Ethereum Trapped in Narrow Trading Range as Buyers and Sellers Clash

Ethereum's price remains steady at around $2,486.72, trapped within a narrow trading range as buyers and sellers jockey for control.

According to Crypto Patel, a well-known market analyst, resistance levels cap gains at $2,520 to $2,530, while support near $2,360 to $2,370 continues to hold.

The current price action suggests that buyers are still holding the upper hand in the broader trend, with ETH sitting above both the 20-period EMA ($2,483.57) and the 50-period EMA ($2,467.76).

A breakout or breakdown from this range could have significant consequences for Ethereum's price direction.

The market's attention has also been on shifting institutional positioning, with Abraxas Capital purchasing 13,000 ETH while holding a substantial short position of 141,180 ETH.
