Ethereum (ETH) remains the DeFi darling, but its recent price action is scripting a classic Elliott Wave thriller. As Bitcoin consolidates above $68,000, an insightful update from chart maestro @ai_charts, dissects the ETH/USD daily chart: an initial impulse surge from October lows has primed the pump for a second leg up. The verdict? Go long around $3,640 to ride the impending wave, or pivot short if $4,300 range resistance holds firm and triggers rejection.

Zooming into the TradingView snapshot from mid-October to early November 2025, ETH’s candlesticks paint a bullish bias. We bottomed at $3,500 on October 18 amid ETF outflow jitters, then impulsed 12% to $3,950 by October 23—marking wave 1 in Elliott parlance. Now consolidating in a tight $3,600–$3,800 range, the chart flags $3,640 as the sweet-spot entry for wave 2’s retracement buy. Upside targets? A measured move pencils $4,500 (wave 3 extension) by mid-November, assuming 61.8% Fib confluence. Volume divergence on the pullback—rising buys versus fading sells—screams accumulation, with MACD histogram flipping positive for the first time since September.

This isn’t just technical sorcery; fundamentals are stacking the deck. Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade’s echoes linger, slashing layer-2 fees by 90% and igniting a 30% surge in TVL to $120B. Spot ETH ETFs, greenlit in July, clocked $2.1B inflows last week, per Bloomberg, outpacing Bitcoin’s. Whispers of a Vitalik Buterin-led scalability pitch at Devcon in November could catalyze restaking protocols, funneling more ETH into yields. On-chain, active addresses hit 1.2M daily—a 22% QoQ jump—signaling real utility beyond memes.
Caveats? Plenty. A Fed pivot delay or Solana’s meme-fueled siphon could cap ETH at $4,000. If $3,600 support cracks, $3,200 beckons. But with RSI at 55 (neutral yet coiling) and BTC dominance dipping below 55%, alt momentum favors the long. $4,300 looms as the make-or-break: breach it, and $5,000 enters chat; reject, and shorts feast to $3,200. In Ethereum’s maturation arc, this impulse duo could etch Q4 gains. Traders, position accordingly—the wave’s cresting.
