Ethereum is testing a major resistance area again after failing to hold near a prior local top, and traders are watching for whether ETH can break through convincingly or whether another fakeout occurs before the broader downtrend resumes.
According to trader Elja, ETH is pulling back after another rejection near the upper boundary of its rising structure. The chart highlights an ascending channel pattern: Ethereum moved higher within the channel, pushed above the upper trendline twice, and then lost momentum. Those two highlighted areas represent similar rejection zones where price broke above resistance but failed to hold, suggesting buyers have not yet secured a clean breakout.
Elja’s chart shows ETH sliding back toward the lower trendline of the ascending channel. This level has supported the trend during the recent advance. A strong close that reclaims the broken level would help keep the bullish structure intact, while continued weakness and a close below support would point to a deeper pullback rather than immediate continuation.
The key message in Elja’s setup is that the market is at an important decision point: a strong close would confirm renewed buyer control, while another weak finish would keep the prior rejection in focus.
Trader Ted Pillows frames the current move as a test against a major resistance zone. The key level is a red resistance band just above the latest recovery area. After bouncing from lower support, ETH has rallied into this zone, making it a critical checkpoint for buyers.
Ted’s setup does not treat the move into resistance as a confirmed bullish breakout. Instead, it suggests Ethereum could push slightly above resistance, trigger breakout expectations, and then reverse—continuing the broader downtrend. The chart context also points to lower highs and heavy rejection from higher resistance areas over time, indicating that while the rebound may have improved short-term momentum, it has not yet changed the larger bearish structure.
Ted’s main argument is that Ethereum has not confirmed a long-term bottom yet. Even if ETH breaks above the first resistance zone, traders may still want to see whether it can hold that move and continue higher. If it cannot, the chart suggests the rally could end up as another temporary bounce within a still fragile structure.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
