Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has just formed a death cross on its hourly chart. A death cross occurs when a short-term moving average falls below a longer-term one, indicating potential downward momentum.

On the hourly chart, Ethereum’s 50-hour moving average crossed below the 200-hour moving average, forming the "death cross" pattern. While moving average crossovers on the daily or weekly charts tend to carry more weight, such signals on the hourly chart might depict short-term weakness.

Major cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, saw volatile trading in the early Friday session. Ethereum in particular extended its drop from a July 31 high of $3,878 to an intraday low of $3,563 before slightly rebounding to trade near $3,633.

Despite a shaky start to August, Ethereum (ETH) rose more than 48% in July, its highest performance in three years.

What's next for ETH price?

The last time ETH climbed this much in a single month was in July 2022, when it was recovering from the low of the crypto downturn triggered by high-profile implosions of Terra-Luna, Three Arrows Capital and Celsius.

As for what comes next, the ETH price is currently up against resistance near $4,000, where repeated attempts to break higher failed last year. The cryptocurrency market is also approaching a historically quiet period marked by a consolidation phase.

According to Glassnode, ETH's +1σ Active Realized Price band, now around $4,500, is a key upside threshold for the current surge. This level served as resistance in March 2024 and throughout the 2020-2021 cycle. Breakouts above it might indicate market euphoria and increased risk of structural instability.
