This breakout could be laying the foundation for a broader push toward $3,000, with the current level near $2,500 acting more like a pit stop than a ceiling. Recent price action shows ETH consolidating above multiple EMAs, and despite some choppy candles, bulls are holding their ground. The bounce from the 200 EMA was swift and backed by a…
