Ethereum Price Breaks Above $2,550, Focus Shifts to $3,000

Ethereum's price broke above $2,550, marking a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency. The move shifted focus towards the $3,000 target, although analysts remain divided on follow-through.

The breakout followed several volatile sessions around $2,400 and $2,600, with traders previously focused on confirmation above former resistance rather than initial recovery alone.

Futures positioning and exchange-traded fund flows also showed substantial leverage and mixed institutional demand. Ethereum futures open interest remained near $34.3 billion, while ETF inflows returned after three consecutive outflow sessions.
