February 27 News, Vitalik Buterin’s long-term Ethereum scaling framework “Strawmap” has received support from the Ethereum Foundation. The core goals are to shorten block generation times, reduce transaction confirmation delays, and strengthen finality mechanisms. Although this is not the final upgrade version, it signals a clear move toward accelerating network performance optimization, providing new fundamental support for Ethereum’s price trend.
According to the plan, faster block generation and higher transaction finality rates will improve Rollup efficiency, enhance DeFi execution speed, and optimize on-chain user experience. This means that under narratives such as “Ethereum Scaling Roadmap,” “ETH Network Upgrade Progress,” and “Shortening Block Confirmation Time,” market expectations for its long-term scalability are being restored. Recent weeks of selling pressure have weighed on ETH, but reaffirming the technical route helps stabilize market sentiment.
In terms of price, Ethereum is currently hovering around $2,035, rebounding after falling below the February low of $1,900. In January, ETH sharply declined from the $3,200–$3,300 range and found support around $1,850, then oscillated between $1,900 and $2,100. The $2,100 level is now a key resistance; a confirmed daily breakout could open the way to $2,300. The $2,500 level remains a medium-term structural resistance.
On the downside, $1,900 is a short-term bullish line; if broken, the $1,800 zone will become the next demand area. Momentum indicators have shown marginal improvement, with the Aroon oscillator turning positive, and the bullish-bearish strength indicator returning above zero, indicating weakening bearish momentum and a gradual return of buying. However, a trend reversal still requires a volume breakout above $2,100 for confirmation. Amid technical recovery and upgrade expectations, Ethereum is at a critical stage of contention.

Citigroup slashes Bitcoin and Ethereum 12-month price targets, stating that stalled U.S. crypto legislation weakens upward catalysts.
Citigroup lowers its 12-month target prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum, indicating that its medium-term outlook for the crypto market has turned cautious, mainly because progress on U.S. crypto-asset legislation has been slow. Its Bitcoin target is reduced from $143,000 to $112,000, and its Ethereum target is lowered to $3,175. Although there is still room for upside in the future, the lack of new policy catalysts means prices could trade within a range in the short term. Citigroup is even more cautious in its assessment of Ethereum, saying it is more heavily influenced by on-chain activity.
