The structure read in plain English
Ethereum: bullish, testing the H1 demand zone
On Ethereum the 1-hour is bullish and 2 of the 3 higher timeframes agree (weekly and 4-hour). Looking higher, weekly structure is bullish, with the last CHoCH up through 1976.46, the daily has no clear direction and the 4-hour chart reads bullish after a CHoCH up through 2517.00. The 1-hour printed a break of structure (BOS) up through 2551.99 most recently, and the swings still show higher highs and higher lows. Right now price sits inside the H1 demand fair value gap at 2544.62–2549.51. Range position: 55%, so price is in premium. The nearest liquidity is the previous day high at 2551.53 above and the last swing low at 2513.60 below. Session: London. Clarity score: 85/100, clear.
If the structure holds: nothing changes while price stays above 2513.60, with the 2544.62–2549.51 zone as the area to watch.
If it breaks: a close below 2513.60 would be a change of character (CHoCH) and flip the 1-hour structure bearish.
