Crypto Analysis – ETH to 2900 or reversing to 2500s.

Based on the 5 key fundamentals we just outlined and their current trajectory, the fundamentals suggest that ETH is in a strong upward cycle โ€” but not one that explodes straight upward in a week without pauses.

Hereโ€™s a reasoned 1-week price forecast based on fundamentals + current technical context:


๐Ÿ”ฎ ETH Price Forecast โ€“ 1 Week Outlook (May 14โ€“21, 2025)



๐Ÿงพ Summary:

  • ๐ŸŸข Upside favored but not explosive โ€” more likely a step-wise climb with consolidation

  • ๐Ÿ”„ Expected consolidation zone: 2630โ€“2780

  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Breakout trigger zone: 2800โ€“2850

  • ๐Ÿš€ If bullish momentum continues and ETF rumors heat up: 2950 test is realistic by May 21

Despite the bullish price rise, hereโ€™s why ETH can still reverse sharply:


โš ๏ธ Why a Reversal Is Still on the Table

1. MACD Still Negative on Higher Timeframes

  • On 1W and even parts of 1D, MACD is only just crossing, not yet confirmed.

  • This means the underlying momentum is still bearish in the macro view.

  • Price is leading sentiment โ€” thatโ€™s dangerous if volume or follow-through lags.


2. Retail-Driven Surge Without Institutional Volume

  • If the current pump was driven by low-liquidity retail FOMO, larger players (whales, funds) may soon take profits or open shorts.

  • ETH is near a logical resistance cluster (2800) โ€” a known liquidity magnet.


3. RSI Divergence Risk

  • Short-term RSI (1Hโ€“4H) has already peaked and is showing bearish divergence from price.

  • That usually precedes a pullback or correction unless new buying steps in fast.


4. ADX Can Be Deceptive

  • ADX high โ‰  trend continuation. Once it flattens or curls, trends reverse fast.

  • This could trigger a โ€œfake breakoutโ€ liquidation cascade.


5. Fundamentals Arenโ€™t Immediate

  • ETF? Still speculative. L2s? Long-term.

  • If macro or BTC pulls back, ETH fundamentals wonโ€™t protect it near-term.


๐Ÿ”ป Summary: Watch for These Bearish Triggers

  • MACD stays flat or curls โ†’ first warning

  • RSI breaks below 50 on 1H/2H โ†’ loss of momentum

  • Price closes below 2630 โ†’ support breached

  • High volume red candles near 2750โ€“2800 โ†’ sign of distribution

ETH could drop hard if trapped longs get squeezed โ€” even down to 2500โ€“2530 before new buyers return.
