Main insights:
Ether’s recovery from a significant support level reinstates $4,500 as a potential target.
MVRV bands indicate ETH’s price remains above support, aiming for a climb to $5,000.
Ethereum’s native asset, Ether (ETH), has surged over 15% two weeks after dropping to a two-month low of $3,435. Various indicators now suggest that ETH could potentially rise towards $4,500 by the end of October.
ETH price bull flag bounce activated
The rebound in Ethereum is taking shape within a bull flag pattern, a formation typically signaling the continuation of an existing uptrend following a brief period of consolidation.
In this instance, the flag is characterized by a descending parallel channel, developing after a steep ascent from its April low around $2,500 to the August peak near $4,950, as illustrated below.
The recent bounce from the channel’s lower boundary near $3,500 aligns with support from the 200-day exponential moving average (200-day EMA; the blue wave), a level historically appealing to dip buyers during bullish markets.
If the recovery momentum persists, ETH could aim for a breakout towards the channel’s upper boundary, approximately in the $4,450-4,500 range in October.
This interim upside target corresponds with analyst FOUR’s double bottom technical formation, which projects ETH’s price reaching the structure’s neckline resistance at $4,750 shortly.
Trader Luca also foresees ETH rallying towards $4,500 (the red area in the chart below), considering it has remained above its “weekly bull market support band,” shown through the yellow area.
Moreover, a breakout beyond this zone could propel the price towards the bull flag target, exceeding $5,200, potentially reaching a new record high by November.
Conversely, a decline below the support confluence, the bull flag’s lower boundary, and 200-day EMA support (the blue wave) around $3,550 could invalidate the pattern, exposing ETH to deeper corrections toward $3,000-3,200.
Ethereum MVRV reinforces $4,500 target
Ethereum’s MVRV Extreme Deviation Pricing Bands indicate that its recent downturn has stabilized near the mean band around $3,900, a level that historically serves as a launching pad for new rallies.

Every time ETH has rebounded off this midpoint, including early 2021, mid-2023, and early 2024, it has moved toward the +1σ (standard deviation) band, which is currently around $5,000.
This pattern suggests that ETH is in the “healthy correction” phase of its ongoing bull market, not signaling exhaustion. A move towards the $4,500–$5,000 range by late October seems statistically viable if the mean level continues to act as support.
