The short-term outlook for Ethereum depends on the price reaction to the resistance zone of $2,400–$2,480. Buyers continue to defend higher support levels, maintaining a bullish recovery structure. However, repeated rejection at resistance highlights ongoing distribution pressure. As a result, $ETH remains in a decision zone where a breakout or correction could develop quickly. If the bullish momentum strengthens with increased volume, $ETH could break through to $2,520 and continue further toward $2,600. Additionally, sustained support above $2,320 will confirm the continuation of the trend's strengthening.
