ETHUSDT 24h Forecast — 2026-08-14
Tape now
ETH is sitting below all three moving averages at $1,876.91, with RSI(14) at 47.93 and MACD histogram slightly negative — that's mixed_ma territory, no clean trend stack. 24h quote volume pulled back 24.3% to $4.69B, and last-bar contracts (273,045) ran below the 20-bar average (440,528). See Kwon's morning brief (2026-08-14-morning) for the full liquidity picture.
Key levels
- Range low (42 bars): $1,862.00
- Bollinger lower (20, 2.0σ): $1,864.44
- SMA(20): $1,884.29
- SMA(200): $1,882.87
- Range high (42 bars): $1,925.75
24h outlook
No clear directional edge here — probabilities are near a three-way split with expected return at +0.05% and a 10–90% band of $1,850.72–$1,902.62. The model assigns 14.9% odds to upside (target $1,888.02), 12.4% to downside (target $1,850.72), and 72.7% to flat (sideways within $1,854.58–$1,899.24). That's a levels watch, not a trade call — the heaviest probability bucket is sideways, and analog history leaned just enough positive to give upside slightly more weight than downside.
Watchlist note
Keep eyes on the $1,862–$1,864 support zone and whether price can reclaim the SMA(20)/SMA(200) cluster around $1,883.

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): 1,876.91
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 — a slight upward lean on balance. 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%): 1,850.72 – 1,902.62 (median 1,880.32, expected 1,877.92)
24h scenarios (use these three probabilities in prose — they sum to 100%):
- Up: 14.9% → target 1,888.02 (+0.59% 24h)
- Down: 12.4% → target 1,850.72 (-1.40% 24h)
- Flat: 72.7% → stay within 1,854.58 – 1,899.24 (±1.19% from anchor; median 1,880.32)
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 +0.23% in those cases.
- The heaviest single bucket is flat (sideways) at 73% — the largest share of probability mass, not a guarantee. 'Flat' means staying within about ±1.19% of the anchor price over 24h.
- Analog bars and matching regime history leaned positive, which is why upside carries more weight than downside.
Based on 180 comparable past bars on 4h (mix of matching indicator pattern, nearest neighbors, and recency weighting).
