Ethereum (ETH) Market Update – May 22, 2025

Summary

  • Current price: ~$2,679
  • 24-Hour Change: +5.9%
  • Trend: Bullish
  • Momentum Indicators:
    • Trading above 50-day moving average
    • RSI in bullish territory, supporting continued upside
  • Key Resistance Levels:
    • $2,950: Immediate hurdle; a breakout here may trigger accelerated buying
    • $3,000: Psychological resistance and likely institutional target
    • $4,800: Previous all-time high and long-term bullish objective
  • Key Support Levels:
    • $2,250: Strong technical base; a breakdown could signal short-term weakness
    • $2,000: Psychological support and long-term trendline area

The bullish structure remains intact unless price breaks below $2,250. A sustained move above $2,950 could open the path to $3,000+.

Fundamental Factors Affecting Ethereum

  • Pectra Upgrade:
  • Ethereum's successful Pectra upgrade improved scalability and reduced gas costs, bolstering investor confidence and reinforcing Ethereum's dominance in smart contract infrastructure.
  • Whale Accumulation:
  • Large holders have accumulated 670,000 ETH in the last 9 days, suggesting institutional positioning ahead of a potential breakout.
  • Broader Crypto Sentiment:
  • A rebound in overall market risk appetite, improving macro sentiment, and optimism about decentralized finance (DeFi) recovery continue to support ETH's upward momentum.

Key Takeaway for Traders

Ethereum is riding a wave of technical and fundamental strength, with whale accumulation and infrastructure upgrades adding to bullish sentiment. A breakout above $2,950 could lead to rapid gains toward $3,200–$3,500, with a longer-term view targeting $4,800. On the downside, a drop below $2,250 would weaken the outlook and shift attention to $2,000.

Watch for:

  • Price action near $2,950
  • On-chain activity and gas fees post-Pectra
  • Institutional buying signals and ETF news

ETHUSD – H4 Timeframe

ETHUSD's price action broke above the previous high of the internal structure right after a rejection from the demand zone and the trendline support. The current momentum has also broken through a resistance trendline, creating a new demand zone – a rejection from the new area of demand is the required trigger to confirm the bullish sentiment.

Analyst's Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target- 2721.62
