Analyst Marcus Corvinus stated that Ethereum experienced a clean rejection at the $2,150 level. He explained that the current low-volatility conditions typically end with significant price expansion.
A breach below $2,050 could drive the price toward the $1,900 demand zone, while a break above $2,150 may lead to a swift continuation. Another analyst, Crypto Patel, identified the $1,800 to $1,400 range as a major historical accumulation zone.
Patel noted that similar past consolidations have resulted in strong expansions. His long-term price targets for Ethereum are $10,000, $15,000, and $20,000.
