While the recent strength has improved short-term sentiment, the higher-timeframe structure has yet to confirm a sustained trend reversal, leaving room for increased volatility around current levels.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ethereum-price-analysis-the-daily-chart\">Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart<\/h2>\n<p>On the daily timeframe, ETH has broken above the upper boundary of the descending channel that guided the broader downtrend for several months. While this initially appears constructive, the breakout has not yet been confirmed and could still develop into a false breakout if price fails to hold above the former channel resistance over the coming sessions.<\/p>\n<p>The $2K-$2.15K supply zone remains the primary obstacle for bulls. This area is reinforced by the declining 100-day moving average, making it a significant resistance cluster despite the recent improvement in price action.<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, the $1.75K-$1.8K region now acts as the first line of defense. Holding this zone would keep the breakout attempt intact, whereas losing it could drag ETH back toward the broader demand area around $1.5K-$1.55K and confirm that the move above the channel was merely a liquidity sweep rather than a genuine trend reversal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ETH-D-2-1.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"eth-usdt-4-hour-chart\">ETH\/USDT 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n<p>The 4-hour chart shows Ethereum consolidating within an ascending flag after the sharp impulsive rally from the July lows. Rather than signaling immediate weakness, the current pullback appears to be developing as a corrective phase inside the broader recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The white ascending trendline represents the flag\u2019s intra-dynamic support and has repeatedly attracted buyers during recent retracements. As long as ETH continues to respect this trendline, the structure favors another attempt to challenge the recent swing high around $1.9K.<\/p>\n<p>However, a decisive break below the ascending support would invalidate the flag structure and expose the blue demand zone around $1.76K-$1.8K, where buyers would likely attempt to regain control.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ETH-4H-2-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1443216\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=9999\" alt=\"\" width=\"2462\" height=\"1329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=2462 2462w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=300,h=162 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=1024,h=553 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=768,h=415 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=1536,h=829 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=2048,h=1106 2048w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=90,h=49 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=150,h=81 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=2000,h=1080 2000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=1600,h=864 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=1400,h=756 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=1200,h=648 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=1000,h=540 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=900,h=486 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=800,h=432 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=700,h=378 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=600,h=324 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=500,h=270 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=400,h=216 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=200,h=108 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/f767f634-2392-40f3-ed69-c3914fa95800\/w=100,h=54 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2462px) 100vw, 2462px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sentiment-analysis\">Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>The Exchange Inflow (Top 10) metric tracks the amount of ETH transferred to exchanges by the largest deposit transactions, which are often associated with whales and institutional participants.<\/p>\n<p>Recent data shows that exchange inflows from large holders have remained relatively subdued following several notable spikes earlier in the year. The latest readings are well below those previous peaks despite Ethereum\u2019s recovery toward $1.8K, suggesting there has not been a meaningful increase in selling pressure from major market participants.<\/p>\n<p>This relatively muted inflow profile complements the current technical structure. While it does not guarantee further upside, the absence of aggressive exchange deposits from large holders indicates that significant profit-taking has yet to emerge, allowing Ethereum to continue testing higher resistance levels as long as the short-term support structure remains intact.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ethereum-Exchange-Inflow-Top10-All-Exchanges-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1443218\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=2560\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=2560 2560w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=300,h=169 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=1024,h=576 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=768,h=432 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=1536,h=864 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=2048,h=1152 2048w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=90,h=51 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=150,h=84 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=2000,h=1125 2000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=1600,h=900 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=1400,h=788 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=1200,h=675 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=1000,h=563 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=900,h=506 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=800,h=450 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=700,h=394 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=600,h=338 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=500,h=281 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=400,h=225 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=200,h=113 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/27c102ef-d36c-417c-38cd-b48a46e11100\/w=100,h=56 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pl\/bybit24\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"if(typeof gtag === 'function') { gtag('event', 'footer_ad_click', {'page_path': window.location.pathname, 'exchange': 'bybit', 'link_type': 'main'}); }\">Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic; color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Disclaimer: Information found on CryptoPotato is those of writers quoted.
