Ethereum price started a fresh decline below the $2,600 zone. ETH is now 
consolidating losses and might attempt to recover above the $2,550 resistance. 
Ethereum started a fresh decline below the $2,580 level. The price is trading 
below $2,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a rising 
channel forming with support at $2,490 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data 
feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it settles above 
the $2,620 resistance zone in the near term. Ethereum Price Eyes Upside Break 
Ethereum price started a fresh decline below the $2,600 support level, like 
Bitcoin. ETH price declined below the $2,550 and $2,540 levels. The bears even 
pushed the price below the $2,500 level. The pair tested the $2,450 zone and 
started a consolidation phase. There was a minor move above the $2,520 level. 
The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move 
from the $2,680 swing high to the $2,456 low. Ethereum price is now trading 
below $2,540 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a 
rising channel forming with support at $2,490 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. 
On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $2,540 level. The next 
key resistance is near the $2,565 level. It is close to the 50% Fib 
retracement level of the downward move from the $2,680 swing high to the 
$2,456 low. The first major resistance is near the $2,620 level. A clear move 
above the $2,620 resistance might send the price toward the $2,660 resistance. 
An upside break above the $2,660 resistance might call for more gains in the 
coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,720 
resistance zone or even $2,800 in the near term. More Losses In ETH? If 
Ethereum fails to clear the $2,565 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. 
Initial support on the downside is near the $2,490 level. The first major 
support sits near the $2,455 zone. A clear move below the $2,455 support might 
push the price toward the $2,360 support. Any more losses might send the price 
toward the $2,320 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at 
$2,250. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is losing

Ethereum Price Stuck In a Range — Are Bulls Ready to Break Out?

Bitcoiners split on $94K or $114K for BTC’s next move as it trades sideways

Bitcoin continues to trade below its recent all-time high as selling pressure 
and macroeconomic developments keep the asset in consolidation. At the time of 
writing, BTC is priced at $104,835, down 2.1% over the past week and around 
6.3% off from its peak of $111,814 recorded last month. Despite the broader 
trend, on-chain data reveals emerging patterns that may signal what could come 
next in the market. Following the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest 
rates unchanged in its latest policy meeting, analysts have noted diverging 
trends in Bitcoin’s price and derivatives market activity. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin’s Momentum Wobbles—Analyst Predicts Correction Below $94K Derivatives 
Deleveraging and Liquidation Clusters Shape Price Structure According to Amr 
Taha, a contributor on CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, BTC has been hovering 
above the $104,000 support zone, where strong demand appears to be absorbing 
sell pressure. However, Taha pointed out that open interest on Binance has 
declined, forming lower lows, a sign that the derivatives market is undergoing 
progressive deleveraging. Taha’s analysis emphasized a technical divergence: 
while price has remained relatively stable around the $104,000 level, open 
interest has been falling. This divergence suggests that traders are reducing 
leveraged positions, possibly due to market uncertainty or as a response to 
the Fed’s cautious stance. Notably, the $104K region has emerged as a critical 
liquidity pocket, with data showing long positions being liquidated massively 
in this area. The dominance of long-side liquidations, with few short 
liquidations, reflects a flush-out of recent entrants attempting to ride the 
previous rally. The analyst argued that this deleveraging phase could pave the 
way for a price rebound if macro conditions remain favorable. Historically, 
Bitcoin has responded positively to rate pauses, often resuming upward 
movement when signs of seller exhaustion appear. The stabilization of open 
interest, combined with reduced liquidations, might act as a foundation for a 
new upward push in the near term. Bitcoin Whale Activity on Binance and Shifts 
in Market Behavior In a separate analysis, another CryptoQuant analyst, 
Oinonen, highlighted growing whale activity on Binance. Since 2023, the whale 
ratio metric on the exchange has surged dramatically, climbing from 0.08 in 
mid-2023 to as high as 0.77 in 2025. This shift marks a 400% increase and 
indicates significant accumulation behavior among large holders. Whale inflows 
and retention on Binance have generally coincided with longer-term confidence 
during periods of market volatility. Related Reading: Bitcoin Channel Break 
Below $105,000 Sparks Panic, Analysts Predict Further Crashes Moreover, the 
data shows that during recent episodes of elevated volatility, Binance users 
have leaned toward holding rather than exiting positions. Inflows to the 
platform have remained low, particularly from both whales and retail 
participants, suggesting that market participants are refraining from panic 
selling and instead are anticipating future price appreciation. Featured image
