Bulls Back in Control as Ethereum Breaks Out

It started when Ethereum went above $1,880 this week. As it went past $1,950, analysts say the momentum built took it through the $2,000 psychological level. Market data shows Ethereum has been up 25% in just a few days, hitting an intraday high of $2,241 before pulling back slightly to consolidate. This comes after the recent Pectra update which was also expected to buy hype into Ethereum.

According to CoinGecko, Ethereum is currently at $2,217 and holding gains. It’s above the 100-hour simple moving average and short-term indicators are looking good. Hourly RSI is above 50 and MACD is bullish.

Ali Martinez on X (formerly Twitter) noted,

“This is a very important level for #Ethereum $ETH!”.

His target aligns with the next resistance at $2,320, then $2,450 and potentially $2,500 if volume stays high.

Market Sentiment and On-Chain Metrics Are Bullish

Ethereum’s rally has also been backed by on-chain data. According to Glassnode, exchange outflows have increased this week, holders are moving ETH to cold wallets in anticipation of further price increases.

Trading volume has also picked up. In the last 24 hours, Ethereum’s trading volume has surpassed $18 billion, 34% increase from the previous day according to CoinMarketCap. Analysts see this as institutional and retail buyers are both participating in the current upswing.

Ethereum’s fundamentals haven’t changed, but this rally shows market participants still believe in the long-term thesis, analysts have aired. It is also believed that with Bitcoin ETFs bringing traditional capital into crypto, Ethereum could be next to benefit from institutional inflows, especially with its Ethereum ETFs.

Levels to Watch: Support and Resistance

Bullish structure is still intact but traders are watching these levels. Immediate resistance is at $2,250, then $2,320 and $2,450. A move above $2,450 could be a retest of $2,500.

On the downside, first support is at $2,200, then the trendline support at $2,150. Break below this could bring $2,075 and $2,020 into play. Loss of $2,000 would invalidate the bullish view and could lead to deeper pullbacks.

Futures data adds another layer to the rally. According to Coinglass, over $42 million in ETH short positions were liquidated during the latest upswing. That liquidation cascade helped push the price higher as shorts were forced to cover their positions.

Open interest in ETH futures has also grown by nearly 18% over the past week. That’s a sign of growing trader appetite and confirms the momentum.

Analysts Split on Short-Term Outlook

Despite the technical breakout, some analysts are cautious. CryptoQuant’s lead analyst Dan Lim said, “Ethereum looks overbought on lower timeframes. We could see short-term consolidation or even a brief pullback before the next leg up.” Lim advises to watch volume and divergence in momentum indicators before entering new longs.

Others are more optimistic. Michaël van de Poppe, CEO of MN Trading, tweeted, “Ethereum is still lagging behind Bitcoin. A move to $2,700-$3,000 in the next few weeks is not out of the question if Bitcoin stays afloat.”

Conclusion: Ethereum Shows Strength, but Crucial Resistance Ahead

Ethereum breaking $2,200 is a clear sign that bulls are back in the game, with high volume, technical strength and improving sentiment. Speculations also remain that the momentum is buoyed by the recent pectra upgrade and the general market rally. However, with major resistance levels ahead and macro uncertainty, traders are watching the $2,250-$2,500 zone.

The next few days will tell if this breakout turns into a sustained rally or a cooldown. Either way, Ethereum seems to be back in the game.
