Ethereum is approaching a decisive technical moment as price presses into a resistance zone that has rejected every rally since February. CyrilXBT notes that ETH is now testing the lower boundary of the $2,250–$2,400 range, making the next move critical for confirming whether market structure is beginning to shift.
The chart shows ETH advancing into a clearly defined resistance band that continues to cap price action. This echoes broader patterns seen in ETH stalls below $2,300 as bearish pressure holds at key resistance, where repeated failures reinforce this zone as a ceiling.

The Zone That Keeps Rejecting ETH Price
This resistance band between $2,250 and $2,400 has acted as a ceiling across every rally attempt in recent months. Current price action mirrors previous tests — a push into resistance rather than a confirmed breakout. Each attempt so far has failed to establish any real acceptance above this level.
Short-term behavior continues to revolve around this cluster, much like the pattern described in Ethereum targets $2,300 inside ascending channel, where the same zone acts as a decision point between continuation and rejection.
Each rally attempt has failed to establish acceptance above this zone — current price action mirrors those previous tests exactly
ETH Structure Trapped Between $1,800 Support and 200-Day MA
ETH remains positioned between two major reference points. Below, macro trendline support sits around $1,800, marking the lower boundary of the broader structure. Above, the 200-day moving average near $2,690 continues to act as dynamic resistance.
This creates a wide compression zone where price is neither trending strongly upward nor breaking down further. A similar structure was highlighted in Ethereum holds $2,300 support below EMA 200 at $2,829, where price struggles to reclaim bullish momentum while pinned below the moving average.
Supply in this zone is weakening — a successful close above $2,300 would signal something that hasn't been observed in prior tests
$2,300 Is the Level That Flips the Ethereum Narrative
The most important threshold in the current setup is $2,300. Previous attempts have been rejected before price could establish any meaningful acceptance above this level. A confirmed close above it would push ETH deeper into the resistance zone rather than leaving it capped below — signaling that supply is beginning to thin out.
The current setup comes down to how price behaves inside this resistance cluster:
- ETH is testing the $2,250–$2,400 zone again
- The 200-day moving average remains overhead near $2,690
- Macro support sits significantly lower around $1,800
- A confirmed close above $2,300 would mark a structural shift
Until a breakout occurs, the market remains in a familiar pattern — repeated tests into resistance without confirmation. Traders are watching this zone closely for the first real sign of change.
