Ethereum Price Analysis

ETH/USD is bullish at press time, and buyers remain in control for the better part of this week.

The breakout above $2,400 was crucial in setting the ball rolling.

With sellers giving up and ETH bull momentum building up steam, there might be opportunities to consider longs.

Any unexpected dump below $2,500 will question whether bulls have what it takes to lift the coin above $3,000.
