Ethereum Stuck in Narrow Range as Breakout Above $2,525 Looms

Ethereum's price has been stuck in a narrow range around $2,486 for weeks, struggling to break above the key resistance zone of $2,525, $2,535. Despite a 58% price gain since July, futures open interest growth lags, signaling cautious leveraged trading.

Spot Ethereum ETFs saw $24.3 million in net outflows, indicating reduced institutional buying. Analysts highlight $2,478, $2,485 as critical support and suggest a decisive breakout above $2,525 could push ETH toward $2,550, $2,600, with a potential rally to $3,000 if momentum sustains.

Key support levels to watch include $2,350, $2,360, which bulls must defend to avoid downside risk. If Ethereum's price drops below this range, it could lead to further losses.
