$ETH is quietly doing what $BTC can't right now: holding green. Price sits at $2,686.61, +0.41% on $586.81M volume, while $BTC stalls at $83,926 (-0.16%) and $SOL rips +3.57%. Relative strength, but in a narrow band — this reads as accumulation, not breakout.
On pure price action, ETH is coiling between the $2,650 shelf (repeated intraday support) and the $2,720–$2,730 supply cluster. Volume is uninspiring versus BTC's $1.43B, so ETH lags the next BTC expansion leg until it reclaims $2,730 with expansion. Staking yield versus leverage demand matters less here than structure: funding stays neutral, no crowded long to squeeze, which favors a grind over a cascade.
Key level: $2,650. Lose it on a daily close and the coil resolves down toward $2,580; reclaim $2,730 and ETH leads.
Risk management: keep size modest until either boundary breaks with volume — the middle of this range is where stops get clipped.
