Ethereum Faces Resistance at $2.8K as Selling Pressure Builds Near $2,500 Level

  • Ethereum approaches the $2,800 resistance level as investors and futures traders increase selling pressure.
  • Technical indicators show the rally is weakening despite the overall uptrend.

Ethereum has surged more than 40% over the past month, bouncing back from lows near $1,800 to reclaim levels above $2,500. This sharp recovery reflects strong bullish sentiment and broader market confidence. However, signs are emerging that this rally could be losing steam as Ethereum approaches a key resistance zone around $2,800.

Ethereum On-Chain Data Points to a Potential Sell-Off

Glassnode reports that a significant cluster of investor cost basis levels lies around $2,800. Many holders who bought at this level have been in a loss position for months. Now that ETH is nearing their break-even point, these investors may be tempted to sell, introducing fresh downward pressure on the market.

Futures Market Hints at Rising Bearish Activity

Caution is also evident in the derivatives space. According to a May 25 analysis by Santiment, Ethereum’s Taker Buy-Sell Ratio—a measure of aggressive buying versus selling in futures—has seen a sharp decline. Its 14-day moving average is trending downward, suggesting sellers are starting to dominate this segment. If this trend continues, it could intensify short-term bearish pressure.

Ethereum Technical Indicators Signal a Cooling Rally

While Ethereum remains in an overall uptrend, a few technical cracks have started to appear. The cryptocurrency still trades above key moving averages, including the 50-day and 100-day lines—positive signs for the broader trend. However, the Bollinger Bands are tightening, suggesting reduced volatility and potential indecision in the market.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at around 63.9, which indicates bullish conditions but no longer shows overbought strength. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has flattened and just formed a bearish crossover—often an early sign of weakening upside momentum.

Key Resistance Level Will Define the Next Move

Ethereum’s near-term future hinges on its performance around the $2,800 mark. If this resistance is convincingly broken—especially with the SEC’s decision on Ethereum staking ETFs expected by June 1—ETH could rally toward $3,000 or higher, fueled by institutional interest.

On the flip side, if selling pressure overwhelms buyers at $2,800, Ethereum could retreat toward the $2,200 support zone before attempting another leg higher. For now, the long-term trend remains intact, but traders should watch this resistance level closely.
