These levels could act as interim checkpoints, but the overall trend suggests that momentum may not stall easily at the first hurdle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_893435\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-893435\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-893435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoMichNL\/status\/2048412029950820461?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Chart from <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe <\/span>on X<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A rejection around \u20ac2,350 would likely be considered a weak outcome, especially after nearly three months of consolidation below the current resistance band. Extended consolidation phases often lead to explosive moves, meaning a deeper push toward \u20ac2,900 (roughly $3,400) appears more consistent with the buildup seen on the charts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Momentum across the broader altcoin <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/ethereum-news\/ethereum-profit-loss-indicator-is-hovering-just-below-neutral-the-market-waits-for-a-catalyst\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">market<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> could further accelerate if Bitcoin continues its climb toward the $84,000\u2013$87,000 range.
