What levels matter next for ETH?
Holding $4,500 could trigger a rally toward $4,865, but slipping below may spark heavy selling pressure.
Ethereum [ETH] sentiment strengthened as Exchange Reserves fell, Active Addresses climbed, and bullish price action held above key levels.
Over the past week, ETH performed impressively, but now faces selling pressure. That pressure was absorbed by investors and long-term holders.

ETH price action and upcoming levels
According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, ETH retested the $4,500 level, which flipped into support after a breakout.
Contextually speaking, that earlier rally was fueled by a breakout above this level, and while the price retested it at press time, the setup remained bullish.
During the recent downturn, ETH faced resistance at a descending trendline. The breakout above that barrier cleared space for further gains.

If ETH sustained above $4,500, it could rally toward $4,865. Even so, a drop below $4,500 might invalidate the bullish case and spark heavy selling.
