Ethereum trades at $2,156.80, gaining 3.14% or $65.73 in the current session, showing some recovery from recent weakness. However, the second-largest cryptocurrency faces headwinds with analysts noting consolidation patterns. Market participants are watching key support and resistance levels as ETH attempts to regain momentum. The recent price action reflects broader market uncertainty, with some analysts predicting potential moves toward $5,500 by year-end if regulatory clarity improves and DeFi adoption accelerates.
