Ethereum Could Double Gas Limit as Price Eyes Resistance at $3.015

• Ethereum May Increase Gas Limit to 60 Million
• Validators signal support and network gains scale
• ETH tests resistance with support at $2.350

More than 150 Ethereum validators — about 15% of the total network — are signaling support for a new increase in the block gas limit. The proposal aims to raise the current cap of 36 million to 60 million units, significantly increasing the capacity of transactions per second on the network’s layer 1.

The information comes from hardware gaslimit.pics, managed by researcher Toni Wahrstätter. In Ethereum, gas measures the computational effort required to process smart contracts and transactions. The block gas limit determines the total volume of operations that can be executed in each block.

This type of adjustment does not require a hard fork. As more than 50% of validators update their nodes to the new parameter, the system automatically increases the limit. The last modification occurred in February of this year, increasing the value from 30 million to 36 million units — before that, it had been doubled from 15 to 30 million in 2021.

Despite the expected gains in efficiency, some developers have expressed concerns about the strain this increase could put on node operators’ hardware. The overhead could affect decentralization by requiring more processing power and local storage.

ETH Price Analysis

On the market, Ethereum (ETH) is trading at US$2.656,42, up 4% this Monday. The asset is showing a positive trend. The main resistance is at US$2.820. If it manages to overcome this barrier, the price could advance to the US$3.015 region in the short term, indicating greater buying strength.

On the other hand, immediate support is located around $2.350. If this level is lost, ETH could correct further and test lower levels, with $2.120 being the next potential downside target. The price action closely follows the network’s technical developments, which tend to influence investor sentiment.
