- A bullish double bottom price action pattern has been observed on Ethereum within a 4-hour time frame.
- Short sellers do not expect ETH to reach the $3,250 level. If it does reach this level, short positions worth $1.65 billion will be liquidated.
The world’s second largest cryptocurrency Ethereum [ETH] has experienced a price increase of more than 5.5% after the recent update of spot Ethereum ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) in the United States.
After this ETF update, the overall crypto market turned green and investor sentiment changed positively.
With this impressive price momentum over the past 24 hours, ETH has just reached the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Furthermore, it is just one candle away from bullishness as it slightly lags the 200 EMA.
Ethereum bullish double bottom breakout
According to expert technical analysis, ETH looked bullish as it formed a double bottom price action pattern in a 4-hour time frame and at a neckline near the $3,085 level.
If it produces a breakout and the candle closes 4 hours above the neckline, there is a good chance that ETH will reach the $3,250 and $3,300 levels.

Moreover, this bullishness on the Ether chart also receives support from the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is in the oversold territory and signals a possible recovery.
Despite this bullish double bottom pattern, ETH has been consolidating within a tight range between the $2,850 and $3,080 levels over the past five days.
However, this consolidation occurs at a key support level, and a breakout or collapse out of this consolidation zone could create significant price momentum in either direction.
