Ethereum Explodes 24% After Key Breakout: Rally To $4,956 In Play?
Ethereum has surged 24% in just over a week, breaking above a key resistance with strong volume and signaling renewed bullish momentum. With a bullish structure still intact, attention now shifts to whether ETH can sustain the move toward the $4,956 target or pause for a brief pullback first.
Ethereum Rallies 24% Into Resistance — Is A Pullback To $2,150 Next?
Following a swift 24% rally over the past 8 days, ETH has hit a major resistance level and is showing signs of rejection. According to Max Trades, this vertical move has occurred without any meaningful retracements, making a cooling-off period highly likely. A pullback at this stage is considered a healthy part of the market cycle to reset momentum.
A primary target for a potential long entry is the $2,150 level, which previously acted as range-high resistance. The setup is further bolstered by technical confluence, as this price point aligns closely with a key Fibonacci retracement level and sits above the weekly open.

Currently, Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are positioned below the spot price, providing a dynamic cushion. This suggests that the broader trend is still intact despite the immediate need for a price correction. Risk management is defined by a clear invalidation point below the $2,080 support level, which coincides with the Fibonacci Golden Pocket, a critical area for buyers to defend.
ETH Breaks Key Resistance With Volume — $4,956 Target Now In Play?
In an update, Kamile Uray noted that Ethereum has broken above the pink resistance level on the chart with strong volume; a move that stands out compared to Bitcoin, which has yet to deliver a similar high-conviction breakout. The surge in volume adds credibility to the move, suggesting that bullish momentum is gaining traction.
From a lower timeframe perspective, a sustained 4-hour close above the $2,475 level would serve as the first confirmation that the upward trend has room to continue. Holding above this zone could reinforce the breakout structure and signal that buyers remain in control in the short term.
The broader outlook remains bullish as long as Ethereum continues to defend the $1,916 bottom on the 4-hour timeframe. Maintaining this level keeps the market structure supportive of further upside within the current trend.
Uray also highlighted that the Libra formation is still in play, with an upside target near $4,956. However, the $3,445 level stands out as a key resistance on the way up, where a rejection could trigger a temporary pullback before continuation. On the downside, the formation would be invalidated if price drops below the $1,388 level, marking it as the critical stop point for the bullish scenario.

The Shopify Stock Rally Isn't Done: Chart of the Week -- Barrons.com
By Doug Busch Shopify is no longer a pandemic-era growth story that simply failed to slow down. It is compounding at a pace few software platforms its size still manage. In the second quarter of 2026, sales on its platform rose 32%. That was the fifth straight quarter of growth exceeding 30%. Merchants are also using more of Shopify's own tools, from payments to Shop Pay, and new channels like AI shopping agents are starting to increase demand. The simple bull case is that the stock already commands a huge share of independent online commerce, and that position should become more valuable as more buying moves through its checkout. A rule of market mechanics is that the vast majority of an individual security's gain is driven by its underlying sector. Within technology, software has staged a robust recovery, joining semiconductors to power the broader sector higher. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF has maintained an upward trajectory since its mid-April lows, though the advance from $74 to $112 has been choppy as bulls repeatedly stepped in to defend when necessary. Breadth across large-cap software has expanded significantly, with 24 constituents surging over 20% over the past three months. During that same three-month window, Shopify generated outstanding relative strength, advancing 36%, more than doubling the IGV's 17% gain over the same period. Expect the stock's outperformance to persist as software momentum broadens. Let's examine the daily and monthly charts to outline the technical drivers behind this thesis. Looking at the daily chart, the ratio chart against the IGV shows persistent outperformance extending back to mid-May. The stock is riding an eight-session winning streak, during which price action cleared a double-bottom-with-handle pivot at $151.39. Within this broader base, the stock recorded a bullish golden cross in late August and successfully filled its Sept. 10 price gap, tracing back to its Aug. 4 session, the day before a powerful earnings reaction sent the stock surging 17% hi
