Ethereum is showing renewed strength as it consolidates above the $2,500 mark, signaling resilience in the face of broader market volatility. After several weeks of testing the $2,700 region, ETH remains within striking distance of this critical resistance, keeping bullish momentum alive. Market sentiment has shifted in Ethereum’s favor, with analysts and investors increasingly pointing to the possibility of an upcoming altseason.

Top analyst Big Cheds shared a technical breakdown, noting that ETH is currently back to a key moving average after flexing a move above the $2,700 range. This move aligned with the underside of a key resistance level, forming a confluence zone that could act as a springboard or rejection point in the days ahead.
While Bitcoin consolidates just under its all-time high, Ethereum appears to be gaining traction as traders look for opportunities beyond BTC. With ETH holding higher lows and establishing a steady base, a breakout above the $2,700–$2,800 range could confirm a broader market rotation into altcoins. For now, bulls must maintain control above $2,500 to keep the structure intact and fuel hopes of a move higher.
Ethereum At A Pivotal Level As Bulls Defend Support
Ethereum is facing a crucial test as it struggles to reclaim higher prices and confirm a sustained uptrend. After multiple attempts to break above the $2,700 resistance zone, the price has been met with volatility, creating a choppy environment that reflects broader uncertainty in the crypto market. Despite this, analysts remain optimistic about Ethereum’s prospects, especially as altseason chatter grows louder.
Cheds recently shared a key insight: Ethereum is now back at its 20-day moving average (DMA) after briefly surging above the $2,700 range. This push met the underside of the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), creating a confluence zone that could act as the launchpad for the next rally, or the line in the sand that decides short-term direction. Holding this DMA support is critical. If bulls defend this level, it could signal renewed strength and spark a breakout that sends ETH back toward $3,000 and beyond.

Amid rising speculation and technical pressure, Ethereum’s current structure still leans bullish. It’s maintaining higher lows and continues to show signs of accumulation, which supports the thesis of a possible altseason in the near future. If BTC stabilizes and ETH clears resistance, the entire market could shift upward rapidly.

Ethereum Tests Support At Key Short-Term Levels
Ethereum is consolidating on the 4-hour chart as it hovers around $2,614, following a minor pullback from the $2,780 local top. The chart shows ETH retesting the 34-period EMA (currently near $2,624) and finding short-term support along the confluence of the 50 and 100-period SMAs. These moving averages are acting as a dynamic support band that has held firm during previous retracements in May.

The structure remains bullish overall, with higher lows maintained since the breakout on May 9. However, the current price action is forming a tightening wedge pattern, which suggests that a breakout—either up or down—is imminent. Volume has been declining slightly, indicating a potential pause before a decisive move.

For bulls, holding above the $2,580–$2,600 zone is critical. A clean bounce from here could set up another attempt to break the $2,700–$2,800 resistance area. On the flip side, a break below the 100 SMA could expose ETH to a deeper retracement toward $2,500 or even the $2,400 zone if selling pressure accelerates.
