Ethereum: the monthly floor at 1,548 takes an eighth touch, the highest touch count anywhere in our coverage

Aug 5, 2026 · ETH

Ethereum's monthly support has resolved to 1,548.08 with eight touches - the highest touch count on any timeframe for any of the three assets we cover - and it is the only monthly support our scan flags. Price at 1,864.84 sits 20.46% above it, while the 3D uptrend was downgraded to weak and its efficiency ratio fell from 0.44 to 0.12.

What changed since last week

Last week's read led on Ethereum being the only one of the three with a near-term uptrend, sitting above an unmitigated bullish order block. Both remain true, but the supporting numbers have thinned. Price is -0.58% at 1,864.84. The 3D trend is still up, but trend strength has been downgraded from moderate to weak, and the 3D efficiency ratio fell from 0.44 to 0.12. The order block at 1,713.44-1,813.16 has aged from 7 bars to 9 and remains unmitigated, but the cushion above it narrowed from 3.45% to 2.85%. A nearer 3D resistance has appeared at 1,981.24, replacing 2,199.00 as the first level overhead. Ethereum is also the only one of the three whose alignment label did not change this week — it was already conflicting, and the other two have now joined it.

The monthly floor picked up an eighth touch

The single most notable number in Ethereum's snapshot is on the monthly. The nearest monthly support has resolved from 1,554.13 with seven touches to 1,548.08 with eight — the highest touch count anywhere in our coverage, on any timeframe, for any of the three assets. The next-highest is six, on Bitcoin's weekly. It is also the only support our monthly scan flags for Ethereum: below it, the level list is empty. Price sits 20.46% above it.

A high touch count describes a price region that has repeatedly acted as a pivot in the historical record. It is a measure of how often the level has mattered, not a statement about what happens next.

Trend and momentum across the three timeframes

The 3D is up but weak: price is 3.60% above the 20-period EMA (1,800.01) and above the SMA (1,776.55), with RSI at 48.52 and momentum classified neutral — the only non-bearish momentum reading in the entire three-asset set this week. The efficiency ratio of 0.12 is the second-lowest of the nine readings we compute, so like Bitcoin, this uptrend carries little net displacement.

The weekly is down with weak strength, RSI 41.42, price 2.88% below the weekly 20-period EMA at 1,920.10. Its efficiency ratio also fell, 0.21 to 0.15. Nearest weekly support is 1,767.36 with three touches; the first weekly resistance is far overhead at 2,425.47.

The monthly is down with strong strength and an efficiency ratio of 0.63 — the most directional of Ethereum's three legs. Monthly RSI is 42.98, unchanged to two decimal places from last week's 42.98. Price is 26.09% below the monthly 20-period EMA at 2,523.13, and monthly resistance sits at 2,066.88 with three touches.

The one bullish zone left in coverage

Ethereum's 3D bullish order block at 1,713.44-1,813.16 is now the only unmitigated bullish zone beneath price anywhere across the three assets. Bitcoin has none on its 3D or weekly, Solana has none on any timeframe, and Bitcoin's sole bullish zone sits far above price on the monthly. The zone is 9 bars old and spans 99.72 points, narrower than the 3D ATR of 119.97. Price is 2.85% above its upper edge, down from 3.45% a week ago.

Unmitigated bearish zones sit above on every timeframe: 2,009.30-2,149.95 on the 3D at 24 bars old, 3,065.55-3,402.89 on the weekly, and 2,017.04-2,464.91 on the monthly at 4 bars old.

Cross-asset context

All three assets now share the same direction map — 3D up, weekly down, monthly down — and the same conflicting alignment label. Ethereum is the one that did not move to get there; Bitcoin and Solana both flipped their 3D legs up this week to match a structure Ethereum already showed a week ago. Ethereum also carries the shallowest weekly discount of the three: 2.88% below its weekly 20-period EMA, against Bitcoin's 4.54% and Solana's 5.37%.
