Can Ethereum Break Through $4,000 Amid SEC Scrutiny?
An analyst has asserted that ETH remains on track to reclaim the $4,000 mark.
The conclusion emerged from a bullish pattern observed on ETH’s four-hour candlestick.
However, Ethereum is reportedly under the SEC’s scrutiny, dimming the prospects for $4k.
Market Watcher Captain Faibik has argued that Ethereum (ETH) could be on a path to reclaim the lost $4,000 price amid a potential regulatory hurdle. In a recent analysis of ETH’s trajectory on X, Faibik disclosed that the $4,000 target has become evident.
The analyst reached this conclusion after observing ETH’s established candlestick patterns in the four-hour timeframe. Specifically, he observed a bullish breakout through a descending wedge pattern, a known technical formation that marks the end of an asset’s consolidation phase. Accordingly, the analyst declared that the $4,000 threshold for Ethereum is on the horizon
At press time, ETH trades at $3,468, having increased by 4.3% over the past 24 hours. Interestingly, the asset only needs a 15.34% rally to reclaim the $4K threshold. Meanwhile, Ethereum traded at $4,067 early this month, one of its peak points in 2021. While the Bitcoin market correction caused Ethereum’s price to dip below the threshold, ETH witnessed more pronounced declines within the last seven days.
In particular, ETH crashed to as low as $3,070 on March 20 following reports of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) working silently to classify the asset as a security. The reports suggest that the SEC has requested financial records from U.S. companies involved in transactions with the Ethereum Foundation.
