A new all-time high was formed above $525 and it seems like the price is unstoppable at the moment. It has breached the 1.236 extension of the last wave from the $497 high to $421 low.
During the upside move, there was a break above a major contracting triangle with resistance at $470 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

An intermediate resistance is around the 1.618 extension of the last wave from the $497 high to $421 low near $544.
