Cryptonary's take
ETH is essentially back into its range between $2,420 and $2,720, and to be honest, it's neither too bullish nor bearish here. A move higher (and a breakout) is likely now going to be led by other Majors (BTC or SOL), rather than being ETH-led like it was last week. For now, our expectation is that ETH will remain range-bound over the coming days/week, but the price may push into the resistance at $2,720. From there, we'll have to watch to see if price action is strong enough to break out.
