ETHUSDT 24h Forecast — 2026-08-11
Tape now
ETHUSDT closed the last 4h bar at 1,870.54, sitting below all three moving averages with RSI(14) at 31.09 — neutral territory but flirting with the lower bound. MACD histogram is negative at -6.594, and price is hugging the lower Bollinger band at 1,869.51. 24h quote volume surged 30.9% to $5.33B while OI climbed 3.0% — someone's still buying the dip, but the hull stress isn't clearing.

Key levels
- Range low (42 bars): 1,866.86
- SMA(200): 1,873.20
- SMA(50): 1,893.94
- SMA(20): 1,907.63
- Range high (42 bars): 1,925.75
24h outlook
No clear directional edge here — probabilities are near a three-way split and expected return is essentially flat at -0.05%. The model gives Down 31.5% (target 1,835.24), Up 24.0% (target 1,886.94), and Flat 44.5% (stay within 1,849.59–1,891.49). Recent and similar setups leaned negative, which is why downside carries slightly more weight, but the heaviest bucket is sideways — this is a levels watch, not a trade call. Check the seals on your entries; the manifest says relay only when conviction arrives.
Watchlist note
Watch for a break below the 42-bar range low at 1,866.86 or a reclaim of the SMA(200) at 1,873.20 to signal which way the hash manifest clears.

24h Bayesian model
Horizon: 24h (6 bars on 4h)
Context: ~31.0d (186 bars loaded; recency weights ×2 last 7d, ×3 last 3d)
Market regime: RSI(14) neutral (30-70); mixed SMA(20) / SMA(200) alignment (no clean trend stack); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum)
Reference price (4h, live / anchor): 1,870.54
Expected return (24h): -0.05%
What expected return means: -0.05% is the blended average 24h move from past bars that looked similar to today — roughly balanced upside vs downside. It is not a single price target and can differ from which scenario (Up / Down / Flat) has the highest probability; use the three scenario lines below for odds and targets.
Price band (10–90%): 1,835.24 – 1,908.71 (median 1,863.70, expected 1,869.62)
24h scenarios (use these three probabilities in prose — they sum to 100%):
- Up: 24.0% → target 1,886.94 (+0.88% 24h)
- Down: 31.5% → target 1,835.24 (-1.89% 24h)
- Flat: 44.5% → stay within 1,849.59 – 1,891.49 (±1.12% from anchor; median 1,863.70)
How we built these odds:
- Today's indicator setup: RSI(14) neutral (30-70); mixed SMA(20) / SMA(200) alignment (no clean trend stack); MACD(12,26,9) histogram negative (bearish momentum).
- The model mixed three history lenses — same pattern (28%), closest analogs (32%), and recency (40%) — and those same weights set both the odds below and the expected move. The strongest pull came from bars with the same indicator pattern: on average, the next 24h moved -0.84% in those cases.
- The heaviest single bucket is flat (sideways) at 45% — the largest share of probability mass, not a guarantee. 'Flat' means staying within about ±1.12% of the anchor price over 24h.
- Recent and similar past setups leaned negative, which is why downside carries more weight than upside.
Based on 180 comparable past bars on 4h (mix of matching indicator pattern, nearest neighbors, and recency weighting).
