For traders, his setup frames a breakout watch with the 21-day MA acting as dynamic support during the compression phase, source: @CryptoMichNL on X, Jan 17, 2026.

According to @cas_abbe, ETH’s uptrend remains intact after a needed flush of overleveraged longs shown by recent red candles, which he views as a healthy reset for continuation. According to @cas_abbe, ETH may trade sideways for a few days, with a potential dip toward the $4,100–$4,200 zone acting as a key area to watch. According to @cas_abbe, after this consolidation and potential pullback, ETH is positioned to break to a new all-time high, which he expects would unlock liquidity. According to @cas_abbe, the trading focus is the $4,100–$4,200 support area during consolidation and the subsequent breakout to a new ATH for momentum confirmation.
