Ethereum’s long term “Smart DCA” signal has surged again, matching past zones that appeared during earlier accumulation phases. At the same time, the four hour chart shows $ETH carving higher lows while repeatedly testing the $2.1K resistance band.
Ethereum “Smart DCA” Indicator Signals Accumulation Phase
A long term Ethereum chart shared by analyst James Easton on X highlights a surge in the “Smart DCA” indicator, which historically appeared during periods of market accumulation. The chart overlays Ethereum price with several moving averages, including MA7, MA14, MA21, MA50, MA90, MA116, MA200, MA365, and MA720.

The chart also marks previous moments when the indicator activated. These areas appear in blue circles across earlier market cycles. In several of those periods, the signal aligned with price consolidation phases that occurred before larger upward moves.
In the lower section of the chart, two oscillating lines track the Mega Ratio indicators. According to the analyst’s annotation, the Smart DCA signal has recently accelerated, which suggests renewed accumulation behavior within the broader Ethereum market structure.
Vertical gray bands across the chart mark past signal zones where similar conditions appeared. Historically, these zones coincided with transitional phases between corrections and recovery periods. The latest signal appears near the right side of the chart, where the indicator begins rising again after a recent decline.
Ethereum Tests Key Resistance as Price Forms Higher Lows
Meanwhile, a four hour Ethereum chart shared by analyst Daan Crypto Trades on X shows price attempting to move gradually higher while maintaining a sequence of marginally higher lows. The chart outlines a consolidation structure where $ETH fluctuates between a defined support area and a resistance zone above.

The upper band around the $2,100 region appears as the primary resistance area on the chart. Several candles approached that level in recent sessions but failed to close above it, keeping the broader range intact. According to the analyst’s annotation, this zone represents a higher time frame level that bulls must break to shift short term momentum.
Meanwhile, the chart marks support near the lower boundary around the $1,800 area. Price previously bounced from that level after a sharp decline, which established the lower end of the current trading range.
Since then, candles have formed slightly higher lows while repeatedly testing the upper section of the range. This pattern suggests gradual upward pressure, although resistance continues to cap advances until a confirmed breakout occurs.
