Ethereum trades near $1,805 on July 11, pushing above the falling 50-day moving average and probably going for a retest attempt.
The rebound from the $1,505 June low has now returned Ethereum to the exact zone where its last weeks of trouble began. Price is working through a confluence at $1,805: the horizontal shelf that rejected the late-June recovery attempt and the descending 50-day SMA have converged into almost a single band. Holding above it after the initial push would be the first successful retest of the 50-day since the average turned lower in May.

Clearing the band probably would shift the target to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement of the decline, around $1,870. Above that, the chart is thin until the 100-day average and the $2,000 area where a rising trendline was lost. Failure at the current confluence, by contrast, leaves the sequence of lower highs intact and puts the $1,700 area back in play as the first support, with the $1,505 low as the structural floor.
A Tenfold Bridge Spike Adds a Demand Angle
The flow data supplies the fundamental story the chart lacks. ETH bridged from Ethereum mainnet to Robinhood Chain increased roughly 10x over the past week, crossing $100 million in cumulative deposits, according to Token Terminal data. The chain, Robinhood’s layer-2 network built for its tokenized equities push, uses ETH as its native gas token, which means every account funded and every transaction executed on it consumes ETH-denominated resources.

The number is small against Ethereum’s market capitalization which is around $219B per CoinMarketCap, and one week of bridge flows does not establish a trend. What makes it worth tracking is the mechanism: unlike exchange inflows, which typically precede selling, bridge deposits to an ETH-gas network represent ETH being put to work rather than put up for sale. If Robinhood’s tokenized stock volumes keep scaling, the bridge becomes a recurring bid for ETH from a brokerage user base that mostly did not hold it before, a demand source independent of crypto-native sentiment.
Confirmation for the bullish read is specific: a daily close above the 50-day band, a hold on the retest, and continued weekly growth in Robinhood Chain deposits. Rejection at $1,805 paired with a flattening of the bridge curve would mean both the technical and the flow argument failed at the same time, and the range floor becomes the operative level again.
