Ethereum holds a bullish structure above $2,300 as a wedge breakout, a Fibonacci bounce, and a flag setup point to further upside.
Open interest hits 7.1M ETH, showing rising futures confidence even as war tensions between Israel and Iran stir global market risks.
Ethereum's consolidation above $2,700 reflects strong demand accumulation, with $4,800–$6,500 targets having volume and chart pattern support.
Ethereum has broken out of a long-term Descending Broadening Wedge, triggering a large rally and resetting its technical outlook. With price consolidating near key resistance, rising open interest, and escalating Israel-Iran war tensions are shaping a high-stakes breakout setup.
Wedge Breakout Shifts Market Dynamics

As we can see from the post above, one bullish analyst has presented a detailed analysis based on a broadening wedge. Ethereum had consolidated within this Descending Broadening Wedge from early 2024 until April 2025. The breakout triggered a sharp rally, lifting ETH from below $1,600 to above $3,000.
The expert outlines that Ethereum faced a firm rejection between $3,600 and $3,700, which slowed bullish momentum. However, a Bullish Flag pattern now appears in the $2,700–$2,950 region, just above the wedge breakout. This continuation setup signals Ethereum might be preparing for a renewed push higher.
As quoted by the analyst, the $2,300 to $2,700 support zone, which earlier was a resistance zone, is now a firm base. Ethereum price retreated to the 0.618 Fibonacci point, respected it, and then rebounded, confirming bullish conviction. The next technical targets are $4,800, $5,600, and even $6,500, marked with Fibonacci extensions.
Also, as Ethereum stabilizes beyond key levels, this consolidation period strengthens its market behavior. Demand is accumulating below the surface, awaiting a breakout catalyst, according to volume indications. Thus, bullish vigor can continue as long as ETH stays over $2,300.
Rising Open Interest Suggests Derivatives Confidence
In the meantime, a specialist has also provided insights on Ethereum's derivatives market behavior, which gives a relative view. Ethereum open interest has increased to an all-time high of 7.1 million ETH. This increase reflects increased participation and confidence by futures traders.
The specialist notes that the growth has been steady since 2020, from 100K ETH to where it stands now. Even during sharp price pullbacks, open interest did not fail, indicating a long-term bullish trend. Ethereum price rallies in 2021 and 2024 echoed similar spikes in open interest.

This split, rising open interest, and narrowing spot price are usually indicative of leveraged institutional holdings. Ethereum's leadership of derivatives persists, complemented by its leadership in crypto market involvement.
The open interest behavior also mirrors past breakout setups. Historically, each rally has followed a visible increase in futures exposure, adding conviction to current sentiment. This adds weight to the ongoing bullish technical structure.
Outlook: Analysts Expect Breakout as Ethereum Builds Strength Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Experts believe that Ethereum's configuration remains bullish if it remains above the $2,300 support level. The marriage of chart formations like a bullish flag, the wedge breakout, and Fibonacci levels gives ETH room to reclaim the $2,950 level.
Nevertheless, during heightened war tensions between Israel and Iran, experts advise that geopolitical tensions might increase volatility, particularly around key breakout zones. Analysts advise that price oscillations will increase due to overlap patterns such as the neutral megaphone pattern. However, the underlying uptrend consists of higher highs and higher lows, confirming bullish direction. The existing Cup and Handle formation also supports predictions of a future breakout.
Market sentiment continues to be positive but cautiously so, and experts are all eyes on the resistance zone around $2,950. A breakdown above that price would push Ethereum in the direction of the $4,204 zone and higher. With rising open interest and favorable price action, Ethereum continues to top the momentum charts in crypto worldwide even amid escalating global instability.
