Crypto strategist Benjamin Cowen believes that Ethereum (ETH) can follow gold’s price action this year en route to printing new record highs.
In a new strategy session, the analyst tells his 931,000 YouTube subscribers that he sees Ethereum consolidating above $4,000 in the coming weeks to wait for a key technical indicator to rise before blasting to new all-time highs.
According to Cowen, the same pattern was witnessed in gold this year, when the precious metal consolidated above $3,100 before rallying to its record high of $3,700.
“There does exist a scenario where Ethereum just kind of goes sideways until the 21-week EMA (exponential moving average) catches up, and then it goes higher. That is also a perfectly valid outcome. In fact, we just saw that outcome play out with gold…
That’s exactly what happened with gold. You can see it. It had a big rally, and then it just went sideways until the bull market support band caught up, and then it pushed to a new all-time high… It’s done it plenty of times, where it’ll wait for the 21-week EMA or the 20-week SMA (simple moving average).
It’ll wait for them to catch up, and then it pushes higher, but it doesn’t necessarily have to go all the way down there.”
