Ethereum keeps hitting the same wall near $1,948. Now the setup is getting tighter - and the next breakout attempt could decide where ETH goes next: ▪ $ETH has repeatedly failed to clear the $1,936–$1,948 resistance zone, while RSI near 50 shows buyers still lack strong momentum ▪ A breakout above $1,948 could trigger short liquidations around $1,940–$1,960 and open the door toward $2,000 ▪ Ethereum funding rates are down more than 30%, suggesting leveraged longs are cooling and reducing the risk of an overcrowded bullish trade ▪ Active addresses jumped to around 870,000, giving ETH a positive network signal even while price remains stuck below resistance So yes, pressure is building around Ethereum. But this is still a waiting game: break $1,948 and $2,000 becomes realistic; fail again and $1,837 comes back into focus. For now, ETH needs to prove buyers are ready before the wider market - including $BTC - can take the move seriously. #ETH #ETHBlockchain #BTC Price Analysis#
