Simply put, ETH's 400 price lvl is equivalent to 6k price level of BTC.
Once S/R flip happens, it should be all smooth sailing for ETH as long as the macro condition remains strong.
Three main catalysts all converge together at the same time.
#1. Fundamental factor-
Medalla is the final testnet before the launch of the Eth 2.0 network, which according to Vitalik's optimistic expectation, can be expected to happen before the end of this year. The official launch timeline of ETH 2.0 has been delayed several times already, but the benefits of enhanced scalability and privacy can't be overstated once the network switches to Proof-of-stake (PoS).
#2. Short-term hype & buzz-
DeFi gold rush has just started. However, there is a good chance that it will fade away like IEO of last year. The high interest rate is unsustainable as ppl are moving from one lending platform to another in the constant search of high yield and governance/lending token appreciation. Most decentralization exchanges (DEX) also benefit from the yield farming phenomenon as most experienced record trading volume last month.
There are two reasons why ETH's price will go up because of the yield farming. First, since most lending and DEX tokens are sitting on the Ethereum blockchain, it is plausible to think that it could propel ETH's price as long as the amount of ETH locked in DeFi contracts has the impact on the supply of ETH. Second, according to The Block, the market cap of all ETH tokens recently surpassed the market cap of ETH itself. Therefore, ETH is possibly poised to rise as growth in the utility layer trickles down to the base layer.
#3. Technical lvl-
As stated above, 400 price lvl is an important psychological lvl. Once it is breached and retested, it will become a strong support lvl. Moreover, I believe ETH has more upside than BTC as it still has a long way to go before it reaches its previous ATH.
Furthermore, two of Ethereum's major competitions, Tron and Cardano, are falling behind in the DeFi and Dapp race as TRX has just announced to enter the DeFi space and ADA is lackluster in the Dapp performance.
Even if the 400 resistance lvl is strong, ETH is still poised for the major breakthrough in the near to mid-term. I would continue to accumulate on the dip when the price drops to those two buy zones I list in my chart.
