Ethereum’s recent surge past the $2,500 mark is sparking renewed excitement across the crypto space. (Insert chart image showing ETH breakout) After months of trading sideways under $2,000, this breakout is being seen by many as a signal of a potential bullish run. Supporters of this view highlight growing momentum around a potential spot Ethereum ETF, which could drive fresh institutional demand.

Skeptics warn that $2,500 is a historically significant resistance level, and the recent retreat to the $2,470–$2,480 range might suggest that the breakout lacks strength. Macro uncertainty and profit-taking could also fuel short-term corrections. In the near term, ETH may consolidate around current levels, with volatility expected as traders weigh macroeconomic cues and crypto-specific catalysts. If bulls can firmly establish support above $2,500, a rally toward $2,800 or higher could be in play. On the flip side, failure to hold gains may result in a pullback to the $2,300 zone.
