Ethereum Traders Eye $2,550 Breakout as Fed Decision and Senate Vote Loom
Ethereum traders are fixated on clearing the stubborn resistance level at $2,550. A daily close above this threshold could transform weeks of sideways trading into a credible breakout, analysts argue.
The second-largest cryptocurrency by market value traded around $2,510 on Sep. 14, holding above major moving averages but struggling to summon buying pressure. Momentum indicators show weakness, with the 4-hour Average Directional Index falling to 18.84 and Chaikin Money Flow negative.
Two external catalysts, a Federal Reserve policy decision and a Senate vote on crypto market-structure legislation, are converging within days, adding to the stakes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that consumer prices rose 0.4% in August, strengthening expectations of another rate increase.
