Ethereum Futures Analysis Today – TradeCompass Methodology in Action

Hello traders and crypto investors, Today we bring you a fresh Ethereum futures analysis using the TradeCompass methodology—a professional-grade approach that incorporates volume profile, VWAPs, liquidity zones, and key historical levels to help you make more informed decisions.

Ethereum (ETH) remains the second-largest crypto asset by market cap, with the most active developer community in the blockchain world. And while Bitcoin has already surged past its all-time high.

Ethereum has not reached its all time high yet —which makes this market particularly interesting from both a technical and strategic standpoint (including having more historic levels and references to consider… more to work with).

Why Ethereum Futures and Not Spot ETH?

We analyze ETH futures (not spot prices) because futures markets offer:

• More transparent volume and liquidity data

• Institutional order flow visibility

• Consistent structure across timeframes for analysis

At the time of writing, ETH futures are trading in the $2,624–$2,628 range.

tradeCompass Methodology: How It Works

The TradeCompass system combines several professional tools:

1. Volume Profile

• Shows where the majority of trading volume has taken place at specific price levels.

• Highlights Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)—critical levels where price is likely to react.

2. VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)

• VWAP calculates the average price of Ethereum based on both price and volume during a session.

• Standard deviations of VWAP help define trend boundaries, breakout zones, and support/resistance.

3. Liquidity Zones & Round Numbers

• Round numbers like $2,600, $2,500, and $2,700 attract heavy trading and stop orders. They act as magnets or reversal zones.

• Market makers often use these levels to create fakeouts and stop hunts, so we adjust our strategy accordingly.

4. Partial Profit Framework

• TradeCompass emphasizes taking profits in stages, reducing risk and protecting gains.

• The goal is not just accuracy, but sustainable profitability by managing trades dynamically.

Key Ethereum Futures Levels Right Now

Bullish Bias Above $2,600

• $2,600 is a round number and a major pivot level.

• Aligned with:

  • May 16 VWAP: $2,600

  • May 16 POC: $2,602

  • May 22 (Today’s) POC: $2,604

Holding above this zone confirms buyer control. Dips to this region and rebounds can be viewed as long opportunities.

Another CLOSE and RELEVANT Bullish Support Zone: $2,580–$2,586

• May 13 VWAP: $2,580

• Today’s VWAP: $2,586.4

• If ETH futures dip here, it’s a technical buy zone with clearly defined risk (stop just below) and strong reward potential

ETH Futures – Bearish If Below $2,538

If Ethereum futures break below $2,538, it could trigger a shift to bearish sentiment. This level will be updated further as we analyze liquidity clusters, lower VWAP deviations, and developing volume profiles.

What to Do as a Crypto Trader or Investor

• Don’t chase long breakouts blindly. Wait for retracements into support zones near VWAP or POC clusters.

• Don’t short blindly. Shorting into bullish support zones or near VAHs without confirmation often leads to losses.

• Partial profits are key. Whether you are long from $2,580 or $2,600, don’t wait for a fantasy top. Take profits along the way at pre-planned levels.
