This price movement mirrors past rallies, particularly the 2021 breakout to $4,000. With momentum building and institutional interest rising, traders are watching closely for a potential continuation in Q3 2025.
Ethereum Holds Above Breakout Level as Volume and Momentum Increase
Ethereum is now trading at 3,038.29, up by 2.22% in the last 24 hours. Its market cap has increased by 2.64% to $366.76 billion as 24-hour trading volume rocketed by 108.88% to 32.2 billion. The price action is in the consolidation phase above $2,900, which is quite promising since the present price is above a major resistance level.
According to analysis prepared by Marcus Corvinus, Ethereum broke out of the $2,500–$2,800 range with strong momentum and is now retesting the breakout zone cleanly. He noted, “Same price structure we saw before it flew to $4K+ last time.” This setup reflects a familiar pattern in Ethereum’s historical market cycles.
