Technically, the symmetrical triangle pattern indicates that if the price breaks through the upper boundary, the theoretical upside could reach $2,850, corresponding to the 200-day EMA.At the same time, the next resistance level is around $2,500 near the 100-day EMA. On-chain data shows that resistance for Ethereum is concentrated in the $2,770--$2,880 range, where over 7.9 million ETH are held long-term. Additionally, the cost basis distribution indicates that there is an accumulation of over 3 million ETH near the $2,800 mark, providing a potential pathway for the price to challenge this level in the short term. Considering multiple factors, $2,800 may become a key target for Ethereum in the next phase.
