Ethereum is looking to break above a key resistance level at $2,150. Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe says ETH price could jump to between $3,100  and $3,600 if a breakout happens. Catalyst for the market include a spot Bitcoin ETF approval and developments on Ether spot ETF applications.

Ethereum (ETH) traded to highs of $2,136 last week, before giving up some of the gains over the weekend to touch $2,016.

The top altcoin has however seen an uptick on Monday, rising to change hands around $2,120 as buyers looked for a first green candle in three days.

Various market observers see a potential approval for a spot Bitcoin ETF as a catalyst that could catapult both BTC and ETH. While many experts opine that the most likely period for approval is early January, there’s a window for the SEC to greenlight the first spot Bitcoin ETF for the US market. 

This window is open until November 17.

Reminder: There is currently a window open this week for an early approval of the $BTC etf through the 17th.

For one top analyst, ETH/USD faces a major hurdle near $2,150 – break this and the price of the world’s second largest cryptocurrency by market cap could surge to the next supply zone around $3,100. Above this would be the key resistance at $3,600.

The prediction thus forecasts a 44%-67% price jump for Ethereum if bulls break higher.

According to Michael van de Poppe, the highlighted resistance at $2,150 is comparable to the massive wall that rebuffed numerous bullish attempts for Bitcoin (BTC) at $30,000. Sharing his prediction with more than 672k followers on X, the founder and CEO of crypto trading group MN Trading wrote:

“Ethereum faces the final resistance. Breaking above $2,150 marks the end of the bear market, as this level is comparable to the $30,000 barrier of Bitcoin. If it breaks, then we’re likely seeing a run towards $3,100-3,600.”

Van de Poppe shared a price chart for Ethereum showing an ascending triangle pattern, which in technical analysis, signals a potential bullish breakout. The chart marks the two anticipated primary resistance zones as shown below.
