Can Ethereum break the $2.8K barrier? Market indicators say yes!
- Ethereum fear and greed index is transitioning gradually.
- ETH token summary, on-chain signals and false break-out suggest price set to surge.
The Ethereum [ETH] Fear and Greed Index logged 38 at press time, reflecting neutral sentiment in the market from the extreme fear sentiment a week ago.
With Ethereum’s price at $2705 at the time of writing this article, this balance between fear and greed suggests growing investor confidence.
This sentiment indicates that Ethereum might soon test and possibly break the $2.8K resistance level, highlighting positive momentum for Ethereum and the broader cryptocurrency market.
ETH/USD approaching resistance
Ethereum recently broke through the $2.8K support level, which has now become a critical support point as the market recovers from this week’s crash.
The key question is whether the current price action will break this resistance but Ethereum’s confidence has gradually increased, recovering from a weekly low and closing strongly bullish. This rally suggests a potential breakout above support is imminent.
The brief dip below $2.8K could be seen as a false breakout, indicating a possible reversal as the price quickly moved back above this level.
