Ethereum surges 18% as volume jumps 402%


- But THESE 2 risks could halt ETH
Ethereum's breakout faces a key test as buyers confront heavy resistance and sizeable leveraged short positions. Ethereum has surged by 18% in the past 24 hours as of writing, pushing ETH out of its five-week consolidation and extending its weekly gain to 19.65%.
In support of the rally, the altcoin's trading volume jumped 402% as the price cleared the $2,003 resistance and reached $2,252.80.
Meanwhile, the RSI rose to 92.14, indicating that the momentum had been stretched significantly after the extremely fast increase in price.
Additionally, MACD increased sharply, further supporting acceleration as ETH was moving into a wider trading area than it ever previously had.

The sharper the rise, the harder the fall—beware the risks.

Honestly, all indicators are in the overbought zone, and MACD is also showing signs of bearish divergence. In this kind of market, it is either the main uptrend or the final sprint. The key is whether it can quickly break through 2500; the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for the bulls. It is advisable not to chase the rally, but to wait for a pullback confirmation before entering.

Manage your position size and don’t go all-in. Chasing the price at this level is no different from gambling.

Up 18% over 24 hours, with trading volume surging 402%—the data is indeed impressive. But what really concerns me is the RSI soaring to 92, an extremely overbought signal that points to a high probability of a short-term pullback. On top of that, large short positions are still waiting in the derivatives market, suggesting that someone has deliberately set up defenses at key price levels. I think this rebound resembles a short squeeze; without new capital coming in to provide support, it is very likely to spike and then retrace. In terms of execution, either open a small long position or wait until it holds above 2500.

With the surge this strong and RSI already at 92, be careful chasing the highs—you could get trapped.
