Ethereum Price Hits Lower Bound, Sellers Gain Control as Market Cools Down

Ethereum's post-breakout consolidation is showing signs of weakening, with the price slipping below its recent range. The market's explosive rally from $1.85K to $1.92K has carried ETH directly into the major $2.44K-$2.51K resistance zone, but buyers have repeatedly failed to establish acceptance above this area.

The latest candles are showing a gradual shift in favor of sellers, with ETH falling below the lower boundary of the $2.44K-$2.51K resistance zone and trading near $2.37K. This follows several unsuccessful attempts to continue toward the $2.57K local high, suggesting that the initial bullish momentum has been exhausted for the time being.

The Fibonacci retracement levels provide a useful roadmap if the correction develops further. The 0.5 level sits around $2.21K, while the 0.618 retracement near $2.13K overlaps closely with the broader $2.07K-$2.16K support zone. This confluence makes the $2.07K-$2.21K region an important potential demand area during a deeper pullback.

A recovery back above the $2.44K-$2.51K resistance zone would reduce the immediate bearish pressure and put the $2.57K high back in focus, but the broader bullish structure would not necessarily be invalidated by such a correction.
