,762 and $4,631, that could precede new highs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-804453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ETHUSD_2025-08-13_17-43-13.png?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C623\" alt=\"ethereum\" width=\"860\" height=\"623\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, he noted that the altcoin\u2019s price \u201chistorically upside wicked beyond this final major Weekly\/Monthly resistance for 3 straight weeks in a row\u201d last cycle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the analyst explained, in late 2021, Ethereum was rejected from the $4,631 resistance after hitting its ATH and attempting to turn it into support in the weekly timeframe, which was followed by an 80% retracement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">This suggests that \u201chow ETH treats $4,631 over the coming days will be pivotal\u201d for the cryptocurrency\u2019s upcoming performance, as it could potentially hit a new ATH but get ultimately rejected. Therefore, weekly closing above the Macro Range breakout level is crucial to \u201cgo against the grain of history.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is A Rejection Next?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Holding the $4,630 mark on the first attempt \u201cwould be a huge signal of strength,\u201d the analyst asserted, but warned that \u201cmore often than not, price tends to get rejected but in a shallower manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">If Ethereum fails to reclaim this level, the King of Altcoins could see an 18% drop to the Macro Range lows, around the $3,762 support, which would fulfill a key recently opened CME Gap on ETH\u2019s chart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Weekly CME gap, created this week, sits between the $4,091-$4,261 area, leading Rekt Capital to suggest that a more volatile retest of the CME gap could briefly send the price to the Macro Range lows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, if Ethereum reclaims the final major weekly resistance as support, ETH\u2019s price discovery rally above the $5,000 mark will be next.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Notably, Ali Martinez <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ali_charts\/status\/1955660367071527043\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">suggested<\/a> that once the $4,800 barrier is turned into support, the cryptocurrency will be poised for a rally to the $5,200 and $6,400 levels, according to the MVRV Extreme Deviation Pricing Bands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,748, a 56% increase in the monthly timeframe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-804452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ETHUSDT_2025-08-13_15-50-06.png?w=860&#038;resize=860%2C495\" alt=\"Ethereum, eth, ethusdt\" width=\"860\" height=\"495\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area as price nears its 2021 all-time high (ATH).
