Ethereum (ETH) Needs to Break $2,700 to Ignite Altcoin Rally

• Ethereum approaches a key resistance, which could spark gains if it breaks through.
• Market sentiment is mixed, with bullish signs but ongoing selling pressure affecting price.
• Technical indicators suggest potential upward momentum but warn of weakening bullish strength.

Ethereum (ETH) is at a critical juncture as it approaches the $2,700 resistance level. This level could determine whether the altcoin market will see gains. After recovering from a sharp dip, Ethereum is trying to break through this resistance, which could set the stage for a rally to the $3,000 to $3,200 range.

At its current price of $2,633.90, Ethereum remains in a trading range, with support zones at $2,556.77, $2,443.87, and $2,309.04. The resistance level is around $2,768, where it has historically encountered selling pressure.

Ethereum recently experienced a sharp sell-off, with its price falling to a low of $2,145.29 before recovering and retesting the resistance.

Michaël van de Poppe noted that this resistance test is typical market behavior. He added that the bullish momentum could continue even if Ethereum dips to the $2,500-$2,550 range.

According to van de Poppe, if Ethereum breaks above $2,700, it could reach the $3,000-$3,200 range, which would likely benefit the altcoin market.
