Ethereum Now Challenges $1,600 Resistance as Pectra, Fusaka Upgrade Momentum Builds

• Ethereum (ETH) shows strength, actively testing the significant $1,600 price level after market volatility
• Major network upgrades, Pectra (May) and Fusaka (late 2025), promise to boost ETH scalability and utility
• These fundamental improvements via upgrades underpin a bullish outlook, holding ETH price gains

Ethereum (ETH) sits at a key point right now wherein investors are weighing the heavy whale selling and low network activity against upcoming technical upgrades against hopes of a price recovery.

Data shows whales have offloaded a massive 143,000 ETH (~$229 million) just last week. That kind of selling often signals caution among major market participants.
