It has witnessed a modest increase, moving from $2,634 at the beginning of the day to an intra-day high of $2,688 in the past few hours.

Zooming out, over the past week, Ethereum shows prices being deterred by bears to attempt a breakout. The altcoin exhibits a weekly price performance of 3.38% increase resulting from the bull-bear combat. The weekly price chart of ETH shows prices consolidating along the $2.6K range over the last 7 days, after several attempts of price breakouts visiting $2.7K.
Moreover, the lack of significant price movements indicates that Ethereum might be entering a consolidation phase. Additionally, market analyst Ali, recently reported on X that long-term ETH whales have shown selling activity. This has caused negative sentiments in the market towards the altcoin.
Will Ethereum (ETH) Break Current Price Resistance?
According to TradingView data, Ethereum prices have shown a monthly performance of 23.71% decline. However, its year-to-date still stands at a positive 16.43% indicating the token sustaining a part of its earlier gains.

If the token manages to surpass the current resistance utilizing positive momentums and reach $3K then it can be expected to witness price breakouts. Meanwhile, other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have also shown similar price cycles.
