# Ethereum: the 3D turns up out of a 4-bar-old bull order block, but the weekly and monthly stay down

> Our scan flags a near-term shift on Ethereum: the 3D trend has flipped up - its efficiency ratio jumping from near-flat a week ago to 0.29 - lifting price to 1,911 above both its 3D moving averages and out of a fresh bull order block at 1,713-1,813 (just 4 bars old). But the turn is confined to the near term: the weekly and monthly both remain down (a conflicting alignment), with price still about 27% below the monthly 20-EMA.

## Key takeaways

- Alignment is conflicting: the 3D trend has turned up while the weekly and monthly stay down.
- The 3D efficiency ratio has risen to 0.29 from near-flat a week ago; price at 1,911 is back above both 3D moving averages.
- Price has lifted out of a bull order block at 1,713-1,813 that formed only 4 bars ago; 3D RSI sits on the 51 midline (neutral momentum).
- Overhead: 3D resistance at 1,946, then a bear order block at 2,009-2,150.
- The monthly is a strong downtrend - price about 27% below its 20-EMA (2,602), above a 7-touch monthly floor at 1,554.

## Where the chart sits
Ethereum last printed 1,911. This week the [multi-timeframe read](https://www.moonwire.org/insights/glossary/multi-timeframe-analysis.md) is *conflicting*: the 3D trend has turned up while the weekly and monthly are still down. That is a change from the near-directionless 3D of a week ago - the 3D [efficiency ratio](https://www.moonwire.org/insights/glossary/efficiency-ratio.md) has climbed to 0.29 from close to flat.

## Near term (3D)
The 3D trend is up but weak, and momentum is neutral - [RSI](https://www.moonwire.org/insights/glossary/relative-strength-index.md) is sitting almost exactly on the 51 midline. Price at 1,911 is now above both its 3D [moving averages](https://www.moonwire.org/insights/glossary/moving-average.md) (SMA 1,780, EMA 1,828). Notably, price has lifted up and out of a bull [order block](https://www.moonwire.org/insights/glossary/order-block.md) our scan places at 1,713-1,813 - a zone of prior concentrated buying that formed only 4 bars ago, among the freshest imbalance zones in the set. Overhead, the nearest 3D resistance is 1,946, and just above that sits a bear order block at 2,009-2,150; traders often watch such zones for a reaction.

## Higher timeframes (1W/1M)
The weekly remains down (weak) with bearish momentum (RSI 42.3), its nearest support a 3-touch level at 1,767. The monthly is the heaviest read: a strong downtrend, bearish momentum, price about 27% below its monthly 20-period EMA (2,602), and a monthly floor at 1,554 that has been tested seven times. So while the near term has turned, the structure a reader is watching still has price beneath both higher-timeframe trends.
