Will Ethereum be at or above $2,480 on Aug 30?
Same-day prices and highs have remained below $2,480, so Ethereum reaching that threshold at the 5 p.m. EDT evaluation is unlikely.
The settlement-basis price is $2,465.05, just 0.61% below the threshold, so an above-threshold print remains possible. However, every cited same-day venue quote was below $2,480, and reported daily highs also fell short. Recent spot selling, repeated resistance, and weak volume further weigh against a late recovery. Strong ETF inflows and the narrow price gap preserve a live upside path, but an evaluation below $2,480 is the more likely outcome.
