Ethereum Price Stalls Near Resistance Amid Growing Divergence
The Ethereum price remains above $2,670 as it approaches resistance, but momentum is starting to stall. As of September 21, 2026, $ETH trades at $2,670.84, with all major EMAs stacked bullishly beneath it on the daily chart. However, the 15-minute chart shows hesitation, with a negative MACD histogram and tight Bollinger Bands.
The daily chart confirms a sustained uptrend, with $ETH trading above EMA20, EMA50, and EMA200 in a bullish stack. The RSI at 67.48 and expanding MACD histogram indicate bullish momentum without extreme overbought readings. However, the Bollinger Bands add a cautionary note, as price trades just above the upper band.
On-chain activity adds further texture to the market. Uniswap V4 fees jumped 64.62% over seven days, but fell 50.05% over 30 days. Fluid DEX fees spiked 193.68% weekly, but dropped 45.72% in the most recent 24 hours.
The Fear & Greed Index reads 70 (Greed), consistent with a risk-on market environment. Total crypto market capitalization stands at roughly $2.815 trillion, up a modest 0.15% over 24 hours, with Bitcoin dominance at 58.2%. The broader trend remains up, but the short-term direction is uncertain.
