Selling your Ethereum right now could be like getting off a plane just before it takes off, simply because you saw the pilot taking a little too long on the runway. ✈️🛑 While many are stressed out because the price can't break the psychological barrier of $3,000, those who know how to read the charts are seeing something much more interesting: a steel structure being quietly assembled.

The reality is that, although the atmosphere feels a bit heavy, Ethereum is drawing a series of "higher lows." This, in our language, means that every time the price tries to drop, buyers jump in faster than before to defend the coin. 🛡️ It's like a spring being compressed in a technical triangle since December 2025; the more it compresses, the stronger the jump tends to be when it finally explodes.

Now, we need to keep our eyes wide open to these specific numbers because they are our line of fire:

  • $2,860:It is our first shield. As long as we are above this, the plan continues to move forward. 🛡️

  • $2,780: If we close below this level, then we will reconsider the play because the structure would break. 📉

As of today, we are navigating near $2,950. Many traders are falling into the temptation to "short" (bet that it will fall), but the heavier analysts say that is the worst possible play. Why? Because you are betting against a wall that has proven to be very solid. If the support holds, the next target is $3,340, and that is where things get truly exciting. 🚀

We cannot ignore the bigger picture. Yes, ETFs have been a bit slow and the general mood in the market is somewhat lukewarm, but the big players have not left. Giants like BlackRock are already moving their pieces to launch Ethereum ETFs with staking, which means that institutional money not only wants to hold the currency but wants to put it to work to generate returns. 🏦💎

We are at that tension point where patience separates those who make money from those who just watch. The question is: Are you going to let short-term fear cloud your view of a technical structure that is screaming "accumulation"?

Are we facing the calm before the bullish storm, or do you think the institutional market needs something more than a staking ETF to awaken the beast?$ETH
