Ethereum price heads toward a bullish breakout
Ethereum price could wipe out its losses and begin a recovery soon as analysts await the support of an ascending trend line. Crypto analysts at FXStreet believe that after consolidating in a pennant structure since mid-May, Ethereum is set to perform a bullish breakout with the support of an ascending trend line. Analysts have predicted a jump above $2,148.67 and set the target at $2,300.

The crypto market recently witnessed an industry-wide sell-off in response to the collapse of Terraform Labs’ sister tokens LUNA and UST. Since then, Ethereum and altcoins have entered a period of consolidation. Analysts at Glassnode have evaluated the return profile on both a short-term (monthly) and long-term (four years) basis for Ethereum.
Though demand for Ethereum has dried up significantly, Glassnode analysts argue that gas prices have been in a structural downtrend since December. With the exception of high-profile NFT mints like Bored Ape Yacht Club, and the market-wide sell-off last week, Ethereum mean gas prices are declining. This is a driver of bullish sentiment among Ethereum holders in the community.
