The post ETH Weekly Strategy: Resistance Test and Consolidation in the Uptrend (January 19, 2026) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ethereum holds critical support levels despite a weekly 2.75% decline within the broad uptrend; market structure signals a consolidation phase, and the multi-timeframe resistance cluster will be direction-determining. ETH in Weekly Market Summary This week, Ethereum (ETH) traded in the 3.177,68$ – 3.368,82$ range, losing 2.75% in value and closing at 3.214,02$.
