Ethereum has entered a consolidation phase following a turbulent period of selling pressure driven by macroeconomic uncertainty and market fear surrounding the US government shutdown. Over the past week, Ethereum’s price has stabilized around the $3,500 level after briefly dipping below key supports, as traders and institutions reassess risk exposure across the crypto market. Related Reading: Bitcoin STH-MVRV Rebounds From Local Low – Potential Recovery Toward $115K–$120K Despite the cautious sentiment, on-chain data reveals a contrasting story — large holders, or “whales,” are quietly accumulating ETH during the downturn. According to data from Lookonchain and CryptoQuant, several high-value wallets have increased their Ethereum positions significantly, signaling growing confidence among long-term investors even as broader market momentum slows. This accumulation phase suggests that sophisticated players view current price levels as an opportunity rather than a sign of broader weakness. Historically, similar patterns of whale buying during macro uncertainty have preceded periods of recovery and renewed market strength. Whale Activity Suggests Strategic Accumulation Despite Market Uncertainty According to data from Lookonchain, a whale known for aggressive Ethereum accumulation has just purchased an additional 30,548 ETH ($105.36 million) within the past hour. This move brings his total acquisitions since November 4 to an astonishing 385,718 ETH, worth roughly $1.33 billion. Notably, around $270 million of the funds used for these purchases were borrowed from the decentralized lending platform Aave, highlighting a highly leveraged but strategic positioning. This type of activity often signals strong institutional confidence in Ethereum’s medium-term outlook. Borrowing large sums to accumulate ETH indicates that the whale expects price appreciation substantial enough to offset borrowing costs and volatility risks. It also reflects growing demand for Ethereum exposure within decentralized finance (DeFi), where whales utilize platforms like Aave to optimize capital efficiency. Such large-scale buying can have multiple implications: it absorbs available market liquidity, strengthens psychological support zones, and may trigger a sentiment shift among retail investors who interpret the move as bullish. However, it also introduces potential short-term risk — if prices correct further, leveraged positions could amplify volatility. Overall, the data points toward renewed accumulation momentum, suggesting that sophisticated market participants are positioning for Ethereum’s next major move. Related Reading: Uniswap Founder Submits Governance Proposal To Burn UNI — Token Jumps 50% Bulls Attempt to Reclaim Momentum Ethereum (ETH) is currently showing signs of stabilization after weeks of intense selling pressure, trading around $3,479 at the time of writing. The daily chart shows ETH holding just above the 200-day moving average (red line) — a key long-term support level that has historically acted as a launch point for bullish recoveries. After dipping below $3,200 earlier in the week, Ethereum bounced strongly, supported by renewed whale accumulation and improving market sentiment. However, the 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages remain above the current price, indicating that the short-term trend is still tilted to the downside. For bulls to regain control, ETH needs to close decisively above $3,650–$3,700, where a confluence of resistance sits. Related Reading: Ethereum Trading Volume On Binance Surpasses $6 Trillion: A Speculative Frenzy Unfolds Volume data suggests that selling pressure is gradually fading, but momentum remains weak. If Ethereum fails to maintain the $3,400–$3,450 zone, the next major support lies near $3,200. On the upside, reclaiming the $3,700 mark could open the door to a recovery toward $4,000. Overall, Ethereum appears to be in a consolidation phase, with large holders accumulating while retail traders remain cautious — a structure that often precedes a stronger directional move.

XRP is entering one of its most crucial weeks in months as a series of bullish catalysts align to set the stage for what could be a breakout move. The token has held firmly above the $2.20 support zone despite the recent market crash, and both technical and fundamental factors now point toward a possible surge in price. According to crypto analyst Guy on the Earth, XRP is in a make-or-break moment, with abundant news catalysts giving traders reasons to stay optimistic about the short-term direction. XRP Holds $2.20 Support; Analyst Eyes Resistance Ahead “Another reversal from lows as XRP holds onto the $2.20 support,” said Guy on the Earth in a recent post on X, capturing the cautious positiveness in the price of XRP. He noted that the token is currently slap bang mid-range, targeting a retest of the $2.63 to $2.72 resistance zone. Related Reading: The XRP Price Is About To Do This In November – “Get Ready” According to him, there is an abundance of positive catalysts this week, ranging from ETF speculation to the end of the ongoing government shutdown. These catalysts are very important, as XRP needs a continuation of its momentum bounce from $2.2 to target the next resistance from here; otherwise, this is a dead cat at best. The analyst emphasized that XRP’s ability to defend its key support levels will be critical in shaping its near-term trajectory. He warned that if the token revisits the $2.20 range, it may struggle to hold that level again, potentially slipping to between $1.90 and $2.00. Despite this caution, he maintained his conviction that the recent lows are already in and that XRP is gradually preparing for a range breakout to the upside. “Things are coming together for the rally we’ve been looking for,” he added, while noting that chopping around this zone is healthy before a break of the range higher. ETF Anticipation Builds Momentum For XRP A large part of this week’s optimism surrounding XRP is tied to growing speculation that a US-listed exchange-traded fund could be nearing approval. Canary Capital’s recent Form 8-A submission to the US Securities and Exchange Commission has increased expectations that the long-discussed spot XRP ETF might debut soon, possibly under the ticker “XRPC.” Related Reading: XRP Price Performance In November: History Says It’s The Most Bullish Month In History The anticipation surrounding this ETF has already begun shaping market sentiment, reflected in the steady stream of excitement from XRP supporters across social media. Traders are drawing comparisons to the rallies seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum following their respective ETF approvals, anticipating a similar influx of institutional demand if XRP’s turn arrives. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $2.41, a 2% dip in the past 24 hours. Maintaining the $2.20 support remains the key technical objective for bulls, as holding that level could pave the way for another attempt at the $2.72 resistance zone in the next few days.

Funstrat co-founder Tom Lee says Ethereum could be the crypto market’s near-term leader, targeting a move to $12,000 by January on the back of Wall Street’s tokenization push and rising growth expectations for smart-contract platforms. In an interview released Nov. 10 with Tom Nash, Lee emphasized that while Bitcoin remains under-owned, “there’s a bigger move in Ethereum” over the next several weeks as capital reallocates toward the rails that power stablecoins and tokenized assets. Why Ethereum Is Poised To Rally Soon Lee anchored his call to a blend of technical and fundamental drivers. Citing Funstrat’s head of technical strategy, he noted: “Mark Newton […] thinks we can be like $9,000 to $12,000 by January. I think that’s about right. I think Ethereum […] more than doubles between now and year end or between now and January.” In parallel, he said Bitcoin could reach the “high $100,000s, maybe even $200,000 by the end of the year,” while reiterating that Ethereum likely has the bigger near-term upside. Related Reading: Ethereum Trading Volume On Binance Surpasses $6 Trillion: A Speculative Frenzy Unfolds The crux of the Ethereum thesis, as Lee laid it out, is that the demand side of crypto is shifting toward applications that depend on smart contracts—precisely the domain where Ethereum is most entrenched. “Even Cathie Wood wrote about it. She thinks stablecoins have been cannibalizing demand for Bitcoin and gold and tokenized gold is cannibalizing demand for Bitcoin. But stablecoins and tokenized gold run on smart contract blockchains like Ethereum,” he said. He added that “Wall Street is building and Larry Fink wants to tokenize everything on the […] blockchain. That means Ethereum is where people are starting to raise their growth expectations.” Lee argued that this change in growth expectations matters as much as, if not more than, headline monetary policy over short windows. While acknowledging that the Federal Reserve remains a critical backdrop, he framed potential December easing as a catalyst for risk assets broadly—financials, small caps, and tech—and, by correlation, crypto. “If they cut in December, they’re confirming they’re on an easing cycle,” he said, calling that “really bullish” for equities most tightly linked to growth and liquidity. In Lee’s framework, those same flows support crypto assets—and Ethereum in particular—into year-end positioning. The fund manager also located the crypto setup within a larger “super-cycle” he’s been mapping for years. He contends that markets are still in the early innings of an AI-driven capex boom and a demographic regime that keeps demand for productive technology elevated. That backdrop, he said, has repeatedly wrong-footed bears who anchored on yield-curve inversions and 1970s inflation analogs. Related Reading: Ethereum Approaches Critical Resistance — Bullish Breakout Or Trap In The Making? “People have a hard time understanding and grasping super cycles […] we look for story arcs that last 10 to 15 years,” he said, arguing the last three years showcased “mass misconceptions” about recession and persistent inflation that never reconciled with reported earnings. The Macro Backdrop Pressed on risks to the call, Lee downplayed the idea that inflation is about to re-accelerate and argued that oil would need to approach levels near $200 to deliver a true growth shock to US households. “The most overrated risk is that inflation’s coming back,” he said, pointing to cooling housing and labor metrics and stating that recent claims about re-heating core services inflation were “dead wrong” when checked against the PCE series. On policy path-dependence, he suggested that even a December hold by Chair Powell would likely accelerate political pressure for a leadership change, muting the medium-term impact on risk assets. Timing-wise, Lee sees positioning as the near-term accelerant. He argued that institutions remain behind their benchmarks after repeatedly fading rallies through 2023–2025 and that the final weeks of the year often force a chase into outperforming segments. “There is incredible demand for equities because people are really off-sides […] 80% are trailing their benchmark this year […] they’re going to be buying stocks,” he said, adding that the AI trade “is going to come back strong” and that crypto tends to correlate with that move. For Ethereum specifically, Lee’s case reduces to a simple through-line: the pipes getting built are where the next leg of growth accrues. Stablecoins, tokenized gold, and Wall Street’s broader tokenization agenda are traffic that runs on programmable blockchains; the market, in his view, is only beginning to price that through. “If you’re raising your growth expectations, then your discount to the future is going up,” Lee said, explaining why he believes ETH can “have a huge move into year end” and reach the $9,000–$12,000 range by January. At press time, ETH traded at $3,447. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Amid the recent market recovery, Ethereum (ETH) is retesting a key level as support for the first time in a week, leading some market watchers to suggest that the highly anticipated end-of-year run may be delayed for a few more weeks. Related Reading: Trump Media Takes $55M Hit As Bitcoin Holdings Surge In Value Ethereum Eyes Next Key Level On Monday, Ethereum retested a crucial level after reclaiming it during the Sunday rebound. The cryptocurrency has been trading within the $3,100-$3,500 range after last week’s market shakeout, briefly hitting a four-month low of $3,057. Over the weekend, the King of Altcoins reclaimed the $3,400 resistance and soared approximately 7% to the $3,650 level, stabilizing around the $3,500-$3,550 area as the new week started. Daan Crypto Trades noted that the current levels are a crucial area to hold in the short term, explaining that “If the bulls can make that happen, we can start looking to fill up some of that inefficiency that was created during the big flush recently.” Nonetheless, Ali Martinez highlighted that over 869,000 ETH were accumulated around the $3,700 level, forming a major resistance wall in the cryptocurrency’s path to the $4,000 psychological barrier. Martinez also pointed out that the number of mega-whale addresses holding more than 10,000 ETH dropped by nearly two dozen in the past week. Per CoinGlass data shared by the analyst, 23 of the largest Ethereum whales sold or redistributed their holdings between November 4 and November 8. Despite this, large-scale investors continued to bet on the King of Altcoin during the market sell-off. Tom Lee, CEO of BitMine, affirmed that “the recent dip in ETH prices presented an attractive opportunity” to purchase the cryptocurrency. As a result, the company bought 110,288 ETH, worth $400 million, last week, increasing its holdings to 3,505,723 million tokens, or 2.9% of ETH’s total supply. ETH’s Q4 Rally Delayed? Despite the recent recovery, Ted Pillows suggested that Ethereum might not run to new highs this month, arguing that, just like Bitcoin, “Ethereum isn’t showing any correlation with M2 supply.” The analyst explained that this often happens when US liquidity growth is hindered. Based on this, he considers that the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization could consolidate throughout the rest of the month “before taking off in Dec 2025/Jan 2026.” Similarly, analyst Crypto Wolf believes ETH will likely “print a clear higher low” near $3,400-$3,500 this month as “only after that can we realistically target new ATHs into December.” The market watcher highlighted that $3,100 is the next major support zone after the recent shakeout. If this level holds in the higher timeframes, ETH could build a base to retest the recent highs. However, losing this crucial area would be “how the bear market begins.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could See 4,440% Rally To $5 If This Macro Cycle Repeats Meanwhile, analyst Cas Abbé noted that ETH’s recent performance resembles its Q2 price action. At the time, the altcoin briefly broke below its multi-month consolidation range before recovering and rallying 100% to new highs in the next two months. If history repeats itself, Ethereum could be preparing to retest the $3,700-$3,800 resistance soon and potentially record a massive rally by the end of the year.

Throughout the past year, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have emerged as the primary focus for a growing trend of Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), particularly driven by favorable pro-crypto regulations worldwide. However, recent reports from Reuters indicate that this focus is beginning to shift towards less popular altcoins. DAT Firms Explore New Opportunities Beyond Bitcoin As of September, there are at least 200 DAT companies, predominantly concentrating on Bitcoin, with a combined market capitalization of approximately $150 billion. This figure reflects a more than threefold increase from the previous year. New companies are launching daily, many of which are penny stocks looking for avenues to enhance profits. Yet, as Bitcoin’s value declines, these firms are increasingly turning to new tokens in hopes of achieving greater returns. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) Holds Strong as Analysts Target $4,400 Despite ETF Outflows In recent weeks, companies such as Greenlane, OceanPal, and Tharimmune have announced plans to acquire tokens like Berachain (BERA), Near protocol (NEAR), and Canton Coin (CC), respectively. Peter Chung, head of research at crypto-focused Presto Research, noted that while the initial hype surrounding DATs has diminished, there remains potential for a resurgence. In a recent interview with Reuters, an OceanPal representative stated that their acquisition of NEAR tokens was intended to leverage the asset’s integrated artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Retail Investors Lose $17 Billion In Crypto Treasuries Earlier in the year, many digital asset treasury companies traded at a premium to their crypto holdings as investors believed these firms could leverage credit to acquire more tokens. However, with Bitcoin’s recent struggles and an influx of Strategy (previously MicroStrategy) imitators, some companies are beginning to falter. Reuters indicates that at least 15 Bitcoin treasury companies were trading below the net asset value of their tokens as of last Friday. Retail investors, significant buyers of high-profile Bitcoin treasury companies, reportedly lost around $17 billion on these trades, according to estimates from Singapore-based 10x Research. Additionally, digital asset treasuries focusing on other leading cryptocurrencies are also facing challenges; ETHZilla and Forward Industries have recently approved share repurchases, a strategy typically employed to support share prices. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could See 4,440% Rally To $5 If This Macro Cycle Repeats Despite the potential for higher gains, analysts warn of the risks associated with this strategy. Cristiano Ventricelli, vice president and senior analyst of digital assets at Moody’s Ratings, cautioned that expanding into “exotic” and less liquid cryptocurrencies could significantly heighten risk. According to Ventricelli, when market conditions worsen, companies that invest in these assets face greater pressure on their equity. Michael O’Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading, also expressed concern that most digital asset treasury companies may ultimately trade at a discount to their digital assets.

Ethereum price started a recovery wave above $3,500. ETH is showing positive signs but faces hurdles near the $3,650 resistance. Ethereum started a decent upward move above $3,420 and $3,500. The price is trading above $3,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $3,520 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it clears the $3,650 zone. Ethereum Price Faces Resistance Ethereum price managed to stay above $3,250 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $3,350 and $3,420 resistance levels. The bulls pushed the price above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,920 swing high to the $3,058 low. The upward move was such that the price spiked to test the key hurdle at $3,650. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $3,520 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading above $3,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the $3,650 level. The next key resistance is near the $3,710 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,920 swing high to the $3,058 low. The first major resistance is near the $3,740 level. A clear move above the $3,740 resistance might send the price toward the $3,880 resistance. An upside break above the $3,880 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,920 resistance zone or even $3,950 in the near term. Another Pullback In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,650 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,540 level or the trend line. The first major support sits near the $3,485 zone. A clear move below the $3,485 support might push the price toward the $3,360 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,260 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,200 and $3,180. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is losing momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone.

Ethereum is once again knocking on a major resistance level, sparking fresh excitement across the market. After a steady climb, ETH now faces a crucial test near the $3,700 mark, a zone that could determine whether bulls reclaim control or if another pullback is on the horizon Ethereum’s Uptrend On The Line — Will Buyers Step In? According to Crypto King, a well-known crypto analyst, ETH has reached a crucial point on the daily chart that could determine its next major move. The analyst noted that ETH’s price action is currently hovering around a key level, making this moment critical to track the broader market structure. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Surge To $5,500: What To Watch Out For To Mark The Bottom In the post, Crypto King pointed out that the main uptrend line has been tested once again. The outcome of this test, the expert explained, will set the tone for Ethereum’s next direction, either confirming a bullish continuation or signaling the beginning of a deeper correction. Should the bulls manage to reclaim the trendline and drive the price above $4,950, Crypto King believes this could open the door for a strong move toward $5,600. Such a breakout would reaffirm the ongoing bullish trend and could attract renewed market interest. However, the analyst cautioned that failure to hold this key level may invite selling pressure, triggering a drop toward the $2,000 zone and invalidating the broader uptrend that has supported ETH in recent months. Crypto King concluded by reminding traders to stay calm and let the chart speak, emphasizing patience over panic. In volatile conditions like these, the market often rewards those who wait for clear confirmations rather than reacting impulsively to every move. Price Facing Critical Resistance At The $3,700 Mark In a more recent update from Ted Pillows, a crypto analyst, highlighted that ETH is now approaching the key $3,700 resistance level that is crucial for its next short-term direction. The market has shown renewed strength in recent sessions, but all eyes are now on how ETH reacts around this critical zone. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Could Crash Below $3,400 After Rejection From 0.618 Fibonacci Level According to Ted, if Ethereum closes a daily candle above $3,700, it could trigger a fresh wave of bullish momentum, potentially pushing the price toward $4,000. Such a breakout would likely signal that buyers are regaining control and could pave the way for further upside in the days ahead. However, Ted also warned that if ETH fails to break through resistance, a rejection could bring its price to the $3,400 support zone. This would indicate that bears are still defending the upper levels, keeping the price trapped within its current range. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum is showing renewed strength after days of intense selling pressure and widespread uncertainty across the crypto market. Following a sharp drop below the $3,300 level, bulls are now attempting to reclaim $3,600, with the next major objective set at $4,000 — a level that could confirm a shift in market momentum if conquered. Related Reading: SharpLink Gaming Wallet Moves Freshly Redeemed Ethereum to OKX – Details Amid this recovery effort, key on-chain data highlights a surprising move from one of the market’s most closely watched traders — the so-called Anti-CZ Whale. This investor gained notoriety for shorting ASTER shortly after Changpeng Zhao (CZ) — the former CEO of Binance and one of the most influential figures in crypto — publicly mentioned buying it. The whale’s timely short turned out to be highly profitable, reinforcing their reputation as a contrarian yet precise market player. Now, this same whale has flipped bullish on Ethereum, opening a significant long position after having shorted ETH last week. The move signals growing confidence in Ethereum’s recovery potential and could hint at an upcoming market reversal. As sentiment begins to stabilize and liquidity rotates back into major altcoins, Ethereum’s price action in the coming days will be crucial in determining whether this bounce evolves into a sustained uptrend. The Anti-CZ Whale Flips Bullish on Ethereum According to new on-chain data shared by Lookonchain, the trader known as the Anti-CZ Whale has once again demonstrated his sharp market timing. After shorting Ethereum (ETH) during last week’s market correction, the whale has now flipped bullish — taking a major long position that reflects growing confidence in the asset’s recovery. The data reveals that the whale currently holds 32,802 ETH, valued at roughly $119.6 million, with more than $15 million in unrealized profit so far. This strategic pivot came shortly after Ethereum’s rebound from its recent lows near $3,200, suggesting that the trader anticipated a relief rally as selling pressure began to ease. What makes this move even more significant is that the Anti-CZ Whale is still maintaining profitable short positions in other assets — notably ASTER and PEPE. This indicates a selective, tactical approach rather than a broad market shift. His ETH long aligns with improving sentiment around Ethereum, while the other shorts suggest caution toward more speculative altcoins. Historically, the Anti-CZ Whale has earned a reputation for trading against major narratives — including his successful short on ASTER after Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance’s former CEO, tweeted about buying the token. His latest move toward ETH could therefore signal that smart money is beginning to rotate back into high-conviction assets. Related Reading: Cardano Whales Trim Positions – 4M ADA Sold in 7 Days ETH Price Analysis — Signs of a Short-Term Recovery Ethereum’s price action on the 4-hour chart shows a notable recovery following last week’s sharp decline. After dipping below $3,300, ETH found strong buying interest and has since rebounded toward the $3,600 region — a key short-term resistance level. This rebound coincides with increased trading volume, suggesting renewed confidence among bulls after several days of panic-driven selling. The structure now shows early signs of a potential trend reversal, as Ethereum has formed a short-term higher low pattern, with buyers defending the $3,350–$3,400 support zone. If momentum continues, the next target for bulls lies near $3,800, where previous breakdowns occurred. A clear break and close above that level would confirm a bullish continuation toward the $4,000 mark.

Ethereum has reclaimed key price levels after a volatile weekend, emerging as one of the strongest performers in the ongoing market rebound. As Bitcoin stabilizes near $100K, altcoins are gaining momentum, with ETH once again leading the charge. The recovery comes amid renewed optimism across the crypto sector, as traders and investors position for potential upside following weeks of correction and fear-driven selling. Related Reading: SharpLink Gaming Wallet Moves Freshly Redeemed Ethereum to OKX – Details According to a CryptoQuant report by analyst Darkfost, Ethereum trading volume has reached record highs on Binance, highlighting the speculative nature of the current market. The report notes that speculation now plays a much larger role than in previous cycles, with trading activity at unprecedented levels. In contrast to past bullish phases — when spot market activity dominated and provided a healthier foundation for growth — today’s rally appears heavily fueled by leverage and short-term speculation. This shift has made the market more volatile and less stable, even as prices recover. Speculation Dominates as Ethereum Trading Activity Hits Unprecedented Levels According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, the Ethereum market is now driven by speculation more than ever before, as traders pursue quick returns rather than sustainable growth. This shift in behavior has created a far less stable trading environment, with volatility and leverage increasingly shaping price action. Data shows that across centralized exchanges (CeX), both trading volumes and open interest have reached historic highs. On Binance, Ethereum trading volumes have already surpassed $6 trillion in 2025, roughly two to three times higher than in previous years. Other major exchanges show similar patterns, but Binance continues to dominate market activity by a wide margin, underscoring its position as the primary venue for speculative ETH trading. Open interest levels also tell a striking story. In August 2025, ETH open interest exceeded $12.5 billion on Binance — a staggering fivefold increase compared to the previous all-time high of $2.5 billion in November 2021. This explosion in leveraged positions highlights the extent to which Ethereum trading has evolved into a highly speculative environment dominated by short-term positioning. Altogether, these trends reveal a market structure increasingly reliant on derivatives rather than spot buying. As Darkfost notes, this cycle’s speculative intensity makes Ethereum’s price dynamics far more fragile and reactive, explaining the frequent sharp swings and heightened sensitivity to liquidity shifts that now define the ETH market.

The rebound follows a strong reaction from buyers after multiple days of heavy selling pressure, hinting at renewed confidence in the market. From a technical perspective, ETH’s recent bounce suggests that short-term momentum may be shifting back toward the bulls. The daily chart shows a clear structure of higher lows forming, but Ethereum still faces immediate resistance near the $3,650–$3,700 zone, which aligns with the previous consolidation area before the breakdown. A decisive close above this level could open the door for a move toward $3,850–$3,900, while failure to break higher may signal continued consolidation. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Accumulate Aggressively: 394K ETH Worth $1.37B In Just 3 Days Volume analysis also shows that the recent bounce was accompanied by increased buying activity, reinforcing that the $3,200 region acted as a strong demand zone.

The crypto industry is approaching a major milestone as the market anticipates the potential approval of an XRP Spot ETF in the United States (US). Analysts suggest that recent developments regarding the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) review could deliver the final nail in the coffin for XRP. With ETF filings still awaiting approval, the market is watching closely, as a green light could pave the way to greater mainstream adoption and institutional investment in XRP. XRP ETF To Become Game-Changer For The Market Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management and co-founder of The ETF Institute, recently stated on X social media that the first Spot XRP ETF could launch within the next two weeks. He described this event as the “final nail in the coffin” for the previous wave of anti-crypto regulators. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Decouple From Bitcoin, Here’s What Would Happen Notably, the US SEC had been involved in litigation against Ripple for five years, which concluded about three months ago. Geraci believes that the approval of a Spot XRP ETF represents a significant step forward for not only XRP but also the broader cryptocurrency industry. The temporary delay caused by the US government shutdown, which started in October, has pushed back XRP ETF approvals. However, new reports of bipartisan efforts to reopen government operations have reignited expectations of an ETF. Geraci pointed out in a subsequent X post that the end of the government shutdown could unleash a wave of crypto ETF launches, with a 33 Act spot XRP ETF likely coming this week. Recently, the US Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) listed nine new Spot XRP ETFs on its platform, increasing expectations of a launch this November. The list includes XRP ETFs from top asset managers such as Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, Volatility Shares, CoinShares, T-Rex Osprey, 21Shares, and many others. ETF Filing Amendment Brings Launch Closer Than Ever Further evidence that an XRP ETF may be imminent comes from recent filing updates by leading issuers. Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, reported that 21Shares has submitted an 8(a) form with the US SEC on November 7 for its spot XRP ETF. The new changes in the filing officially activate a 20-day countdown for the approval and launch of an XRP ETF by November 27. Related Reading: Rare Chart Formation That Led To An 87% XRP Price Crash Has Resurfaced Crypto commentator John Squire also noted that if the US SEC does not take action within the allotted period, the approval would automatically proceed. Similarly, multiple issuers, including Canary Capital, have also withdrawn “delaying amendments,” triggering the same 20-day automatic approval countdown. Notably, these filings suggest that the market is moving closer to a regulatory green light for XRP ETFs. Amid recent developments, Squire has pointed out that the US has never been this close to fully approving an XRP ETF. Should the SEC give its authorization, it could significantly transform trading volume, liquidity, and institutional participation in the market. It would also expand the current major ETF offerings beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
The cryptosphere is keeping a close eye on Ethereum (ETH), as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap demonstrates resilience amid market shakes. Related Reading: MEXC Users At Risk Of Losing Their Crypto? Ex-Public Advisor Exposes ‘Structural Rot’ While spot ETF outflows are causing concern in some quarters, underlying network fundamentals and technical charts are painting a cautiously optimistic picture, with analysts pointing to a potential move toward the $4,400 mark. Ethereum ETF Outflows and Institutional Sentiment Despite ETH’s recent price recovery, institutional sentiment appears to be on firmer ground even as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to Ethereum record sizeable outflows. Data show that Ethereum spot ETFs suffered a net outflow of approximately $508 million over the week, marking one of the largest weekly withdrawals in their history. This mirrors a broader shift in investor behaviour: while traditional crypto-fund inflows have tapered, margins of institutional conviction remain steady. On the one hand, redemptions suggest a short-term cooling of enthusiasm for ETH amongst ETF investors. On the other hand, this rotation may reflect a more strategic recalibration rather than a wholesale withdrawal of institutional capital. ETH's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview Strong ETH Price Support and Technical Setup From a price-action standpoint, Ethereum shows signs of stabilisation. After a sharp weekly drop of around 12 %, the asset has rebounded above the $3,400 level. Analysts have identified key resistance near $3,720, with breakout targets in sight at approximately $4,400 and a further extension toward $4,955. Key technical highlights include: Holding the $3,200–$3,350 liquidity zone as support before the rebound. The break of a bearish trend line near $3,350, alongside clearing the 50 % Fibonacci retracement of the recent decline. Momentum indicators, such as MACD and RSI, are entering bullish territory, suggesting that the upside could be favored if resistance levels are conquered. Network Fundamentals and Catalysts Beyond price movements, Ethereum’s on-chain fundamentals offer reason for optimism. While some metrics are cooling, the total value locked (TVL) in the network has fallen by roughly 24% in the past 30 days to around $74.2 billion. On the flip side, Ethereum’s revenue from applications hit record levels as recently as mid-October, driven by stable-coin activity and increasing usage of the network’s “economic machine.” A key upcoming catalyst is the planned “Fusaka” upgrade, scheduled for early December, which is expected to enhance scalability and security in the Ethereum network, potentially boosting long-term value drivers.

The following article is adapted from The Block’s newsletter, The Daily, which comes out on weekday afternoons.
The Bitcoin price, which had been climbing steadily toward new all-time highs, suddenly plunged on October 10, dragging the Ethereum price and the rest of the market with it. According to the latest Binance Research monthly market insights, the crash wasn’t due to weak crypto fundamentals or a loss of investor interest, but to an abrupt flush-out of excessive risky positions following geopolitical shocks and macroeconomic uncertainty. Why The Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Collapsed Binance Research reports that the October 10 crash occurred as traders sold more than $19 billion in high-risk positions, marking one of the most significant single-day sell-offs in recent crypto history. The drop began soon after US President Trump announced new tariffs on China, which raised trade tensions and sent risk markets into a tailspin. Related Reading: Here’s Why JPMorgan Analysts Are Still Bullish On The Bitcoin Price After Crashing Below $100,000 Bitcoin’s intraday price swings spiked to levels rarely seen, with a Z-score of 3.08, meaning such extreme moves statistically occur only once every 1,000 days. Binance Research notes that the sudden sell-off of high-risk positions pushed Bitcoin down around 4%, while Ethereum fell 8.6%, marking the market’s first negative October since 2018. The macro environment intensified the sell-off. A US government shutdown and a Federal Reserve rate cut in early October, when the Fed trimmed interest rates by 25 basis points but signaled a possible pause for further cuts, had already shaken investor confidence. With economic data flow disrupted and rate policy uncertain, traders sought safety and closed risky positions. Binance notes that overall crypto market capitalization fell 6.1%, indicating a coordinated pullback from high-risk exposure. Will History Repeat Itself Again? Despite the sharp drop, the market recovered quickly. According to Binance Research, total borrowed and high-risk positions, which briefly fell below 5%, rebounded to 5.77% by October 31, marking a 10% recovery and suggesting that traders remain confident in taking risks. Related Reading: New XRP ETF Just Dropped, But Will Anything Be Different This Time? Bitcoin’s market share rose to 59.4%, indicating that investors rotated toward safer options during the market turbulence. Meanwhile, Ethereum continued to attract institutional buyers, with treasury holdings reaching 5% of total ETH supply, demonstrating sustained confidence in its ability to generate returns. Binance’s BVoL index, which tracks expected price swings in crypto options, peaked at 52, far below the year’s high of 88 in March, indicating that investors did not expect a prolonged crash in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices. The analysis highlights that the October 10 crash acted as a reset of risky positions rather than a price trend reversal. The rebound in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices highlights the market’s resilience; however, the return of high-risk positions means another sharp correction could occur if new macroeconomic shocks arise, leaving prices vulnerable to sudden swings.

Ethereum price started a recovery wave above $3,350. ETH is showing positive signs but faces hurdles near the $3,720 resistance. Ethereum started a decent upward move above $3,350 and $3,400. The price is trading above $3,500 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $3,350 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it clears the $3,720 zone. Ethereum Price Attempts Recovery Ethereum price managed to stay above $3,200 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $3,350 and $3,400 resistance levels. There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $3,350 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,920 swing high to the $3,058 low. The upward move was such that the price spiked above $3,620. Ethereum price is now trading above $3,550 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the $3,650 level.

The first major resistance is near the $3,750 level. A clear move above the $3,750 resistance might send the price toward the $3,820 resistance. An upside break above the $3,820 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,880 resistance zone or even $3,925 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,650 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,580 level. The first major support sits near the $3,500 zone. A clear move below the $3,500 support might push the price toward the $3,450 support.

Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone. Major Support Level – $3,500 Major Resistance Level – $3,650
After weeks of steady decline, Ethereum is finally showing some strength, bouncing back near the $3,460 level. But not everyone is convinced the worst is over. Prominent crypto analyst Ted warns that this sudden recovery might be a “false signal,” suggesting that Ethereum could face one more big drop before a real rebound begins.Here’s how …
Coming out of weeks of downtrend, the Ethereum price could be looking to establish the next bottom as it sets up for a campaign toward new all-time highs. This is highlighted by crypto analyst MMBTtrader, who explained that the Ethereum price crash could be coming to an end. This is evidenced by a number of formations on the Ethereum price chart that suggest where the next lift-off might begin. Ethereum Price Is Testing The Next Major Support In an analysis shared on the TradingView website, the crypto analyst explained that the Ethereum price is now testing the next crucial technical level. The importance of this level comes with a 50% retracement of the Fibonacci sequence. Thus, it means that the Ethereum price is seeing major support at this level. Related Reading: Why The Bitcoin Price Crash Is Important If Wave 5 Corrects To $94,000 This support lies just above the $3,200 level, which the Ethereum price had managed to maintain through the market crash. This puts the critical level at the 0.5 Fibonacci support, which currently serves as the next make-or-break level for the cryptocurrency. If the Ethereum price is able to bounce off from here, then it could trigger the next wave of recoveries for the cryptocurrency. Not only that, it would be the signal that the bottom is finally in and the crash is over. The analyst further explains that this could lead to “a high-probability setup for a resumption of the primary bullish trend.” Such a breakout would lead to a rather strong bullish move for the digital asset, and the target from here would be a brand new all-time high. The first target from here would be $5,500 as bulls push the price higher. “This target is derived from the magnitude of the prior uptrend and represents a key resistance zone on the higher timeframes,” the analyst explained. The Bearish Side Of The Coin The 0.5 Fibonacci level, as explained above, is a make-or-break level. This means that whichever direction the Ethereum price takes after hitting this level could determine where the cryptocurrency is headed next. With the bullish side already explored, there is still the possibility that Ethereum fails to establish support and a bottom.

In the event of the Ethereum price actually breaking below this crucial level, then it would confirm the bearish pressure that has plagued the market. The analyst highlights on the chart that if the support breaks, then Ethereum could dump further below $3,000, with the major support lying just above $2,400. Such a decline would mean an over 30% crash for Ethereum, on top of the already struggling price. Therefore, it is imperative that bulls hold above $3,200 to prevent further decline.
