Ethereum is under pressure after failing to break above the $1,874 high set on May 1st, a level that now acts as stiff resistance. As the broader crypto market begins to heat up, Ethereum remains stuck in a tight range, lacking the momentum to confirm a breakout. Currently trading just above $1,800, ETH sits at a critical level where bulls must step in to defend the structure and push the price higher.

Despite several attempts, Ethereum has been unable to establish a clear direction, and market participants are growing cautious. The asset is still down over 55% from its December highs, reflecting a prolonged period of weakness relative to other major cryptocurrencies. Without a strong push through resistance, Ethereum risks falling further behind.


Top crypto investor Michael Van de Poppe recently shared a technical analysis suggesting that Ethereum is still in an accumulation phase. According to Van de Poppe, ETH shows signs of strength and accumulation against BTC in the background, but needs confirmation through a decisive breakout above current levels. Until then, Ethereum remains range-bound and vulnerable to volatility. With market sentiment shifting and major moves looming, the coming days will be crucial for ETH’s short-term outlook.

Ethereum continues to struggle below the $2,000 mark, failing to reclaim key resistance levels despite broader market activity heating up. While ETH/USD remains directionless and still trades over 55% below its December highs, a closer look at the ETH/BTC chart reveals something more constructive brewing beneath the surface.


Van de Poppe recently shared an analysis highlighting a clear accumulation structure forming in the ETH/BTC pair. After months of consistent downside, the chart shows Ethereum breaking out of a falling wedge and consolidating in a tight range just below critical resistance at 0.0195 BTC. According to Van de Poppe, this is a classic accumulation pattern, signaling that Ethereum may be preparing for a significant breakout relative to Bitcoin.

The chart also highlights a key demand zone around 0.0184 BTC—an area ETH has repeatedly held. As long as this level holds, Van de Poppe believes Ethereum could continue to grind higher and eventually take out liquidity above resistance. A successful breakout could mark the start of Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin, a trend often seen during the altcoin expansion phase of a bull market.


However, risks remain. The broader market is still heavily influenced by macroeconomic uncertainty, particularly surrounding U.S.-China tensions. For now, Ethereum’s upside case depends on holding current support and clearing the 0.0195 BTC resistance. If successful, this accumulation may become the base for a strong rally.

Ethereum is currently trading at $1,795.79 after a slight rejection from the $1,874 local high reached on May 1st. The daily chart shows ETH consolidating in a tight range following its rebound from April’s lows near $1,500. However, despite this stabilization, ETH remains well below both the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $2,709.54 and the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $2,437.55—indicating that the broader trend is still bearish.

While bulls have managed to prevent further downside, Ethereum has yet to break out of its long-term downtrend. The failure to reclaim $2,000 as support continues to cap bullish momentum, and volume has remained modest during recent price action, showing a lack of conviction from both buyers and sellers.


The structure currently favors accumulation, but ETH must decisively clear the $1,875–$2,000 resistance area to shift sentiment and validate a trend reversal. If it fails to do so, the risk of a renewed pullback toward the $1,650–$1,700 support zone increases.

Overall, Ethereum is at a pivotal stage. The longer it consolidates below major moving averages, the more likely the market remains cautious. A breakout above $2,000 could trigger renewed upside and signal broader market strength.
