If bulls maintain control and push Ethereum through the all-time highs of $4862.04, Ethereum could make new highs above $5000 in the week.
On the other hand, if bears take control and push Ethereum through the 23.6% Fibonacci support, the next level to watch would be the 38.2% Fibonacci support at $3496.55.
If this support is broken, prices below $3400 could be seen in the week.
However, if volumes drop, Ethereum could trade between the all-time high of $4862.04 and the 23.6% Fibonacci support at $4017.92.
