We'll use standard. We'll write: Ethereum broke out of a descending channel this week, reclaiming the $1.9K region and surging to the $2.5K area. The rally has since stalled, with ETH trading below $2.5K and consolidating in a tight range. The move marks a significant shift in momentum, but the pause has traders eyeing key support levels. The breakout came after ETH spent weeks grinding lower inside a descending channel. Once price reclaimed $1.9K, the move accelerated, pushing toward $2.5K. That's where the momentum ran out. ETH is now consolidating below $2.5K, holding a tight range. The question is whether this is a breather before another leg up, or the start of a deeper pullback. The $2.45K-$2.55K zone is a significant resistance area, with $2.5K acting as the key level. So far, sellers have defended it. The first major support sits around $2.1K. That level previously acted as resistance and was reclaimed during the rally. Below that, $1.9K is another important support, representing the initial breakout point. A break back below $1.9K would likely invalidate the breakout, but for now, the structure remains bullish. ETH is trading above both the 100-day moving average, which sits around $1.9K, and the 200-day moving average, around $2.05K. Both are sloping upward, a sign the longer-term trend has turned. Meanwhile, exchange reserves have declined from above 21M ETH in 2025 to approximately 14.9M ETH. That's a big drop, and it happened while price recovered from $1.5K to $2.4K. Fewer coins on exchanges typically means less selling pressure. The 4-hour RSI has pulled back from overbought territory and is hovering around 50. That's a neutral reading, indicating the market is taking a breather after the sharp move. It doesn't signal a reversal, but it does suggest the immediate upside momentum has faded. For now, the focus is on whether ETH can hold above $2.1K. A successful retest of that level would set up another attempt at $2.5K. A break below, and the $1.9K zone becomes the next test. Either way, the next few sessions should give a clearer picture.The breakout and the pullback
