Ethereum (ETH) has completed a technical breakout and retest, with analysts now watching a critical price zone between $2,200 and $2,400. The CLARITY Act could be a catalyst that pressures short positions, while failure to pass the bill may expose the asset to a decline toward $1,500. Long-term analyst Crypto Patel targets $10,000 if ETH holds support and clears major resistance levels, including a recovery above $3,945 and a new all-time high. The price is currently consolidating inside a demand zone following the confirmation of a break of structure.
Ethereum price has confirmed a technical break of structure after completing a downtrend breakout and retest, according to analyst Qmo. The setup places Ethereum near a decisive stage, with consolidation expected before any attempt to reach $2,200 to $2,400.
Qmo said the initial breakout and retest are complete. The chart is now consolidating inside a demand zone, which the analyst described as the second stage of a five-step sequence.
Under that scenario, the next move would carry ETH toward $2,200 to $2,400. A stronger continuation could then target $3,000, followed by an expansion above $4,000.
Those levels remain projections rather than confirmed outcomes. The Ethereum price must preserve the new structure and leave the demand zone before the higher targets become relevant.
Qmo also highlighted that a similar breakout from Ethereum has been seen before a rotation towards significant altcoins. The liquidity rotation could help drive the next phase of the broader market if the structure holds.
Analyst Ted highlighted significant liquidity pools both above and below the market, allowing for a quick move in either direction. He considered the CLARITY Act as the main catalyst for the Ethereum price, stating that adoption of the bill could put pressure on short positions, while failure to pass would put ETH under threat of breaking down to $1,500.
Crypto Patel provided a longer-term analysis based on Ethereum’s past four-year cycles, comparing the existing pattern with rallies, corrections, and accumulation phases seen prior to the 2017 and 2021 peaks. He highlighted the primary support level between $1,000 and $1,350, noting that staying within that range keeps his bullish scenario intact.
According to his analysis, before any higher targets become realistic, the price must first recover from resistance around $3,945, then make a new all-time high and build support above it. Crypto Patel’s chart places $10,000 as a long-term target and shows a potential cycle peak between roughly $16,000 and $22,500 during 2026 or 2027, dependent on Ethereum repeating its earlier cycle pattern.
