Ethereum has remained firm above key support levels despite the broader market 
pullback in recent weeks. While many altcoins have shown weakness, ETH 
continues to trade above the $2,400–$2,500 zone, signaling strength and 
positioning itself for a potential recovery. After a volatile start to the 
year that saw steep declines, analysts are increasingly calling for a 
breakout, with some suggesting Ethereum could soon reclaim lost ground if 
current conditions hold. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Ethereum Defend Key 
Moving Averages – Bullish Signal Or Temporary Relief? However, not everyone 
agrees on the bullish outlook. Some traders warn that Ethereum’s recent 
consolidation may precede another leg down, especially if resistance near 
$2,800 remains unbroken. The debate highlights the uncertainty hanging over 
the market as macro risks and shifting liquidity continue to influence short- 
term direction. Top analyst Ted Pillows recently shared his view, noting that 
Ethereum is still consolidating after a strong May. While this pause may seem 
neutral, he pointed to rising ETF inflows and growing network activity as 
leading indicators of renewed demand. According to Pillows, these signals 
often precede price expansion, suggesting that ETH may just be gearing up for 
its next move. Ethereum Holds Firm As Market Volatility Builds Toward A 
Decisive Move Ethereum is navigating a critical moment as the broader crypto 
market faces heightened volatility and mounting uncertainty. Still trading 48% 
below its all-time high, ETH has shown impressive resilience, holding firm 
above key support levels even as sentiment wavers. The market remains on edge 
following renewed tensions between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump — a 
dynamic that has triggered risk-off behavior and short-term instability across 
assets. Despite the noise, Ethereum continues to show underlying strength. 
Bitcoin remains stable near its highs, and many altcoins appear to be coiling 
for potential breakout moves. In this context, the coming weeks could prove 
decisive for ETH, which has so far managed to consolidate after a bullish May 
without breaking key structure. Ted Pillows noted in a recent update that 
Ethereum is still consolidating, and that’s not necessarily bearish. According 
to his view, rising ETF inflows and accelerating network activity suggest that 
renewed demand is quietly building behind the scenes. Historically, these have 
been leading indicators of a breakout, and ETH looks well-positioned to take 
advantage. Momentum is shifting, and bulls are eyeing the $2,800 level as the 
next key threshold. Reclaiming that level could trigger a move toward $3,000 
in June. Beyond that, if macro conditions remain stable, Ethereum could 
realistically push to $4,000 by Q3 2025. For now, ETH remains in consolidation 
mode — but with strength in the fundamentals, technical structure, and on- 
chain trends, the case for a breakout is growing stronger. The next move will 
be crucial, not just for Ethereum, but for the broader altcoin market heading 
into summer. Related Reading: Ethereum Consolidates Below $2,800 – Bulls Need 
This Level To Trigger Next Leg Up ETH Holds Mid-Range Structure Amid Continued 
Consolidation Ethereum continues to trade within a tight range, holding at 
$2,513 after briefly dipping to $2,479 earlier in the session. As seen on the 
daily chart, ETH remains in consolidation beneath the key resistance at 
$2,659, marked by the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), which has capped 
several upside attempts throughout June. Despite failing to break out, the 
structure remains constructive. The 34-day EMA ($2,435.80) and 50-day SMA 
($2,284.93) continue to act as dynamic support. ETH recently bounced off the 
34 EMA after testing that level for three consecutive days, signaling buyers 
are still present and defending key zones. Meanwhile, volume remains muted, 
reflecting indecision and lack of conviction from both bulls and bears. For 
now, the $2,430–$2,660 range defines the battleground. A daily close above the 
200 SMA would indicate bullish continuation toward the $2,800 level. 
Conversely, a breakdown below $2,430 could trigger a larger retrace toward 
$2,200. Related Reading: Solana Key Indicator Flashes Buy Signal On Daily 
Chart – Rally Ahead? Ethereum&#8217;s current behavior reflects a market waiting for 
a catalyst. With rising ETF inflows and steady on-chain activity, momentum 
could return quickly, but until then, ETH remains trapped in a sideways grind. 
The next confirmed move out of this range will likely dictate the trend 
heading into late June. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
