Ethereum has burst out of its cage, smashing through the $2,120 resistance level that has confined it for the past few weeks.

With open interest climbing and bullish momentum squarely in control, ETH looks poised to leave the crypto winter behind with gusto.

The technical picture is very attractive for a strong near-term upside, with $2,340 the next target in its sights.

While bitcoin has shown some signs of overheating, Ethereum’s more balanced mechanics mean ETH may be ready to outperform sharply.

TLDR

  • ETH decisively broke through major resistance at $2,120, opening the path to test $2,340 next.
  • The bullish momentum is solid and not yet overheated like BTC.
  • A retest of $2,100 region could offer healthy support and provide a buying opportunity.
  • A very positive technical setup indicates ETH is likely to strongly outperform in the near term.

Technical analysis

  • ETH has broken out of the $2,120 horizontal resistance with the upside target of $2,340. If $2,340 can be cleared, $2,640 will be the next target. We think this is very possible before year-end.
  • The prior resistance of $2,120 will need to become the new support if there is a retest lower.
  • The RSI has moved into overbought territory on all timeframes. 

Market mechanics

  • ETH’s Open Interest has risen substantially from $7.0b to $7.8b in just a few days. 
  • The OI-Weighted Funding Rate has ramped up similarly to BTC. Funding was at 0.0120% and increased to 0.0340%, although it has pulled back to 0.0250%.
  • The Long/Short Ratio is at 1.018. This is relatively healthy, indicating an even balance between Longs and Shorts, at least in the last 24 hours.

Cryptonary’s take

Looking at the mechanics, it’s a healthier setup than BTC as the Funding is very positive, but at 0.025%, this is an okay level. The Open Interest has increased significantly, so this could lead to a flush out, although we would likely need to see Funding go even more positive before we get a flush out.

The TA looks very positive. A move down to the $2,100s would be positive for price action if $2,120 can hold as support, and the price can bounce higher from there. We would be light DCA buyers of ETH in the low $2,100s if we are given this price. 

We see ETH as being very well set up to test higher levels ($2,340 and then $2,640) in the coming month.

Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
