Ethereum on the Brink: Just 9.65% Away from Shattering 4-Year Resistance at $4,500

Ethereum's price action is flirting with history—again. The $4,500 threshold isn't just another number; it's the line in the sand separating 'bullish' from 'generational breakout.' And right now? ETH is hovering just 9.65% shy of rewriting its legacy.

### The Make-or-Break Moment
