<h2 id="ethereum-clears-a-trendline-that-capped-every-rally-since-late-2025">Ethereum clears a trendline that capped every rally since late 2025</h2>
<p>Ethereum spent nearly twelve months locked beneath a downward trendline extending from its $4,950 peak. Every recovery attempt along the way stalled out at or below that falling ceiling.</p>

<p>This week’s <a href="https://coindoo.com/ethereum-skyrockets-bulls-do-next/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">surge from $1,900 to ~$2,500</a> pushed price decisively outside the pattern, also taking out the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement of the broader drop. It marks the first structural shift on the weekly chart in months.</p>
<p>However, intra-week spikes carry little weight without confirmation. A breakout requires acceptance, and buyers must hold these gains through the weekend to prevent a false breakout.</p>
<h2 id="why-2-300-is-the-immediate-line-in-the-sand">Why $2,300 is the immediate line in the sand</h2>
<p>The 0.236 Fibonacci retracement near $2,300 has flipped from overhead resistance into primary structural support.</p>
<p>Holding above $2,300 at the close confirms that the market is willing to absorb supply above the first major retracement level. A slip back below wouldn’t entirely destroy the multi-week rebound, but it would drop price back under the broken trendline and risk turning this push into another bull trap.</p>
<p>Intraday wicks can test deeper, but the closing print will determine whether $2,300 becomes a reliable floor.</p>
<h2 id="2-580-stands-between-eth-and-the-2-800-fib-target">$2,580 stands between ETH and the $2,800 Fib target</h2>
<p>Even with the trendline behind it, ETH faces stiff overhead resistance near $2,580, where the 50-week moving average currently rests. This indicator regularly acts as a trend pivot on higher timeframes.</p>
<p>If ETH clears the 50-week average, the next major objective sits at $2,800 the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement. This area aligns with significant structural consolidation from earlier in the cycle.</p>
<p>Until ETH secures $2,300 as support and breaks past $2,580, higher targets remain speculative.</p>

<h2 id="weekly-momentum-shifts-back-to-buyers">Weekly momentum shifts back to buyers</h2>
<p>Weekly RSI has climbed to roughly 60, recovering sharply from near-oversold conditions in June. Reclaiming the neutral 50 threshold indicates sustained buying pressure across larger timeframes rather than a simple low-volume bounce.</p>
<p>An <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RSI</a> reading near 60 leaves plenty of runway before reaching overbought territory (70+). Bearish momentum divergence isn’t a factor yet, giving bulls room to stretch this move higher if overhead levels break.</p>
<h2 id="the-invalidated-setup-what-breaks-the-bullish-thesis">The invalidated setup: What breaks the bullish thesis?</h2>
<p>Bulls don’t need to defend every intraday dip, but they must protect the key breakout zone. A weekly close back inside the old channel below $2,300 would invalidate the breakout and threaten a retracement toward the $2,000 demand block.</p>
<p>While the June low of $1,500 remains the ultimate macro floor, the immediate focus stays on $2,300. The chart has structurally improved, but building a multi-month reversal starts with holding newly won ground.</p>
