Ethereum price holds above $2,500 as bulls defend key support amid downward pressure
Ethereum (ETH) hovered near $2,504 on Tuesday as the cryptocurrency attempted to stabilize following a failed push above its near-term descending resistance trendline. The asset remains locked within a narrowing wedge, caught between $2,570 on the upside and $2,485 on the downside, with volume drying up and momentum indicators showing early signs of fatigue.
Key highlights
- Ethereum trades around $2,504 with support at $2,485–$2,490 showing signs of firm defense
- Price continues to reject at $2,567–$2,570 trendline resistance, capping upward momentum
- Break above $2,570 could target $2,620–$2,635; breakdown risks fall toward $2,445
The recent rejection near the $2,567–$2,570 level, which coincides with the upper bound of the descending trendline, has capped any short-lived bullish attempts.

Despite buyers defending the $2,485–$2,490 zone effectively, a clean breakout above resistance with volume remains essential for any bullish continuation. Until then, Ethereum continues to show signs of neutral-to-bearish sentiment across intraday timeframes.
Tight wedge and neutral momentum shape near-term direction
The 4-hour structure reflects a coil pattern, with resistance between $2,620 and $2,630 forming the ceiling of a downward pitchfork. Support sits near $2,445, which aligns with previous accumulation zones. Meanwhile, the 30-minute chart shows ETH moving around its VWAP at $2,519, while Parabolic SAR and MACD have flipped bearish. The RSI is neutral, and DMI indicators point to an indecisive trend, with +DI and -DI nearly intersecting.
Additional momentum tools, including the Chande Momentum Oscillator (−8.60) and BBP histogram, confirm the weakening drive behind the recent upside attempts. Unless a breakout above $2,570 materializes, Ethereum is likely to remain range-bound with risk of breakdown growing.
Weekly chart retains structure despite shorter-term softness
Despite short-term fragility, the weekly chart offers a more constructive backdrop. ETH remains above its bull market support band, which spans $2,215–$2,405, and continues to hold higher-lows despite forming a lower-high under the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $2,742. The BBP reading at 396.70 on the weekly chart further confirms underlying bullish pressure, even as shorter-term momentum wanes.
In our earlier outlook, we highlighted the importance of the $2,485–$2,570 wedge. The current pattern continues to reflect that key equilibrium zone, with Ethereum’s trajectory hinging on a breakout or breakdown in the coming sessions.
