Ethereum Resists Retracement, Sustained Breakout Hinges on Confirmation

Ethereum has been attempting to break out of its consolidation phase and establish a new bullish leg. The cryptocurrency has held gains from its August breakout and has resisted meaningful retracements despite repeated testing of the $2.43K-$2.52K area.

This suggests that sellers have so far been unable to force price back toward lower support zones, but a recent CPI-driven fakeout highlights the need for confirmation before considering a sustained breakout.

The daily chart shows ETH holding strong near the upper end of its range, with the market avoiding significant retracements despite repeated testing of key levels. This resilience suggests that buyers remain in control, at least for now.
