Ethereum is tightening into a critical zone near the $2,000 level as price action continues to compress without clear direction. With volatility steadily declining and pressure building on both sides, the current structure suggests that a decisive move, either a breakout or breakdown, could be just around the corner. Momentum Fails To Build On Ethereum Ethereum is currently in a very different position compared to the broader market, as it has never experienced a strong, sustained rally. CyrilXBT noted that ETH briefly spiked to $2,400 in mid-March but has been trending downward ever since. The move failed to establish continuation, and the price has gradually weakened. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Drops to $2,100, Shaking Confidence Amid Volatility Currently, Ethereum is hovering around the 200 EMA, near $2,104, which provides a slightly constructive signal. Rather than breaking down aggressively, the price is compressing, suggesting that the market is building energy for a potential move. $1,800 remains the key level to watch, acting as critical macro support that has yet to be tested. The $2,300–$2,500 region continues to act as a major resistance zone, and any upside move lacking strong volume is likely to be dismissed as noise. A decisive daily close above $2,200 would be the first meaningful sign of strength. Until then, the outlook remains neutral, with close attention on the $2,000 level as the next important test if buyers lose control. Ethereum Trades Within High-Timeframe Range Boundaries According to Minga’s latest update, Ethereum is currently trading within a high-timeframe range, with the upper boundary defined by the 2021 all-time high and the lower boundary anchored at the 2022 bear market low. Thus, Minga suggests that the most effective approach is to trade level to level, respecting key zones rather than anticipating extended trends. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Recovery Picks Up, Is a Breakout Now Brewing? A closer look at the chart shows that ETH swept the 2021 ATH, faced rejection, and has been trending downward since. Along the way, ETH took out an untapped monthly low around $1,750, triggering a push back toward the $2,300 region, but momentum faded as price slipped back below $2,151. Currently, Ethereum is near the midpoint of this broader range, rejecting a significant historical level. The $2,151 zone stands out as a key bullish/bearish continuation level, having acted as both support and resistance in the past. Rejection from this area keeps downside pressure intact. However, a successful reclaim could open the path toward $2,395, where an untapped fair value gap remains. On the downside, the next major level to watch lies around $1,537, where weekly equal lows are positioned. While ETH may hit the level, it is not expected to mark the ultimate bottom. For a broader macro reversal, a sweep of the $1,384 low is anticipated, with a potential extension into the $1,190–$1,148 region, which stands as the primary target for a cycle bottom.

Bitcoin is tightening between two major liquidity pools, with both bulls and bears sitting on borrowed time. As pressure builds and liquidity stacks on both sides, the next move looks less about direction and more about which side gets wiped out first. HTF Liquidity At $65,300 Remains The Primary Target Lennaert Snyder’s latest Bitcoin analysis remains focused on a significant High-Timeframe (HTF) liquidity pool located around the $65,300 zone. This area is designated as a major box of interest for hunting long positions. Rather than setting a blind entry, the strategy involves waiting for the price to penetrate this zone and then monitoring for high-probability reversal patterns to confirm a bottom. Related Reading: Bernstein Calls Bitcoin Crash A ‘Crisis Of Confidence,’ Maintains $150,000 Target Before reaching the lower HTF liquidity, there are potential local short-selling opportunities to trade the downward move. The first point of interest is the M15 liquidity sweep around $69,900. If the price reaches this level and captures the liquidity, the plan is to initiate a short position only after a confirmed bearish market structure break. A similar short-selling logic applies to the liquidity resting above the $71,450 level. Should Bitcoin push higher and sweep this liquidity, the expert is positioned for a subsequent bearish market structure shift, which signals a move back toward the primary $65,300 target. The analysis emphasizes patience and trigger-based entries over predictive guessing because the exact depth of the test into the $65,300 box is unpredictable. Liquidity Magnets Light Up On Bitcoin 24-Hour Heatmap Coin Adam pointed out that Bitcoin’s 24-hour heat map clearly highlights where liquidity is clustered, raising the key question of which side market makers may target next. According to Adam, current conditions suggest the market is being pulled between two powerful liquidity magnets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Hovers Around $70K As Volatility Goes Quiet On the downside, the $67,800–$68,200 zone stands out as a bright liquidity pool. This area is packed with long positions, making it an attractive target for a downside sweep. Coin Adam noted that a sharp wick into this range to grab liquidity and rebuild momentum remains a very realistic scenario. On the upside, there is also notable short squeeze potential between $71,500 and $72,500, where a heavy concentration of short positions sits. If Bitcoin can hold convincingly above the $70,000 level, a strong bullish candle could push the price above to fill the gap. Overall, Adam explained that price is currently compressed between two major liquidity blocks, a setup that often resolves with a move toward the most prominent target. While both sides remain vulnerable, Coin Adam believes a sweep below $68,000 appears more likely in the near term, before any larger move toward the $72,000–$76,000 region unfolds.

SUI is starting to show signs of renewed strength after reclaiming a critical high-timeframe support zone. Following a sharp selloff, the price has stabilized above this level, suggesting the downside deviation may be complete. As long as this base continues to hold, momentum could gradually build, putting the $2.35 zone firmly in focus as the next upside test. SUI Reclaims Critical HTF Support After Sharp Selloff Crypto analyst Scient, in a post on X, revealed that SUI’s recent price action is unfolding exactly where it should after the sharp selloff. The market has pushed back above a key high-timeframe (HTF) support zone that previously acted as an important pivot area. This reclaim suggests the brief move below support was a deviation rather than a structural breakdown, with price now beginning to stabilize and form a base. Related Reading: SUI Isn’t Done Yet: Weekly Accumulation Holds As Buyers Reload Below From a structural perspective, the grey box highlighted on the chart represents a crucial demand and decision zone. Holding above this area keeps the bullish reclaim intact and signals that buyers remain in control at higher timeframes. However, a move back below this zone would invalidate the setup and shift focus back toward downside risk, making this area pivotal for the next move. As long as SUI continues to hold and build acceptance above this base, Scient expects a steady grind higher toward the next resistance area around $2.35. A clean push into that zone could open the door for further expansion if momentum improves. Currently, this structure is appearing across multiple assets, with many charts printing similar high-timeframe PO3 accumulation patterns. Within that broader context, SUI stands out for reclaiming key support decisively, positioning it as one of the more constructive setups in the market. SUI Leads With Early 4H Trend Break According to an update by Daan Crypto Trades, SUI was one of the first major assets to break above its 4-hour downtrend and push decisively out of the prevailing range, signaling clear relative strength. This early breakout placed SUI ahead of many peers and put it on watch as a potential leader if broader conditions improve. Related Reading: SUI Climbs Into High-Risk Territory As Wave 4 Nears Its Exhaustion Point Currently, the price is consolidating directly on top of the former resistance area, a zone that now serves as key support. Holding this level would suggest a reclaim of the range and increase the likelihood of upward continuation. At the same time, a loss of this area would risk a return to consolidation and weaken the bullish structure. Overall, SUI continues to stand out as one of the stronger-looking majors, but the next leg higher still needs confirmation through renewed momentum. Although SUI’s progress remains closely linked to Bitcoin and Ethereum, both of which are still lacking a clear direction. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
Renowned Bitcoin advocate and El Salvador presidential advisor Max Keiser has once again reiterated his ultra-bullish outlook for BTC in 2025, doubling down on predictions that highlight the cryptocurrency’s role as a hedge against inflation and macroeconomic instability. As the traditional financial systems face increasing pressure, Keiser maintains that BTC’s fixed supply and expanding market infrastructure position it for significant upside in the year ahead. How Macro Debt And Inflation Risks Strengthen Bitcoin’s Case According to a recent post from Crypto Miners on X, Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser has once again reiterated his long-standing BTC thesis from 2025. Keiser points to total US debt surpassing $36 trillion and annual interest expenses approaching $1 trillion, claiming that this environment could push BTC beyond $2 million as capital seeks protection from fiat debasement. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bottom Forecast: Top Expert Predicts $40,000 Target Next Year, Here’s The Analysis The argument remains consistent with Keiser’s long-standing BTC maximalist stance, which links rising sovereign US debt expansion and currency dilution to upward pressure on a fixed supply asset. Replies are split, and supporters point to a 21 million supply against the unlimited debt. Thus, critics remain unconvinced, noting that BTC continues to trade below the $100,000 level despite similar high-conviction predictions made throughout 2025. Market commentator The Penguin updated that Bitcoin’s lower timeframe (LTF) structure is still looking a bit less impulsive, but nothing meaningful has changed in the count. Instead, BTC remains comfortable treating the current formation as a leading diagonal for wave 1, with recent LTF fluctuations resembling short-term noise rather than a decisive shift in trend. The Penguin pointed out that by setting Elliott Wave analysis aside and focusing on standard technical analysis, BTC continues to respect a well-defined range. This behavior is seen as consistent with the fact that Sunday trading and volume are light. From a trading perspective, the analyst’s focus is on longs and monitoring a possible shallow deviation toward the 0.886 retracement level marked on the chart. On the bullish side, the confirmation would be acceptance back above the $90,500 level, which would invalidate the bearish idea. Overall, the directional bias remains the same as the low-vol LTF chop is ahead of the yearly open. The Penguin added that the broader structure still looks solid and should hold up, while also noting signs of relative strength in assets such as XPL. Why Momentum Will Decide The Next Major Move Bitcoin high-timeframe (HTF) price action and momentum are currently navigating a structural pattern that mirrors a historical turning point. Crypto investor and trader known as Titan of Crypto has highlighted that BTC is showing a sequence similar to Q2 2021 and Q1 2025.
