Ethereum is holding a long-term support zone that could become the base for its next major recovery. The two charts point first toward $7,332, while a stronger multi-year cycle could eventually bring $20,000 into view.
Ethereum Weekly Setup Puts $7,332 Target in Focus
Ethereum is holding near a long-term support area around $1,500, where earlier recoveries began. Analyst Donald Dean says the wider structure could offer substantial upside if ETH confirms another move from this base.

The chart shows Ethereum repeatedly recovering from a rising support line stretching back to 2022. The current reaction also sits near a major volume shelf, suggesting buyers have previously shown strong interest between roughly $1,500 and $1,800.
The first level ETH needs to reclaim is near $1,820, followed by resistance around $2,463 and $2,874. Moving above those levels could improve the weekly structure and shift attention toward $3,344, where another large volume cluster may slow the advance.
A stronger breakout could bring Ethereum back toward its previous high near $4,868. The chart then highlights higher Fibonacci extension levels near $5,953, $6,519 and the 1.618 golden ratio at about $7,332.
However, the projected gain depends on Ethereum continuing to hold the $1,500 support region. A decisive weekly breakdown below that base would weaken the bullish structure and delay the higher targets.
Ethereum Cycle Roadmap Points to $20,000 and Beyond
Ethereum may be entering another long-term accumulation phase that mirrors the periods following Bitcoin’s 2016 and 2020 halvings. Crypto Patel’s roadmap projects a major expansion toward $20,000, with an extended target near $38,000 before the 2028 halving.

The chart places Ethereum inside a rising multi-year channel and compares the current structure with earlier post-halving cycles. In both previous cases, ETH declined into an accumulation zone, traded there for roughly 18 months and then began a much larger advance.
The immediate bullish case depends on Ethereum holding the lower channel boundary and building support around its current accumulation range. A move back above previous resistance near $3,200 would improve the structure, while a later breakout above the former high would provide stronger confirmation.
The projected $20,000 level represents the chart’s main cycle target. The higher level near $38,000 assumes Ethereum continues following the upper boundary of the long-term channel into 2028.
However, this roadmap relies on historical repetition and does not guarantee the same percentage gains. A sustained breakdown below the accumulation zone and the channel floor would weaken the comparison and delay the projected bull cycle.
