Ethereum Breaks Through Key Resistance Level, ETF Demand Rebounds, Analysts Bullish on Future Market

BroadChain has learned that at 04:46 on April 20, according to NewsBTC, Ethereum has recently shown a resonance of technical and on-chain signals, which analysts believe could be the beginning of a meaningful recovery. For the first time in months, Ethereum's price structure appears to be shifting in favor of the bulls. The latest price movement has pushed ETH back above $2,300, laying the foundation for the next upward move. Cryptocurrency analyst Ash Crypto highlighted three key developments: First, the ETH price has reclaimed the 100-day simple moving average, a level that has acted as dynamic resistance since November 2025. Second, the resistance zone that repeatedly suppressed prices in Q1 2026 has now turned into a support zone, forming an ascending triangle pattern. ETH has already broken above the upper boundary of this triangle and is currently testing the horizontal resistance band between $2,300 and $2,370. Analysts believe that as long as ETH holds above $2,300, the next upward move will commence. As of press time, ETH is trading at $2,316. The third key development is the return of institutional capital through U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, with a recent weekly inflow of $275.83 million, marking the strongest single-week inflow since the week of January 16. Derivatives order flow data provides strong evidence of a shift in market dynamics: the persistently negative net taker volume in this cycle has now turned positive. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost pointed out that a recent net taker volume of +$102 million was recorded, the first time in this cycle that buyers have dominated the derivatives market. The last time Ethereum's derivatives market saw buying pressure of this magnitude was during the 2022 bear market, when ETH was trading around $1,000. If this trend continues, it could signal the early stages of a stronger structural recovery for Ethereum.
