BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Chairman Tom Lee called new Ethereum chart read “interesting” on Thursday, suggesting Ethereum (ETH) may be forming a short-term bottom after months of weakness, though BMNR shares failed to follow the token higher.
Lee shared a chart from former Bank of America technical strategist Stephen Suttmeier, which forecast that Ethereum could be stabilizing after a prolonged decline that has left the token about 60% below its all-time high.
Key Price Levels Could Decide Ethereum’s Next Move
According to Suttmeier, Ethereum needs to remain above the $1,693 to $1,708 support zone to preserve its recent rebound. The range aligns with several short-term technical indicators and, if maintained, would suggest selling pressure is easing rather than accelerating.
The analysis identified $1,846 to $1,876 as the next key resistance area. A move above that range would indicate stronger buying interest and could pave the way for gains toward $1,987, followed by $2,100.
If momentum continues to build, Suttmeier said the next major resistance sits between $2,225 and $2,239.
