Ethereum’s “Smart DCA” Indicator Hints at an Accumulation Phase

A long-term Ethereum chart that analyst James Easton shared on X highlights a spike in the “Smart DCA” indicator, which has historically appeared during periods of market accumulation. The chart overlays Ethereum’s price movements with a number of moving averages, including MA7, MA14, MA21, MA50, MA90, MA116, MA200, MA365, and MA720.

The chart also marks previous moments when the indicator was active. These areas are shown as blue circles in some of the previous market cycles. In some of these periods, the signals aligned with the price consolidation phase that preceded a larger upward movement.

At the bottom of the chart, two oscillation lines are used to track the Mega Ratio indicator. Based on analysts’ annotations, Smart DCA signals have recently accelerated, which indicates the re-emergence of accumulation behavior in the broader Ethereum market structure.

The gray vertical bands along the chart mark signal zones in the past when similar conditions have occurred. Historically, these zones coincide with transitional phases between periods of correction and recovery. The most recent signal is seen on the right side of the chart, when the indicator started rising again after having weakened in the previous period.

Ethereum Tests Key Resistance as Price Forms Higher Low

Meanwhile, the 4-hour Ethereum chart (4/3) that analyst Daan Crypto Trades shared on X shows the price attempting to move up gradually while maintaining a series of thin higher lows. The chart depicts a consolidation structure, where ETH fluctuates between a defined support area and a resistance zone above it.

The upper area around $2,100 is seen as a major resistance on the chart. A number of candles had approached this level in the last few sessions, but failed to close above it, so the wider range of movement remains intact. Based on analysts’ annotations, this zone is a level on the higher time frames that the bulls need to break in order to shift the short-term momentum.

On the other hand, the chart marks support near the lower limit, around the $1,800 area. The price previously bounced off that level after a sharp decline, which then formed the lower limit of the current trading range.

After that, the candles form a gradual higher low while repeatedly testing the top of the range. This pattern indicates a slowly increasing upside pressure, although the resistance is still holding the upside until a confirmed breakout occurs.
