The analyst said new leverage appears to be flowing mainly into long positions.<\/p>\n However, open interest has not returned to earlier highs. This suggests traders are building exposure carefully, rather than taking heavy risk.<\/p>\n According to crypto.news data, Ethereum traded at $2,256.40 at the time of reporting. The asset fell 2.84% in 24 hours and 3.72% over the past week.<\/p>\n Daan Crypto Trades said ETH has slowly moved<\/a> higher in recent weeks but is now meeting resistance near $2,400. He said a break above that area could open a move toward $2,600 to $2,700.<\/p>\n Daan also pointed to diagonal support below current prices. Bulls need to hold that level to maintain the recent short-term uptrend.<\/p>\n Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe said Ethereum\u2019s upward structure remains<\/a> intact after several failed resistance tests. He said a breakout is \u201ca matter of when\u201d in his view.<\/p>\n\n
