This key technical formation suggests that the Ethereum price is on track for a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-most-hated-rally\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">massive rally <\/a>toward a bullish target of $18,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum Forms Inverse Head &amp; Shoulder Pattern<\/h2>\n<p>The Ethereum price has been in a long consolidation period, experiencing a crash amid the ongoing market turmoil. Despite recording massive declines that have pushed its value significantly below all-time highs, crypto analyst Gert van Lagen on X (formerly Twitter) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GertvanLagen\/status\/1904127502278164817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">predicts<\/a> that ETH could still reach a price target of $18,000.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Ethereum recently bounced off the $1,800 &#8211; $2,000 support range, which previously served as resistance during the \u2018Head\u2019 phase of the iH&amp;S pattern. With this crucial retest confirmed, ETH may be entering the final stage of its reversal, set up to new all-time highs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lagen\u2019s $18,000 bullish target is more than 8X Ethereum\u2019s current price, underscoring the sheer magnitude of this projection. Lagen has identified the formation of the iH&amp;S structure on the Ethereum chart, supporting his <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/2025-could-be-ethereums-eth-breakout-year-to-reach-15000-but-first-this-must-happen-2\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ambitious prediction<\/a> with this renowned bullish chart pattern.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-718143\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Gert-Van-Lagen.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C322\" alt=\"Ethereum \" width=\"512\" height=\"322\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Ethereum&#8217;s price has been in a downturn, the formation of the iH&amp;S chart pattern suggests that this prolonged decline may be finally coming to an end.<\/p>\n<p>In the analyst\u2019s chart, this left shoulder of the iH&amp;S structure began forming from 2021 to 2022, experiencing a price peak before a pullback. From 2022 to 2023, a deeper decline occurred, marking the cycle low and the formation of the \u2018Head.\u2019 Finally, the right shoulder of the technical pattern was formed between 2024 to 2024, recording a higher low that aligned with the left shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Lagen\u2019s price chart highlights that the most critical level to watch is the neckline of the iH&amp;S structure, which is approximately $3,978 and acts as the primary resistance area.<\/p>\n<h2>How An $18,000 ETH Target Is Possible<\/h2>\n<p>Still looking at Lagen\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereums-worst-chart-ever\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ethereum price chart<\/a>, the analyst suggests that if ETH can surpass the $3,978 resistance level with strong volume, it could validate the Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern and open the door for a rally toward $18,000. Conversely, if Ethereum fails to break above this resistance level, a prolonged consolidation or <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-uptrend-weakens\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">significant pullback<\/a> may occur before its next breakout attempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lagen predicts that a rejection at the resistance area could see the Ethereum price drop to $1,888 \u2014 an <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/crypto-analyst-identifies-most-important-ethereum-support-level-where-is-eth-headed\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">important support level<\/a> which could prevent further declines. A drop to this support would represent a potential 52% dip from the main resistance level and an 8.52% decline from ETH\u2019s current market value of $2,055.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/WU5j0rDJ\/\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"2301\" height=\"1546\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum (ETH) is showing signs of a bullish breakout, forming a complex Inverse Head and Shoulder (iH&amp;S) pattern on the weekly timeframe.
