An analyst has explained how Ethereum could see a run toward the $6,000 level if this historical pattern continues to hold for the asset’s price.
Ethereum Ascending Channel Could Reveal Its Next Destination
In a new on X, analyst Ali Martinez has discussed a pattern that the 1-week price of Ethereum has potentially been following during the last couple of years.
The pattern in question is the “Ascending Channel” from technical analysis (TA), which is a type of Parallel Channel. In a Parallel Channel, the asset consolidates between two parallel trendlines, with the upper level connecting successive tops and the lower bottoms.
These two levels are slopped upwards in the case of an Ascending Channel, as already hinted at by its name. Thus, an Ascending Channel only forms when the asset sets higher highs and lows.
The lower level of the pattern can support the price, while the upper one may act as resistance. If either of these levels break, the asset could see a continuation of trend in that direction; a surge above the top line can be a bullish sign, while a drop under the bottom line can foreshadow a bearish outcome.
There is also another type of Parallel Channel, called the Descending Channel, which works much in the same way as the Ascending Channel, except for the fact that it points downwards.
Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Ascending Channel that the 1-week Ethereum price could be trading inside right now:

As displayed in the above graph, the 1-week Ethereum price has recently been retesting the bottom level of this potential Ascending Channel pattern. The analyst has highlighted what happened the last few times that the coin made a retest of this line.
“Every bounce off this channel’s lower boundary has historically led to an average 130% price increase for Ethereum,” notes Martinez. Thus, if the Ascending Channel continues to hold for the cryptocurrency, it could benefit from another surge shortly
“If this pattern holds, a similar move could push ETH to $6,000—provided the $2,300 support level stays intact,” says the analyst. This support level naturally corresponds to the channel’s bottom line, a drop beyond which could potentially invalidate the formation.
Given this pattern forming in its weekly chart, It remains to be seen how the Ethereum price will develop in the coming months.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.
In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.
Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.
Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..
Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.
Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.
As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.
Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.
Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
