This market, you know, loves to twist things around. The more you feel that Ether can't rise anymore, the more likely it is to rush towards a new high—specifically that barrier above 4800. Why? Because this wave of market conditions has already educated a lot of people into "short positions." They think about shorting at every little rise, and when it dips a bit, they want to cut losses. When the price really starts to surge upwards, these people will be watching from the sidelines, feeling like they're missing out, and they definitely won't be able to resist taking action—it's not chasing rising prices, but rather thinking, "This has gone crazy, it's due for a pullback," and then they'll go ahead and open short orders.

The market is just waiting for this wave of people. The more it rises, the more short orders! Alright, your short orders are just fuel; if these orders are not burned clean, it won't easily take a break. It has to wait until it breaks new highs, making those short positions cry out in loss, before they will realize: Oh, it turns out this thing can rise like this? At that point, once their mindset changes, they will start shouting "Ethereum is awesome," and that will be the right moment.

As for the consolidation? It is estimated to be around five thousand. By then, the bulls and bears can argue again and recharge. This market has never made most people comfortable; it is always a few people who eat meat while the majority just serve as the backdrop.
