ETH’s range tightens ahead of breakout

ETH maintains its breakout above $1,745, with bullish structure intact, though high Open Interest from cash-and-carry trades skews signals. A move to $2,160 is possible—if support holds.

  • ETH's Funding Rate has fluctuated, but it has mostly remained positive, whilst its Open Interest (by number of coins) remains very high. This suggests that there's a big demand for the 'cash-and-carry' trade. This distorts the data, meaning OI and Funding become less of a signal for ETH.

Technical analysis

  • ETH has broken out of its main downtrend line, and it's holding above its horizontal level of $1,745. If price loses this level, then we'd expect a move back to $1,600.
  • To the upside, the key horizontal resistances are at $2,000 and $2,160.
  • The RSI is in middle territory, and it's now sitting on top of its moving average; this is a support level for ETH.
  • Price has remained in a tight range between $1,745 and $1,850. We are expecting a breakout, and likely to the upside, assuming the general market doesn't dramatically sell off.

  • Next Support: $1,745
  • Next Resistance: $2,000
  • Direction: Neutral/Bullish
  • Upside Target: $2,160
  • Downside Target: $1,530

Cryptonary's take

Overall, we're relatively sceptical on the market now as we are expecting a pullback over the coming days/weeks. However, ETH is the setup that looks best for a move higher, if that's directionally how you want to bet. If the market can hold up, then ETH can break out and move higher, potentially to $2,000. However, due to our bearish stance on the market currently, we're not looking to play ETH here.

If ETH were to pull back to $1,530 to $1,600, it may be worth beginning to accumulate a very small bag for the long run, even if we do believe more in SOL and HYPE as outperformers over the coming 6-12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. 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. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

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.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
