Ethereum Nears $2,450 Showdown As Bulls And Bears Split On Next Move

Ethereum(ETH) is retesting the $2,450 resistance for the third time this month, a level analysts say could either unlock a rally toward $2,900 or trigger another rejection.

ETH Retests $2,450 Ceiling

ETH climbed 3.6% on Wednesday and tapped $2,425 intraday, according to technical breakdowns.

The move extends a 15% rebound from April's lows and marks the first time in three months that ETH has held the upper half of its $1,800 to $2,450 range.

Last Friday the token reached a three-month high of $2,464 before slipping back below resistance.

Analyst Crypto Rand argued that consolidation above $2,450 would trigger a major bullish reversal, while Daan Crypto Trades noted the weekly 200 moving average sits at the same level, lost as support in mid-January.

Analysts Split On ETH Path

Not everyone is convinced. Trader Ted Pillows warned that spot demand remains stagnant, raising the risk of a liquidity grab similar to the January rejection near $3,400.

Ali Martinez took the opposite view. He pointed out that ETH's SuperTrend indicator has flipped bullish for the first time since the first half of 2025, opening a measured path to $2,900 if buyers clear $2,385.

Ethereum has traded between $1,800 and $2,450 since the February crash, failing on multiple breakout attempts before the current recovery fueled by easing US-Iran tensions.
