Ethereum Faces the 'Symplegades'– Will Pectra Propel It Through?Ethereum Faces the 'Symplegades' – Will Pectra Propel It Through?
⚔️🪨 Ethereum Faces the 'Symplegades' – Will Pectra Propel It Through? 🪨⚔️
In ancient Greek myth, the Symplegades — Clashing Rocks — tested Jason and the Argonauts with a narrow, deadly passage. Today, Ethereum faces its own mythic trial as price action presses into a critical zone.
📍 The $2,805–$2,848 resistance zone is acting like the Clashing Rocks — volatile, dangerous, and decisive. Beneath it, support rests near $2,616 and $2,565 . A breakout from this trap can open the way to $3,200+ , but rejection may mean another violent plunge. ⚠️
🔧 Enter: PECTRA – Ethereum’s Game-Changing Upgrade
Ethereum’s most ambitious upgrade since The Merge is nearly here. PECTRA isn’t just a backend update — it redefines how the network feels and functions:
🧠 Smarter Wallets
– Batch transactions
– Skip approval popups
– Pay gas in any token
⚡ Frictionless UX
– Fewer clicks
– No more endless “approve + confirm” loops
📉 Cheaper Transactions
– More blobs = better L2 scaling
– Lower fees, even during congestion
🌱 Staking Overhaul
– Validator cap raised to 2048 ETH
– Smart contract withdrawals
– Faster deposit recognition
🔓 Unlocking $490B in trapped value
– Assets become more accessible and usable
“The Merge changed how Ethereum works.
Pectra changes how it feels. ” – @ethereum
⛵ Will ETH Break Through the Clashing Rocks?
This is not just another consolidation box.
It’s a moment of mythic symmetry — where price action, fundamentals, and network transformation converge.
Sail through the Symplegades... or get crushed between them?
Stay sharp. Watch the breakout. The next move will be defining.
One Love,

ETHBTC Opportunity Buy: Major 2025 AltcoinSeason & Bull MarketThis is the big one and the good one. ETHBTC was bearish since December 2021 but this cycle finally came to an end in April this year. After the initial bullish breakout and higher low we can clearly see some bullish action developing; three consecutive weeks green. The bullish bias is now confirmed. It is still early.
We are looking at 200% potential. The "back to baseline" target. This is a price range where ETHBTC traded sideways as part of a distribution phase for more than two years. This is a must-to-be-tested resistance zone and thus opens up a sure 200% profits potential for this newly developing bullish wave.
Ethereum's ETFs are coming, Bitcoin already has its ETFs. This can mean Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin, and many altcoins, in so many ways. This also opens up the potential for a new all-time high on this pair.
The same sequence of 'low-higher low' happened in the last bull market. ETHBTC hit bottom in September 2019 then produced a higher low and this signaled the start of a major, long-term 447% rise. The conditions are similar now but the rise will be faster.
We have two main targets for the all-time high in late 2025 or early 2026.
1) 0.13207. With 442% profits potential from current price.
2) 0.20278. With 733% profits potential.
The entire bullish cycle for this pair can unravel within 4-6 months. If it becomes extended, it can last one year or longer. Both scenarios are possible.
It is 100% certain that ETHBTC will go on a major bullish cycle together with the rest of the altcoins market. Bitcoin will also grow.
Thanks a lot for your continued support.
If you are bullish on Crypto, comment below.
Namaste.

ETH/USDT 1W Chart📊 Trend structure (Price Action)
Downtrend (historical):
A series of Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL) — a classic downtrend.
Confirmed by the orange downtrend line.
A change in structure — a possible beginning of an uptrend:
A Higher Low (HL) has recently been formed after a Lower Low (LL).
Suggests a possible end to the downtrend and an attempt to break out upwards.
Currently:
The price is testing the upper downtrend line.
A breakout above the orange line may confirm a trend change.
🟢 Key Resistance Levels (Green Lines):
Level Meaning
3.058 USDT Potential target after a breakout from consolidation
2.767 USDT Nearest strong resistance - currently being tested
3.427 USDT Deep resistance level from the previous high (HH)
🔴 Key Support Levels (Red Lines):
Level Meaning
2.234 USDT Nearest support - previous breakout
1.883 USDT Early 2023 support
1.507 USDT Local bottom
1.204 USDT Historical support - LL extreme
📉 Stochastic RSI (Momentum Indicator):
Currently in the overbought zone.
This may suggest a short-term correction before an actual breakout.
However, in a strong uptrend, the indicator may "hang out" in the overbought zone for a long time.
📈 Potential scenario:
If the breakout above 2.767 and the orange trendline holds:
A possible move to 3.058 USDT as the first target.
Extended target: 3.427 USDT (HH).
If the breakout fails:
Correction to 2.234 USDT or lower.
There is a risk of returning to a downtrend.
✅ Bullish signals:
Higher Low (HL) formation after Lower Low (LL).
Testing the upper downtrend line with an attempt to breakout.
Volume is increasing (based on candles).
⚠️ Bearish threats:
Stochastic RSI in the overbought zone.
Breakout not confirmed by 100% (needs a weekly closing candle above 2.767).
Resistance at 3,058 could halt the move.
📌 Conclusion:
Ethereum (ETH) could be on the cusp of a new uptrend, but a breakout above 2,767 USDT is needed for confirmation. If it does, a move to 3,058 and then 3,427 is possible. However, the current overbought level on the Stochastic RSI could signal a short-term correction before the trend gains strength.
ETH | Price PredictionI believe that COINBASE:ETHUSD is the most important ecosystem for crypto and am bullish on it. The price of many great assets is absolutely dependent on ETH, because those assets have ETH as the key liquidity. I love assets from the ecosystem: OKX:MORPHOUSDT , BINANCE:WLDUSDT , BINANCE:OPUSDT , BINANCE:ARBUSDT , BINANCE:LDOUSDT , $BINANCE:STRKUSDT.
Those levels are from my platform. I believe that up to "Bullish" is really easy to hit this "cycle".
ETH Long Swing Setup – Sideways Hold with Dip-Buy OpportunityETH continues to hold above the key $2,300 support, showing resilience and consolidating within range. We’re watching for one more dip into the $2,300–$2,375 zone to trigger a long entry, with momentum building for a potential breakout.
📌 Trade Setup:
• Entry Zone: $2,300 – $2,375
• Take Profit Targets:
o 🥇 $2,900 – $3,000
o 🥈 $3,300 – $3,400
o 🥉 $4,000 – $4,200
• Stop Loss: Daily close below $2,000
ETH to 3KETH is looking set to challenge the 3k level.
You can see by the small breakout and old resistance acting as new support levels at fig 1 that ETH is building towards a leg up.
Look for ETH to move higher with a small breakout (fig 2), retest (fig 3) before moving higher towards the 3K range.
Ethereum Faces Key Resistance: Potential Pullback AheadHello Guys!
What I see:
Head and Shoulders Pattern:
Left Shoulder: Formed
Head: Peak, followed by a drop.
Right Shoulder: Formed.
The neckline break around $2,450 initiated a downside move, confirming the bearish setup.
Current Price Action:
ETH is currently trading near $2,519, attempting to reclaim the broken neckline zone, which now acts as resistance.
The price action is showing lower highs, hinting at weakening bullish momentum.
Bearish Retest in Progress:
The chart shows an anticipated bearish retest of the support-resistance flip zone ($2,530–$2,550), with a probable rejection leading ETH back down toward the $2,440–$2,450 support zone.
Demand Zone:
A strong demand area is visible between $2,420–$2,450. Price may revisit this zone before making the next major move.
Trend Channel:
ETH is moving within an ascending channel, and the lower bound coincides with the highlighted demand zone.

Let's check this deja vu:
You can see that previously the price formed an H&S and after that did a hunting of the head! And after that price experienced a drop there! Same scenario here!

$ETH Breakout this week?CRYPTOCAP:ETH local chart looks ready
I think were looking at a decent ETH breakout this week to the next resistance High Volume Node at $3600 minimum target.
👉 BTC is consolidating under all time high resistance after multiple tests which is usual a sign of bullish continuation. Usualy giving alts room to room.
👉 Ethereum is above the daily 200EMA, daily pivot and also consolidating under resistance once more after testing the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement and S1 daily pivot adding confluence to that being the local bottom. This appears to be Elliot wave 2, a shallow wave 2 retracement (less than 0.5) is a show of strength and investor impatience.
Analysis invalidated below the daily pivot and daily 200EMA as this will lock in 3 waves up and look corrective.
Safe trading
#ETH Update #1 – July 7, 2025🟢 #ETH Update #1 – July 7, 2025
Ethereum is currently testing a resistance level that dates back about 30 days . I’m seeing long upper wicks forming here, suggesting a potential rejection from this zone. Price still hasn’t cleared its previous impulsive high, and this resistance could push ETH back toward the $2,480 level.
As long as ETH holds above $2,480, I don’t see any major concern. But if it loses that support, I’ll be watching the $2,375 level next. Below that, there's a visible imbalance around $2,320, which could act as a magnet for price.
For me, a long position becomes valid above $2,635 with momentum and confirmation. On the flip side, if ETH breaks $2,480 to the downside with strength, I may consider a short setup toward $2,327 .
But for now, I’m staying out. No position until the chart speaks more clearly.
ETH – Next Stop 3D 200MA?ETH on the 4H closed the week strong after holding support at the 0.5 Fib and 200-day MA.
If price holds here, it could attempt another push toward the 3D 200MA.
Let’s see how the week unfolds on the macro and political fronts.

Banana zone starts when PMI is above 53.Check your charts to verify this fact.
Total 2 with the US Purchasing Managers Index overlain.
The PMI is one of the most reliable leading indicators for assessing the state of the U.S. economy.
Previous Banana zones have coincided with the PMI above 53.
so not just when the economy is growing, but when the economy has entered humming along approaching full acceleration.
This is when most people will feel confidence and WANT to take on more risk as they are most optimistic about the future when the economy is in this state of being.
Ethereum $5,791 followed by $8,500 Late 2025Ethereum is due a major, major bullish wave. No new highs since March 2024. Double-top December 2024.
The bear market ended June 2022. April 2025 marks a long-term higher low.
So the peak remains flat, March 2024 vs December 2024. While the bottom is rising, June 2022 vs April 2025.
You could say the top is a lower high of course, November 2021 vs 2024. This is also valid. Even with a lower high top a bullish wave is due leading to a minimum of around $3,800 or $4,000; back to baseline.
Now, if we really want to talk about minimum because we really don't care about worst case scenario, the fundamentals are improving and everything is getting better, consider $5,791. This would be the minimum. With the Ethereum ETFs and the 2025 bull market, we then open up $8,500 and so on. Growth potential is unlimited and we will have to use our imagination. These numbers are good though and definitely a strong level where action will happen. You will see some resistance, some something going on when Ethereum reaches these numbers.
Ethereum is due a major, major bullish wave. It is not a question of "if," it is a question of "when." When will it happen? "If it happens?" No! When, will it happen?
It will happen in 2025. You can be certain about it... Just watch!
....
Ethereum (ETHUSDT) has been consolidating two months above support. Support being $2,425. One week it broke below this level just to recover the next week. More than 8 weeks sideways wicking lower and higher.
The 7-April low, candle and rounded bottom, as well as long-term higher low makes this date a clear bottom. From the bottom we grow. Once the bottom is hit, the trend changes. The trend has been bearish since March 2024. A long time in Crypto term. We are in the bull market year, 2025. What is not happening now, is what will happen next.
The market was bearish for a long time and that's ok. The good news are the waves within cycles... We just came out of a strong correction; we have a small recovery and consolidation. The initial breakout is being consolidated before additional growth.
Lots of thinking, lots of reasoning, lots of studying... Everything you need to know is already present on the chart. Ethereum will grow. Mark by words. It is already happening.
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.
ETH/USDT 1D🔍 ETH/USDT - technical analysis (1D interval):
📉 Price: 2478 USDT (-4.36%)
🔧 Resistance:
• SMA 200 (green): ~ 2589
• Resistance zone: ~ 2715 → 2880 USDT
• SMA 100 (blue): ~ 2500 (just rejected)
🔧 Support:
• SMA 50 (red): ~ 2434 - currently tested
• Strong support: 2373, 2314, 2223 USDT
📊 indicators:
• MacD: freshly intersected, but the momentum is weakening
• RSI: ~ 45 - neutral/weak, under 50 (no bull strength)
• Trend: Still in the downward channel (yellow trend lines)
⸻
⚠️ Conclusions:
• Price rejected from 2500 (SMA 100) and flies down.
• If 2434 falls, a further discount is possible to 2373–2314.
• Lack of bulls with key resistance - the inheritance scenario dominates.
• Watch behavior at 2434 - this is now a key level.
ETH vs 200MA: Another TestETH on the daily has been pushed back so many times by the 200MA. Will price conquer it this time? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Today is Friday, July 4th, so probably a long weekend for most traders. Somehow, price got pushed back again. Just a hunch, but I believe long traders are touching grass this weekend while sellers are grinding.
Anyway, we now have a support zone under price, made up of the 200MA and the 0.5 Fib — which, in theory, should hold against any attempts to push the price lower this weekend.
Always take profits and manage risk.
Interaction is welcome.
ETH could be about to rip into a short-term rallyWhile the stock market has seen surprising upside in the past weeks (presumably due to pricing in rate cuts / a more positive liquidity picture / high expectations for Q2), crypto has lagged behind. I don't believe anything significantly above current prices - no matter in which market - is sustainable for now, but we can certainly milk it for whatever it's worth.
Notably, BTC has shown way more resilience and dominance in the current cycle so far. This makes sense in a high interest environment. However, within the bias of the markets pricing in expectations for rate cuts and as such more liquidity, we could also assume that demand for assets other than "safe havens" would now increase as well, leading us to the biased conclusion that we could see altcoins wildly outperforming BTC over the next weeks.
Indeed, if we look at the BTC chart, technicals such as VWAP stddevs show significantly less potential for upside if compared to ETH in the current moment in time. We therefore would focus on ETH at this point (as money flow seems to cycle BTC->ETH->Others).
PLEASE NOTE: SL and TP are not accurate. This is not a precise trading idea. Please use your own judgement in accordance with your trading style.
Bearish reversal off major resistance?The Ethereum (ETH/USD) is rising towards the pivot which acts as a pullback resistance and could reverse to the 1st support which is a pullback support.
Pivot: 2,655.32
1st Support: 2,506.53
1st Resistance: 2,820.60
