Market Insight
Ethereum at a Critical Juncture: Holding the 200-Week SMA, But Range-Bound
Ethereum (ETH) is currently showing a mix of structural strength and caution across timeframes:
Weekly Time Frame
Ethereum has successfully reclaimed its 200-week simple moving average (SMA), currently around $2,600. This is a historically significant technical level, often acting as a long-term support/resistance barrier. The breakout above this SMA suggests a potential shift toward a longer-term bullish structure. However, ETH is now consolidating just above this level, indicating a pause before a possible move higher or lower.
Daily Time Frame
ETH is in range-bound consolidation for over 25 days, supported by the rising 21-day EMA ($2,570) and capped by the 200-day SMA ($2,675). This tight compression between moving averages suggests a build-up before a major move. The 21EMA is trending up, showing short-term bullish momentum, but price is struggling to break through overhead resistance.

Upside Scenario
A decisive breakout above $2,675–$2,700, with strong volume, could send ETH toward the next resistance zone between $3,100 and $3,300 — a previous area of heavy seller interest.
Downside Risk
If Ethereum breaks down from the current range and loses the 200-week SMA ($2,450), the next key levels to keep an eye on are:
- $2,150–$2,200 zone: A key weekly demand zone that could offer a potential bounce if the correction deepens.
- $1,900–$2,000: A strong horizontal support and major psychological level — this area may act as a safety net during a broader market sell-off.
Upcoming Events to Watch

Inflation Data
The US PPI report (June 12) will provide critical inflation insights, with lower-than-expected figures potentially lifting crypto prices by boosting risk-on sentiment.
FOMC Meeting (June 17–18)
With a big chance of rates holding at 4.25%–4.5% on June 17–18, a dovish outcome could support crypto market stability, while hawkish signals may temper enthusiasm.
