This powerful move has helped ETH break through multiple resistance levels and recapture price territory lost months ago.<\/p>\n<p>The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has been leading the altcoin charge. During ETH&#8217;s 45% rise, Bitcoin managed only a 7.9% increase.<\/p>\n<p>This performance gap caused Bitcoin&#8217;s market dominance to fall from 65.36% to 62.38% in less than a week. The broader altcoin market added $232 billion in value during this period.<\/p>\n<p>After hitting an 18-month low of $1,380 in April, <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/ethereum-eth-casinos\/\">Ethereum<\/a> began showing signs of recovery. The real breakout came last Thursday when ETH smashed through the $2,000 resistance level.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the cryptocurrency has claimed several key price zones, including $2,100 and $2,300. Over the weekend, it tested the $2,600 level, reaching a two-month high of $2,624 on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>As of the most recent data, Ethereum trades at $2,597, showing a 5% increase on the daily chart.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38102\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38102\" style=\"width: 1028px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-38102\" src=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eth-price-2.webp\" alt=\"Ethereum (ETH) Price\" width=\"1028\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eth-price-2.webp 1028w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eth-price-2-300x209.webp 300w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eth-price-2-120x84.webp 120w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eth-price-2-768x536.webp 768w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eth-price-2-50x35.webp 50w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eth-price-2-150x105.webp 150w, https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/eth-price-2-450x314.webp 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ethereum (ETH) Price<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Market Indicators Point Higher<\/h2>\n<p>Several technical indicators support the bullish case for Ethereum. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) has reversed its year-long downtrend, showing buyers have taken control of the market.<\/p>\n<p>The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) stands at +0.25, revealing substantial capital flowing into ETH. The Money Flow Index (MFI) continues to rise, confirming the positive momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at liquidation data provides additional insight. The 6-month liquidation heatmap identifies $2,900 as a magnetic zone that seems likely to pull Ethereum&#8217;s price higher in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>However, traders should exercise caution. Current liquidation maps show high leverage long positions are open, and a drop to $2,400-$2,500 could trigger widespread liquidations.<\/p>\n<p>This data suggests a possible downward move to hunt liquidity before any sustained push higher. Whale activity has increased recently, with larger holders depositing ETH into exchanges, often a sign of profit-taking.<\/p>\n<p>Market analyst Castillo Trading notes that Ethereum is &#8220;doing exactly what it should be. Taking some time to build a base at important levels before the next move.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a> doing exactly what it should be.

According to analyst Rekt Capital, this weekly close at $2,514 marks a key technical achievement.<\/p>\n<p>History suggests that ETH will &#8220;likely lift across the Range&#8221; over time, while &#8220;any dips, if needed at all, would only solidify $2200 as Range Low support,&#8221; according to the analyst.<\/p>\n<p>The cryptocurrency has successfully filled the $2,530-$2,630 Daily CME Gap created in March. Two smaller CME Gaps have formed at the $2,300-$2,400 and $2,100-$2,200 levels, which may be closed in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Most analysts expect Ethereum to trade sideways for the next few days. The $2,400-$2,700 zone appears to be the likely trading range, with &#8220;some shakeouts in both directions before continuing its next leg up,&#8221; as one market watcher put it.<\/p>\n<p>For Ethereum to push beyond the psychologically important $3,000 level, several factors may need to align. Bullish Bitcoin movement and favorable macroeconomic conditions would help catalyze such a move.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-month liquidation heatmap shows a pattern of consolidation followed by upward movement. In early May, ETH consolidated around $1,800 before triggering short liquidations at $1,900 and pushing higher.<\/p>\n<p>A similar but less intense pattern may be forming now. Liquidity has built up near the $2,700 level, with ETH already claiming some of it.<\/p>\n<p>The Pectra upgrade has attracted interest from investors beyond the retail sector. However, this has coincided with increased selling pressure as whales deposit funds into centralized exchanges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TLDR: ETH price has surged nearly 45% over the past week, breaking the five-month downtrend The $2,900 price zone acts as a strong attractor based on liquidation data Recent whale movements show increased selling into centralized exchanges Technical analysis suggests consolidation between $2,400-$2,700 before next move ETH has successfully reclaimed its macro range of $2,200-$3,900<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9001,"featured_media":28043,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":78,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28150,28155],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-38101","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-analysis","8":"category-ethereum"},"wppr_data":{"cwp_meta_box_check":"No"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.1 -
