Ethereum staged an impressive comeback, surged from a low level of $1,380 to a current level of 21%, following a week of intense sales pressure. The rally began last Wednesday and was sparked by major geopolitical developments. US President Donald Trump has announced a 90-day suspension on mutual tariffs in all countries except China. The announcement injected a wave of optimism across the global market, with Ethereum among the best beneficiaries.

Despite this bullish recovery, ETH is below critical resistance levels, and the broader price structure continues to form an integrated pattern. The market is currently waiting to see if this rebound will evolve into a complete reversal or simply into a relief rally amid continuing macroeconomic uncertainty.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez shares the X technology charts and highlights that Ethereum is currently integrating within the symmetrical triangles of the charts for the first time in time. According to Martinez, this pattern usually indicates an imminent breakout, and if ETH enters upwards it can cause 17% movement upwards.
As traders and investors closely monitor, Ethereum’s next direction moves could likely depend on both broader sentiment regarding the US-China trade tensions and its impact on risky assets.
Ethereum faces serious resistance amid macroeconomic uncertainty
Ethereum is trading at a pivotal level of resistance that can determine the next major movement in the market. After rebounding 21% from the $1,380 low, ETH is now just below a critical level that could cause a wider recovery rally if regenerated. Despite this strong bounce, macroeconomic tensions are focused, with uncertainty about US tariffs and foreign policy (particularly China’s 145% tariffs) continuing to be cautious on investors.
Crypto markets like stocks continue to be shaped by global development. While some analysts believe Ethereum is already setting prices in the worst economic downturn, some argue that recent rally is merely a temporary relief in the early stages of the wider bear market. The discussion reflects current state of emotions. It is mixed and driven by shorter-term responses than long-term convictions.
However, from a technical standpoint, Ethereum may be set up for a critical move. According to Martinez, ETH is currently integrated within symmetrical triangles of the hourly chart. This pattern often precedes a breakout, suggesting that a 17% movement could continue. Once Ethereum reaches its advantage, it can push the price back to the $2,000 level. This is a psychological and technical milestone for the asset.
For now, all eyes are on whether the bull can maintain momentum and violate the top trend line of the triangle. A strong breakout could indicate a shift in the broader market narrative, turning current integration into the basis of sustainable gatherings. Still, given the unstable macro environment, traders are cautious and monitor confirmations before fully committing to bullish papers.
The ETH Bulls face important resistance ahead
Ethereum is trading at $1,670 after temporarily setting a new four-hour height of around $1,691. This minor breakout shows that bullish momentum is being built, but it remains fragile. To see a complete reversal and start a true recovery rally, ETH must regain the $1,875 level. This is tailored to both the 4-hour 200-day moving average (MA) and the exponential moving average (EMA).
These indicators serve as strong dynamic resistance across Ethereum’s recent downward trends, with only a critical break above them validating bull control and potentially causing a surge towards the $2,000 level. Moves above $1,875 also indicate a change in the short-term market structure, giving the Bulls the confidence they need to drive higher prices.
However, if Ethereum cannot push this critical zone of resistance, the asset risks returning to a drop in demand level. Rejections on these moving averages could bring ETH back below $1,500, especially when sentiment in the broader market is exacerbated. With macroeconomic uncertainty and tariff-related volatility still looming, the Bulls need to act fast. For now, all eyes are on the $1,875 threshold.
