With market structure compromised, reclaiming $2,600 is now critical for the bulls to stay in control.<\/p>\n<p>After establishing a local bottom at $2,111, Ethereum (ETH) staged a sharp rebound. However, this move appears to be more of a short squeeze than a genuine trend reversal. Price has now rallied into a key resistance zone at $2,600, an area packed with technical confluence and historical relevance. For ETH to regain upward momentum, it must close above this level with conviction.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key technical points<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>$2,600 Resistance Zone: <\/strong>A critical former support level now acting as resistance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confluence Cluster: <\/strong>Point of Control (POC), VWAP, and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement converge at $2,600.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Market Structure Break: <\/strong>Recent drop invalidated higher high\/higher low sequence on daily timeframe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14391766\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" ><\/source><\/p>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ETHUSDT (1D) Chart, Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s price is currently trading beneath one of its most important resistance zones in recent memory. The $2,600 level previously acted as strong support but has now flipped into resistance following the breakdown. <\/p>\n<p>The technical significance of this zone is further amplified by the confluence of several indicators\u2014the point of control, volume-weighted average price, and the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement from the previous swing high all cluster around $2,600. This makes it an area unlikely to be reclaimed without strong volume and bullish intent.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Further pressuring the bullish outlook is the break in market structure. The prior daily trend of higher highs and higher lows was clearly invalidated during the recent drop to $2,111. That means the burden of proof now lies with the bulls. A reclaim of $2,600 would be the first step toward re-establishing bullish momentum. Without it, this current rally is best interpreted as a bearish retest.<\/p>\n<p>If Ethereum fails to reclaim the $2,600 level, a pullback becomes highly probable. The next immediate support sits around $2,227, which may offer a temporary reaction. However, a breakdown below this zone could send price much lower toward $1,790, a critical demand zone and previous base of support. This level would likely serve as a make-or-break support for a broader correction.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect in the coming price action<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s price is at a major inflection point. A confirmed breakout above $2,600 could reignite bullish structure and open the door to higher levels like $2,800.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to break through, however, sets the stage for a rejection-driven pullback toward $2,227, with $1,790 on the table if that support fails. Until $2,600 is reclaimed, short-term trend bias remains tilted to the downside.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum\u2019s recent bounce off local lows has brought it back into a heavily contested resistance zone.
