Ethereum Technical Outlook: ETH Needs a $2.4k Close to Shift Momentum

Ethereum is trading near $2.3k and continues to stall below the $2.4k resistance that has defined months of consolidation.

Derivatives sentiment has turned more aggressive, with funding reaching +0.0105, raising the risk of either an amplified breakout or a swift long unwind.
