After midnight, volumes began to decline and, this morning, the price has consolidated around the $640 mark. If the market continues to be bullish, the ETH price will continue to rise, and the pair may reach the upper border of the green ascending channel before the end of the weekend.

On the 4H time frame, bears are about to seize the initiative as buyers have failed to fix above $660. Thus, there is almost no liquidity at the current levels, suggesting that sellers can push the price of the chief crypto to the closest support at $626 soon.
