Ethereum is holding firm above the $2,500 level after weeks of strong buying pressure and bullish momentum, despite having lost more than 60% of its value since December 2024. The asset’s resilience comes at a pivotal time: Bitcoin has officially broken its all-time high, triggering optimism that a new phase of the market cycle is beginning—one that could deliver explosive gains for altcoins.

For Ethereum to fulfill its usual leadership role in an altcoin rally, it must break above current resistance zones and confirm a recovery structure. As price action continues to develop, analysts are watching closely for signals that ETH is ready to outperform once again.


To illustrate just how deep the correction was, Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) shared a key metric: after Ethereum’s sharp sell-off that began in December, the share of addresses in profit plunged from over 90% to just 32% by April 2025. The rebound since then has been remarkable, but the road to a full recovery is still developing. If Ethereum can maintain support and reclaim higher levels, the stage may be set for a broader altseason that could reshape sentiment across the crypto market. Volatility Grows: Ethereum Eyes A Breakout


Ethereum bulls have regained control after a turbulent few months, forming a bullish price structure as the asset attempts to reclaim the $2,700 level. The surge began with a clean breakout above $2,200, and despite recent volatility, Ethereum is showing signs of strength. On Sunday, ETH spiked above $2,550 before retracing to $2,400 in a sharp pullback. Since then, price action has stabilized, and with Bitcoin pushing into new all-time highs, Ethereum appears poised to follow.


Analysts now expect a potential breakout if ETH can flip $2,700 into support. Momentum is building as selling pressure fades, and buyer confidence grows. Many view this as a key inflection point: if bulls sustain their push, Ethereum could reassert leadership in a market increasingly tilted toward altcoins.


Supporting this bullish outlook is fresh on-chain data from Sentora. Following a brutal drawdown that began in December 2024, the percentage of ETH addresses in profit collapsed from over 90% to just 32% by April 2025. Since then, the recovery has been dramatic—nearly 60% of addresses are now back in profit. According to Sentora, this level of volatility hasn’t been seen since the explosive 2017 bull cycle.

If Ethereum continues this trend and breaks out of its current range, it may not only confirm a strong recovery but also spark the next major leg of altseason. Related Reading Litecoin Eyes $117.50 As Price Rebounds From Key Support – Analyst 1 day ago ETH Tests Critical Resistance


Ethereum is now trading at a pivotal level, having surged to $2,687 with a 5.3% daily gain. The chart shows ETH challenging its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $2,702, a key technical barrier that has historically acted as resistance. After multiple failed attempts to break past this level in recent weeks, today’s bullish momentum puts ETH on the verge of a potential breakout.

The bullish structure is supported by strong upward volume, signaling renewed buyer interest. Notably, the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), currently at $2,444, has provided solid support throughout May, creating a base for this upward push. If Ethereum decisively closes above the $2,700 region, it could set the stage for a rally toward $3,000 and beyond, confirming a shift in trend after months of bearish pressure.

However, the price is still within a consolidation range, and bulls must hold above $2,600 to maintain this breakout potential. Failure to do so may result in a short-term retracement back to the $2,400–$2,450 demand zone.
