Over the past two months, Ethereum’s price has faced substantial headwinds, retracing approximately 67% from its all-time high of $4,878 reached four years ago. 

However, recent dataindicates a slight recovery, with ETH gaining 9% on a weekly basis and currently trading above the key psychological support level of $1,500.

Carl Moon, a cryptocurrency analyst, recently shared insightson social media platform X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that Ethereum is attempting to break out of a descending price channel. He noted, “If there’s enough volume, $ETH might reach $3,000 in the coming days.”

In Moon’s analysis, the $1,500 mark serves as a critical short-term resistance level, while the $1,600 barrier looms as the next significant obstacle that must be overcome for a sustained bullish trendto emerge.  ETH’s attempt to break out from the 1-day chart’s descending price channel.

This pattern could lead to a potential retest of the $1,500 support level in the near term.
