The market structure of Ethereum was bullish on the 4-hour chart. As mentioned earlier, the price action on the daily chart also favors the bulls. The CMF showed significant capital inflows directed into the market, and the OBV has also noted gains in recent days.

The RSI has fallen back to the neutral 50 mark but could revive soon. Despite what the indicators say, if ETH was truly bullish, the breakout to $2000 has no business reversing back into the previous range formation.
