While Ethereum (ETH) is at a pivotal crossroads, some analysts suggest that a reclaim of a key resistance could open the door to a massive breakout. However, others have raised questions about the altcoin’s next move amid the recent market volatility and weak signals.
Ethereum Breakout: ‘A Matter Of When’Ethereum has found a new price range after turning the $2,250 level into support during the April market recovery. The cryptocurrency has been trading between the $2,250-$2,400 levels over the past few weeks, reaching a three-month high of $2,465 on April 17.
As he explained, “Structure remains intact, and multiple resistance tests have failed to break through, suggesting a breakout is looming.” To him, a breakout from the local resistance area is “a matter of when (…) and not if.”
Meanwhile, market observer Ali Martinez shared an analysis based on the MVRV pricing bands, noting that Ethereum has been attempting to reclaim its Realized Price, currently at $2,335, as support.
He explained that successfully turning this level into a support floor is a “standard technical prerequisite” for a sustained rally, and reclaiming the cost basis has historically helped build the momentum to reach the 2.4MVRV pricing band at the $5,600 mark.
ETH Weakness Risks 17% CorrectionThe analyst cautioned that failing to reclaim the bullish trendline and the bearish FVG would open the door for lower levels. Similarly, Ted Pillows warned that Ethereum has shown weakness amid the current rally, highlighting that it needs to reclaim the $2,400 area for a strong continuation.
If history repeats itself, Ethereum could lose the $2,200 support and potentially target the $2,000 psychological barrier for the first time in a month.
