The Daily Chart
The bulls have pushed the price towards the resistance zone in the range of $1500-$1700 (in red). Ethereum has also touched the descending line (in yellow). This resistance has accompanied the price since the all-time high and has repeatedly prevented it from increasing further.
If the bulls want to revisit $2000, they will have to break out from this zone with a significant volume. Otherwise, if the upside momentum stall, participants should be prepared for a sharp increase in selling. This could send the price towards the horizontal support at $1280. However, as long as ETH trades above $1,280, the bullish momentum remains.
Key Support Levels: $1280 & $1000

The ETH/BTC Chart

From a technical point of view, the trend reversal has been confirmed by forming a higher high and higher low above 0.065 BTC. If Ethereum can reach above 0.07 BTC, this would instill further confidence in market participants. In this case, it is expected that the highest levels of 2021 to be retested above 0.08 BTC. This scenario is invalidated if the price goes below 0.06 BTC.
