#ETHCrossed2500

Good question — the $2500 mark for Ethereum is indeed key and could either be the start for further growth or a "bull trap". Here’s how things stand from both sides:

Arguments for growth (bullish scenario):

1. Expectation of ETF approval — just like with Bitcoin, rumors or real steps towards creating an ETF for Ether could attract institutional money.

2. Increased activity in DeFi and L2 — the Ethereum platform remains the core of decentralized finance, and Layer 2 solutions (Arbitrum, Optimism, etc.) enhance network usage.

3. Improvement in fundamental indicators — EIP-1559 and the PoS system (staking) burn part of the fees, reducing the supply of ETH.

Arguments for a pullback (bearish scenario):

1. Strong resistance at $2500 — this level has already proven to be a difficult psychological barrier to overcome.

2. Volumes do not confirm growth — if the breakout was on weak volumes, it is more likely a false breakout.

3. Macroeconomic risks — potential issues with interest rates or regulatory background in the US could impact all crypto assets.
