THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Ethereum (ETH) is back in the spotlight after Fidelity clients purchased roughly 36,460 ETH ($154.6 million), signaling renewed institutional demand even as spot ETH ETFs logged heavy redemptions. Related Reading: Why This Resistance Could Trigger Another XRP Price Crash Soon Before stabilizing around $4,100, the second-largest cryptocurrency briefly dipped below $4,000 this week, but several analysts argue the pullback places ETH in a key “buy zone” ahead of a potential push toward new highs. ETH's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview   Fidelity Steps In as ETFs See Redemptions Fidelity’s reported buy spotlights a growing trend as traditional finance is steadily increasing exposure to Ethereum’s smart-contract ecosystem, staking yields, and tokenization upside. The move contrasts with the latest ETF flow picture, where spot ETH products saw about $428 million in outflows in a single day, led by $310 million from BlackRock’s fund. While redemptions weighed on price near term, primary-market creations like Fidelity’s purchase can tighten available supply and stabilize spot liquidity. Outflows and Liquidations Test Nerves Macro jitters and tariff headlines helped trigger a sharp selloff, sending ETH down 6.5% on Oct. 14 and sparking $145 million in liquidations in 24 hours, per derivatives trackers. That forced unwinding pushed price through the $4,000 handle, but technicians note ETH is retesting prior resistance-turned-support and still carving a bullish flag structure on higher time frames. Popular trader Michael van de Poppe argues ETH likely just needs a higher low to reassert momentum, eyeing a recovery toward $5,000 first and then $6,250 if buyers reclaim control. Ethereum Price Outlook: Key Levels to Watch Near term, bulls want to see an Ethereum price balance back above $4,000–$4,211, followed by a decisive break of the $5,000 psychological level to unlock the $6,250 target many chartists flag via tools like Murrey Math and measured-move projections. On the downside, traders are watching $3,626 as interim support; a daily close below $3,425 would dent the bullish structure and argue for deeper consolidation. Despite headline outflows, the Fidelity inflow highlights sticky institutional interest in Ethereum’s role across DeFi, NFTs, and real-world asset tokenization, plus the structural tailwind from staking yields.

After beginning the week above the critical $115,000 mark, Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader cryptocurrency market initially showed signs of recovery. However, BTC has resumed its downward trajectory, experiencing a 4% decline over the past 24 hours. This downturn has had a cascading effect on other altcoins, particularly Ethereum (ETH) and XRP. BTC, ETH, XRP’s Plunge Explained With the Bitcoin drop, Ethereum recorded a 5% drop, once again losing the pivotal $4,000 support level, while XRP has suffered even greater losses, plummeting by 7% during the same timeframe. This decline has pushed XRP closer to $2.40 as of Tuesday, highlighting the volatility affecting altcoins in the current market environment. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Vs Binance: Founders Clash Over Liquidation Transparency According to Bloomberg, this recent Bitcoin and crypto slide can be attributed to geopolitical tensions, specifically China’s imposition of restrictions on the American units of Hanwha Ocean Co., one of South Korea’s largest shipbuilders.  This action is seen as a retaliatory measure against US sanctions targeting the Chinese shipping sector. Bitcoin and the crypto market were already reeling from a brutal selloff that began on October 10, which resulted in approximately $19 billion worth of leveraged positions being liquidated.  This selloff, which saw the Bitcoin price drop toward $102,000 last Friday, was triggered by US President Donald Trump’s threats of increased tariffs on China in response to new export controls. Three Scenarios For Bitcoin Market analysts are closely monitoring Bitcoin’s performance, noting that a drop below the $110,000 threshold could initiate a test of the $104,000 to $108,000 liquidity band, according to Timothy Misir, head of research at digital-assets analytics platform BRN.  “The market now enters a consolidation phase, characterized by renewed caution, selective risk-taking, and a more measured rebuilding of confidence across both spot and derivatives markets,” commented analytics firm Glassnode. Furthermore, market expert Doctor Profit has outlined three potential scenarios for Bitcoin’s trajectory over the short, mid, and long term on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).  Related Reading: Dogecoin Foundation’s House Of Doge Announces NASDAQ Listing In the short term, covering the current month, the Bitcoin outlook is neutral. Although a slightly bullish sentiment was noted yesterday, it has reverted to neutral as new data emerges, emphasizing the need for more information to make a conclusive decision.   For the mid-term outlook, spanning one to three months, the sentiment is bearish. The expert indicates that the market has recently entered the early stages of a bear phase. While there may be instances of dead cat bounces, he suggests that the overall direction for the mid-term appears to be downward. Looking further ahead, in the long term (three to twelve months), the analysis remains extremely bearish for Bitcoin and crypto as the macroeconomic environment indicates an impending global economic upheaval, which many believe is closer than it appears.  When writing, Bitcoin trades just above its key support for the short-term at $110,300.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Ethereum appears to be entering a pivotal phase as the market stabilizes around a key support level near $3,800. After a period of correction, technical indicators, structural signals, and price action now suggest the potential for a renewed bullish move.  Ethereum Slips Below Key $4,060 Support Ted, in a recent update shared on X, pointed out that Ethereum has slipped below its crucial $4,060 support level, a move that may hint at a short-term bearish phase for the asset. This breakdown has drawn traders’ attention to lower support regions, as Ethereum’s next moves will likely determine whether the market stabilizes or faces further pressure. Related Reading: Analyst Says Ethereum Price Might Have Reached ‘Wave 4’ Bottom — Path To $5,000? According to Ted, the next major support sits around $3,800, a level that has recently served as a strong demand zone. If Ethereum fails to defend this region, it could open the door for a deeper correction toward the $3,400–$3,600 range, where a stronger accumulation phase might form. Such a decline would likely shake out weak hands and allow for a more sustainable base to build upon for the next major move. However, Ted also noted a possible bullish scenario where Ethereum could reclaim the $4,060 and $4,250 levels. A successful recovery above these zones could confirm that the recent drop was merely a correction within a larger bullish structure, potentially paving the way for a powerful rally as the market regains confidence. Bullish Structure Confirmed As ETH Holds Key Demand Zone According to Nadezhada on X, Ethereum’s chart is looking increasingly bullish, showing signs of strength after recent market movements. The analyst noted that a Break of Structure (BOS) has been confirmed, signaling that Ethereum may be preparing for its next significant upward move. Related Reading: Ethereum Turns Bullish After Multi-Year Breakout — $7,000 May Be Imminent Nadezhada highlighted a key demand zone between $3,910 and $3,800, which aligns with both a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and an Order Block (OB) on the chart. This area represents a strong region of buyer interest, where liquidity could build up. Thus, maintaining stability within this zone may set the foundation for the next rally. If Ethereum manages to hold the $3,910–$3,800 support area, Nadezhada believes it could act as a springboard for a sharp move toward $4,550 and beyond. Such a rebound would mark a strong continuation of the broader uptrend, with buyers firmly back in control. The crypto analyst concluded by emphasizing that buyers appear to be positioning for the next leg higher, as technical signals continue to align in their favor. With structure, demand, and sentiment converging, Ethereum seems ready to attempt another breakout if market conditions remain supportive. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum is showing early signs of recovery after a dramatic sell-off on Friday that sent prices plunging to $3,450. The drop came amid what analysts describe as the largest liquidation event in crypto market history, wiping out billions in leveraged positions across major exchanges. While bulls briefly lost control during the panic, ETH has since begun to stabilize, with renewed buying interest emerging near key demand zones. Related Reading: Bitmine Receives 23,823 Ethereum From BitGo As Institutional Accumulation Continues Onchain analyst Maartunn highlighted that leverage is once again building up on Ethereum, signaling that traders are returning to the market following the reset. According to his data, open interest on ETH surged significantly over the past 24 hours — a sign that speculative activity is resuming as volatility cools. This renewed leverage could set the stage for another decisive move, either fueling a short-term relief rally or inviting further liquidations if momentum fades. The coming days will be crucial for Ethereum, as bulls attempt to reclaim the $4,000 level to confirm a sustainable recovery. Market sentiment remains cautious but optimistic, with onchain data showing large holders and institutions continuing to accumulate ETH despite recent turbulence — a potential signal of long-term confidence in the asset’s resilience. Leverage Returns to Ethereum: A Risky Revival In Market Activity According to Maartunn, Ethereum’s Open Interest has surged by +8.2% within the past 24 hours — a clear sign that leverage is flowing back into the market. This rapid rise comes just days after the largest liquidation event in crypto history, where overleveraged traders were wiped out during the sudden crash. Now, it seems many are trying to “trade their money back,” reigniting short-term volatility and speculation across exchanges. Maartunn notes that while these so-called “revenge pumps” often create strong intraday rallies, they rarely sustain long-term momentum. Historically, around 75% of similar leverage-driven recoveries tend to revert, leading to renewed pullbacks once liquidity and funding rates normalize. Only about 25% manage to extend into lasting uptrends, typically when supported by fresh spot buying or renewed institutional inflows. This data underscores the precarious balance Ethereum currently faces. The jump in Open Interest signals revived market participation, but also introduces the risk of another wave of forced liquidations if traders overextend their positions. For now, ETH’s short-term recovery remains largely fueled by derivatives activity rather than spot demand. The next few days will be pivotal in determining Ethereum’s direction. If price holds above the $4,000 region with sustained volume, it could confirm that bulls are regaining control. However, a sudden drop in Open Interest or sharp funding spikes could signal that the rally is overextended — setting the stage for another correction.

The daily chart shows that ETH quickly rebounded from the 200-day moving average (red line), confirming it as a major area of demand. Price is now consolidating near $4,150, attempting to build momentum after a strong bullish candle on high volume — a potential sign that buyers are regaining control. However, ETH faces immediate resistance near the $4,250–$4,300 zone, which coincides with the 50-day moving average (blue line). This area previously acted as strong support, and reclaiming it would be essential for confirming a shift back into bullish structure. The 100-day moving average (green line) is now flattening, reflecting the market’s cautious sentiment following the massive liquidation event. Related Reading: Solana Network Activity Drops 50%: Is The Rally Built On Weak Fundamentals? If bulls manage to sustain price action above $4,000, the next targets lie near $4,500 and eventually $4,750. Conversely, failure to hold the 200-day MA could open the door to a deeper retest of $3,600 or lower. For now, Ethereum’s recovery remains technically constructive, but it must overcome these resistance levels to confirm that the recent rebound is more than just a short-term reaction to oversold conditions.

The biggest crypto market crash came and went over the weekend, but the effects still linger on. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and nearly every major digital asset suffered price crashes, and what began as a panic over former US President Donald Trump’s surprise 100% tariff announcement on Chinese tech exports soon spiraled into over $19 billion wiped from the crypto market.  In the aftermath, some analysts and commentators began piecing together what might have really happened, and many now believe that the crash was not natural but a meticulously coordinated event. The Crash Was Too Synchronized To Be A Coincidence Crypto commentator Ran Neuner was one of the first to argue that the weekend collapse appeared far too orchestrated to be random. In a post on the social media platform X, Reuner pointed out that the sell-off began immediately after US markets closed late on Friday, at a moment when both European and Asian trading desks were asleep.  Related Reading: Crypto Crash: $19.5 Billion Wiped Out In Record-Breaking Liquidation Event At the same time, several major oracles began showing inconsistent price data, liquidity across exchanges evaporated, and many users reported being unable to access trading platforms to buy the dip or close positions. Furthermore, crypto data platforms like CoinGecko were either offline or displaying incorrect information, so users had no data about the crash. According to Neuner’s assessment, this was not a string of isolated glitches but a chain reaction of failures happening simultaneously across the ecosystem. This looked like some players had pulled the right levers at exactly the right time, and the crash “was a highly coordinated and well executed attack.” Binance’s Collateral System Was Exploited? Another theory that has gained traction came from a commentator known as ElonTrades, who proposed that the crash was caused by an exploitation of a weakness within Binance’s internal pricing mechanism. His analysis suggests that the event wasn’t a spontaneous panic but a calculated attack that used Binance’s own systems against itself, with the shock of Trump’s tariff announcement serving as the perfect cover. Related Reading: Institutions Dump Massive Amounts Of Bitcoin And Ethereum As XRP And Solana Buying Ramps Up According to ElonTrades, Binance’s Unified Account system, which allows traders to use multiple assets as collateral for leveraged positions, had been operating with a significant vulnerability. Instead of relying on external oracle feeds or stable redemption values to mark collateral, the exchange used its own order-book prices. This meant that if someone could manipulate the price of a collateral asset within Binance, they could instantly devalue billions of dollars in margin accounts. Binance had already announced plans to move to oracle-based pricing, but the rollout wasn’t until October 8. Some traders began dumping $60million to $90 million of USDe and other tokens like wBETH and BNSOL on Binance to force their internal prices down, even though those same assets maintained normal value elsewhere. The artificial plunge in price caused the platform’s margin system to view thousands of leveraged accounts as under-collateralized and caused automatic liquidations. That localized depeg triggered between $500 million and $1 billion in forced liquidations. At the same time, these actors opened $1.1 billion in BTC/ETH shorts on Hyperliquid to take advantage of the depeg, which eventually netted $192 million in profit. Just as the forced liquidations began, Trump’s 100% tariff announcement hit global headlines, adding panic and confusion to the mix. Within hours, the liquidation chain had spread to other exchanges. Regardless of the reason behind the crash, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are starting to recover. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $115,025, up by 2.85 in the past 24 hours. Ethereum is trading at $4,160, up by 8.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum started a recovery wave above the $4,000 and $4,100 levels. The price is trading above $4,150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $4,100 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it trades above $4,250. Ethereum Price Starts Recovery Ethereum price started a recovery wave after a massive selloff below $3,800, like Bitcoin. ETH price formed a base and was able to recover above the $4,000 level.

Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $4,100 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading above $4,150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,200 level.

The first major resistance is near the $4,320 level. A clear move above the $4,320 resistance might send the price toward the $4,400 resistance. An upside break above the $4,400 region might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,450 resistance zone or even $4,500 in the near term.

ETH’s rebound is outpacing BTC's as markets stabilize, with high-beta plays like Solana and Bittensor joining the bounce. One working theory suggests Friday’s meltdown wasn’t about stablecoin fragility — it was a structural failure on Binance.

The recent crypto market crash stunned investors across the globe, but one analyst saw it coming long before it happened. Bitcoin plunged from above $125,000 to briefly below $102,000, and Ethereum dropped to below $3,800, exactly as predicted by popular market commentator Ash Crypto earlier this month.  His October 1 post on X warned of a sharp correction meant to liquidate all the bulls before a major rebound in Q4. Now that the dip has played out exactly as he forecasted, Ash Crypto’s outlook for the coming weeks is a powerful rebound phase. Related Reading: A 5% Bitcoin Drop In October? History Shows That’s Rare The Crash Prediction That Shook ‘Uptober’ The sell-off that sent shockwaves through the industry is a quick change in sentiment after Bitcoin’s recent all-time high on October 6. Bitcoin’s decline from above $125,000 to below $110,000 caused widespread panic that flowed into other cryptocurrencies, while Ethereum followed with a sharp drop below $3,800. More than $19 billion in leveraged trades were liquidated across different exchanges in under a day, making it one of the largest wipeouts in crypto history. However, the timing of the crash aligned almost perfectly with a projection on the social media platform X by Ash Crypto. On October 1, Ash Crypto outlined what he called a “pump-then-dump setup” designed to trap overconfident bulls. In his post, he warned that early-month gains would bait retail traders into believing PUMPtober was real before the market reversed violently to shake them out. Notably, the analyst predicted that Bitcoin would dip to around $106,000 and Ethereum to $3,800 or lower before rebounding later in the month. According to him, this correction phase would run until mid-October, sometime around the 15th to 20th of October, before transitioning into a powerful recovery in the last ten days of the month. What Comes Next After The Drop? Ash Crypto’s call has proven accurate, especially against the backdrop of widespread ‘Uptober’ optimism that clouded judgment for many crypto traders. However, despite the predicted bearish move, the prediction post also carried a long-term sentiment that aligns with a bullish Uptober. He explained that once market sentiment turns overwhelmingly bearish and traders begin to assume PUMPtober is canceled, short positions will pile up. It is at this point that a reversal will begin in the final ten days of October, leading to what he described as Q4 parabolic candles. Related Reading: XRP Traders Face Fresh Selling Pressure As Large Holders Move Out Ash Crypto projected Bitcoin will reach between $150,000 and $180,000 by the end of the fourth quarter, while Ethereum will be trading anywhere in the $8,000 to $12,000 range. Following that move, he expects a full-fledged altcoin season that will cause the price of many altcoins to grow 10x to 50x in just a few months. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $114,049, and Ethereum is trading at $4,087. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The Ethereum price has struggled to mount any significant bullish pressure since hitting the all-time high of $4,946 in August. The bullish momentum of the second-largest cryptocurrency has mostly waxed and waned, reaching the $4,750 high twice in the past few weeks. After running up to this local peak on Tuesday, October 7, the Ethereum price has been on a steady descent in recent days. This bearish pressure intensified on the close of the week, with the ETH price falling towards $3,700 due to United States President Donald Trump’s tariff imposition on China.  Interestingly, a recent technical outlook still points to a possible journey to the $5,000 mark for the altcoin. Major Technical Resistance Levels To Watch In a new post on the X platform, pseudonymous crypto analyst Darkfost revealed that the Ethereum price might be looking to enter a new phase—that could see it touch $5,000— over the coming weeks. According to the analyst, the altcoin’s value might have reached a bottom of its current phase (wave 4) after the Trump Tariff-induced market downturn. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Taps IMB Zone – What This Means And Where The Price Is Headed Darkfost highlighted that the price of Ethereum found support at the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) around the $3,500 level on the daily timeframe. This exact region had once been identified as an attractive Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) entry area, the analyst added. Furthermore, Darkfost emphasized the strong bearish sentiment across the market, as shown by the relative strength index dropping below the 50 threshold. However, the crypto pundit believes that investors can watch for a positive reaction and whether the bullish momentum can kickstart the “wave 5,” despite the potential resistance at the 50 RSI mark. Darkfost also noted that the 21-day and 50-day EMAs will act as a significant resistance zone for the Ethereum price around the $4,250 zone on the daily timeframe. Evaluating the position of these exponential moving averages aligns perfectly with ETH’s potential RSI recovery above the 50-mark threshold. According to the crypto analyst, the Ethereum price could finally make its way to the widely anticipated $5,000 level if it manages to overcome these significant barriers.  Ethereum Price Overview According to data from CoinGecko, the price of ETH is currently adrift the all-time high of $4,946 (attained about 2 months ago) by more than 24%. This gives a picture of the journey the second-largest cryptocurrency would need to travel to reach the highly coveted $5,000 level. As of this writing, the price of Ethereum stands around $3,741, reflecting an over 4% decline in the past 24 hours. The altcoin’s record is even worse on the weekly timeframe, having lost more than 16% of its value in the last seven days.

According to CRYPTOWZRD in a recent post, both Ethereum and ETH/BTC closed the session on a bearish note but quickly recovered, showcasing ETH’s resilience and renewed buyer confidence. He noted that a move above $4,000 would be a crucial development, potentially marking a key turning point for Ethereum’s momentum. Bearish Daily Close Mirrors Bitcoin’s Market Direction CRYPTOWZRD further explained that Ethereum and ETH/BTC’s daily candle bearish close followed Bitcoin’s lead. Despite the negative close, Ethereum displayed relative strength compared to most other cryptocurrencies, maintaining a more resilient structure amid the decline. This reflects the asset’s continued dominance in the altcoin market. Related Reading: Ethereum Turns Bullish After Multi-Year Breakout — $7,000 May Be Imminent He noted that ETH/BTC has now reached its key support target zone. The market’s behavior around this level will be crucial in determining whether Ethereum is preparing for a rebound or remains at risk of deeper consolidation. A recovery toward $4,170 remains possible if Ethereum can hold this support region and sustain its current stability.  The analyst highlighted that a move back above $4,000 would serve as an encouraging signal, validating a successful retest of the lower support area. Such a move could reignite bullish sentiment and set the stage for renewed upside momentum in the short to mid-term. However, CRYPTOWZRD cautioned that Bitcoin’s price movement will continue to dictate the broader market trend.  Heading into the weekend, the analyst acknowledged that the market remains unpredictable, with both bullish and bearish scenarios still in play. His current focus, he stated, will remain on monitoring lower time frame chart formations to identify potential scalp opportunities.  Extreme Volatility Hits As Market Faces Major Liquidation Event In his conclusion, CRYPTOWZRD noted that the intraday chart for Ethereum showed extreme volatility as the market experienced one of the most intense liquidation events in its history. Despite the turbulence, he emphasized that reclaiming the $4,000 level places Ethereum back in positive territory. Related Reading: Ethereum Faces TD Sell Signal At Key Resistance—$4,100 Next? He explained that a retest of the $4,260 intraday resistance could serve as a key turning point in the short term. This zone will be crucial in determining whether Ethereum can sustain its recovery or faces renewed downward pressure. If price action shows weakness after testing this level, it may open the door for short opportunities as momentum begins to fade.  CRYPTOWZRD added that he remains open to both bullish and bearish scenarios, acknowledging that weekend trading often brings slower volatility and unpredictable market behavior. With that in mind, he stated that he will continue to monitor price movements, waiting for the next clear trade setup to emerge before making any decisive moves.

The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices are crashing today, sparking bearish sentiment in the crypto market. This followed the U.S. President Donald Trump’s move, which has ignited fears of a full-blown trade war with China.  Why The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin Prices Are Crashing The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices are down today, according to CoinMarketCap data. The flagship crypto has dropped to as low as $104,000 over the last 24 hours, wiping out its early October gains that led to a new all-time high (ATH) above $126,000. Ethereum dropped to as low as $3,400, while Dogecoin broke below the psychological $0.2 level and fell to $0.11.  Related Reading: Institutions Dump Massive Amounts Of Bitcoin And Ethereum As XRP And Solana Buying Ramps Up This massive crash in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin followed Trump’s Truth Social post, in which he announced that the U.S. will impose a 100% tariff on China, over and above any tariffs they are currently paying, starting on November 1. He added that they will also impose Export Controls on any and all crucial software from China starting on November 1.  Notably, Trump had earlier in the day threatened to massively increase tariffs on China, while stating that the country was becoming hostile. This initial threat caused Bitcoin to sharply drop below $120,000 from a high of around $122,000. Meanwhile, the Ethereum and Dogecoin prices also faced sharp declines.  Bitcoin was trading around $116,000 when Trump announced a 100% tariff on China, which sent the crypto market into a spiral. BTC’s further decline also pushed Ethereum and Dogecoin to intraday lows of $3,400 and $0.11, respectively, extending their market losses. Meanwhile, these massive declines for the crypto assets contributed to the largest liquidation event in crypto’s history.  CoinGlass data shows that $20 billion has been wiped out from the crypto market in the last 24 hours, driven by crashes in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices. This liquidation event was larger than the COVID-19 crash and the FTX bankruptcy crash.  Exchanges May Have Contributed To The Crash BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes suggested that crypto exchanges may have contributed to the crash in the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices. In an X post, he stated that the word on the street is that big CEX’s auto liquidation of collateral ties to cross-margined positions is why many altcoins “got smoked on the move down.” He congratulated those who bought the dip, stating that market participants are unlikely to see those levels again anytime soon on many high-quality altcoins.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Short-Term Prediction: Why The Price Will Cross $140,000 By The End Of October Crypto analyst Kevin Capital opined that the drop in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices was caused by serious issues across top exchanges like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Binance. He added that what makes it even worse is that these exchanges didn’t let people buy the dip at the lowest point. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Trump’s 100% tariff warning on China ignited a global sell-off that wiped out $16 billion in leveraged crypto longs and pushed Ethena’s USDe to a rare sub-$1 print.

Ethereum is trading at critical price levels after a sharp 10% decline from the $4,750 mark, reflecting growing uncertainty across the broader crypto market. The recent correction has pushed ETH toward the $4,300 support zone, a level that bulls are now fiercely defending to prevent a deeper retracement. Despite the pullback, on-chain data suggests that large holders remain confident, signaling that this dip may be part of a healthy market reset rather than the start of a downtrend. Related Reading: Solana Network Activity Drops 50%: Is The Rally Built On Weak Fundamentals? According to recent data, Bitmine continues its aggressive accumulation of ETH, adding to its holdings even as prices fluctuate. This steady inflow from institutional players highlights strong conviction in Ethereum’s long-term fundamentals, particularly as the network maintains dominance in DeFi and smart contract activity. Still, sentiment among retail traders remains mixed. Some fear that sustained weakness below $4,300 could trigger another wave of selling pressure, while others see this as a potential accumulation opportunity before the next major move. As Ethereum stabilizes at these levels, the coming days will be crucial to determine whether the market resumes its bullish momentum or enters a prolonged consolidation phase amid heightened volatility. Ethereum Accumulation Continues As Bitmine Strengthens Its Position According to data shared by Lookonchain, institutional accumulation around Ethereum remains strong despite recent market volatility. Just a few hours ago, Bitmine received another 23,823 ETH (worth $103.68 million) from BitGo, marking yet another significant inflow of capital. This move comes only two days after Bitmine acquired 20,020 ETH ($89.7 million) via FalconX, underscoring their consistent strategy of building exposure during price dips rather than chasing rallies. Such accumulation patterns are often seen as a sign of confidence in Ethereum’s long-term fundamentals, particularly from institutional investors who view ETH as a core asset within the broader digital economy. While short-term sentiment remains cautious after the recent correction, these inflows suggest that smart money continues to see value around current prices. The coming days will be critical for Ethereum’s technical structure. Bulls must defend the $4,300 support zone to maintain momentum and set up a potential recovery toward the $4,600–$4,750 resistance area. A strong defense here could pave the way for a new all-time high, confirming renewed investor confidence and establishing $4,300 as a key accumulation level. Related Reading: Grayscale Stakes 857,600 Ethereum Worth $3.83B As Institutional Confidence Grows Bulls Defend $4,300 Support Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading near $4,325, showing signs of consolidation after a 10% decline from its recent high of $4,750. The 12-hour chart reveals that ETH has fallen below the 50-day moving average (blue line), signaling short-term weakness, while the 100-day (green) and 200-day (red) moving averages are still trending upward — a sign that the broader uptrend remains intact. The $4,300 level now acts as a key support zone, with bulls attempting to establish a base and prevent further downside pressure. If this level holds, the next target would be a retest of $4,500–$4,600, where sellers are likely to reappear. However, a break below $4,250 could expose Ethereum to a deeper pullback toward the $4,000 psychological level, an area that previously served as a strong accumulation zone in late September. Related Reading: Short-Term Holder Supply Rises By 559K Bitcoin – New Buyers Flood the Market Momentum indicators suggest that selling pressure is easing, aligning with the recent on-chain data showing continued accumulation from large entities such as Bitmine.

For now, holding above $4,300 is critical — a successful defense could mark the foundation for Ethereum’s next push toward new highs. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

The cryptocurrency market, a landscape famed for its volatility and rapid innovation, operates on a rhythm dictated by the dominance of Bitcoin and the subsequent explosion of Altcoins. This pattern is proof that the market still moves to BTC’s beat, positioning it as the unseen conductor of this vast digital sector. How Bitcoin Dominance Peaks Before Altcoin Euphoria In an X post, Swissblock has mentioned that the Bitcoin and Altcoin cycle continues to indicate that the crypto market remains firmly anchored to BTC dominance. Despite the rise of narratives and market behavior, the market is now approaching the full BTC season zone, a phase where capital seeks safety and structure within BTC. Related Reading: Lower Bitcoin Dominance Reinforces Altcoin Strength — Here’s How However, this cycle has an interesting nuance that dominance isn’t surging higher as expected, but stabilizing, hinting at early signs of rotation readiness. BTC still leads the narrative, commanding attention and confidence, but the dominance curve appears to be plateauing.  If BTC can maintain its stability while altcoin impulses broaden, the market could soon evolve from a BTC-led phase into a mixed regime, a stage where altcoin leadership will begin to re-emerge. Leading full-time crypto trader and investor, Daan Crypto Trades, has also recently offered a key technical perspective on the current state of the crypto market, Bitcoin Dominance, and its implications for a potential all-time high (ATH) breakout. According to Daan’s analysis, BTC has been steadily outperforming altcoins in recent weeks, a dynamic he views as healthy and necessary for the broader market. As BTC dominance rises, capital and attention consolidate around BTC, reinforcing confidence and creating the conditions needed for a convincing break toward ATH. The analyst noted that this phase of BTC strength could extend further, potentially pushing BTC dominance as high as 60% before altcoins begin to catch up again. He believes that this dominance rally may be a bounce within a larger downtrend on the BTC dominance chart. Despite the shift, Daan maintains a balanced approach, keeping a 50/50 split portfolio between BTC and ETH altcoin spot positions, a strategy he has held for some time. Why Bitcoin Strength Still Matters While Bitcoin dominance is trending up, Koroush AK, Founder of ZCTraders, highlighted that as long as BTC’s price maintains above the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level around $119,400, altcoins won’t enter panic mode. In addition, the broader market will continue positioning for potential all-time high breakouts. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bear Trap Over? Pundit Reveals Where The Market Is At Right Now However, BTC may experience a short-term pullback toward the midpoint at around $116,000. Thus, if BTC remains resilient above current support, an extension toward $125,000 could trigger a clean breakout to new highs, reaffirming bullish market structure. Koroush also addresses the psychology behind this kind of trading approach, that a disciplined trader must always prepare for two scenarios when trading.

After an impressive rally that propelled Bitcoin (BTC) to new heights above $126,000, the cryptocurrency market is now facing a wave of uncertainty. Major cryptocurrencies, including BTC, have seen a retracement to critical support levels, leaving many investors questioning the market’s direction.  Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Projected To Skyrocket Market expert Ash Crypto recently shared insights on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that this pullback serves to liquidate bullish positions, particularly among retail investors. He predicts a potential rebound in mid-October, expressing optimism that the market will rally significantly by the end of the month. Related Reading: BNB Price Soars 600% From Bear Market Lows, Eyeing $1,980 As Next Target According to Ash Crypto, the prevailing sentiment among traders is one of fear, leading many to believe that the anticipated “PUMPTober” has been canceled. However, he argues that when market sentiment is at its most pessimistic, a substantial bounce is likely to occur, setting the stage for a parabolic rally in the fourth quarter.  The expert’s projections estimate that Bitcoin could soar to between $150,000 and $180,000, while Ethereum (ETH) might reach between $8,000 and $12,000. This surge, he contends, would ignite a genuine altcoin season, with altcoins potentially experiencing gains of 10 to 50 times their current values within a few months. Analysts Predict Explosive Altcoin Phase Supporting this bullish outlook, analysts from The Bull Theory have noted that the cryptocurrency market is on the brink of its most explosive phase for altcoins. They draw parallels to the market behavior of 2020, when altcoins experienced a significant breakout after a lengthy base-building period.  The analysts point out that the current market structure mirrors that of 2020, with a multi-year base formation and higher lows indicating that buyers are increasingly absorbing supply.  The total altcoin market cap, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum (referred to as TOTAL3), currently hovers around $1.14 trillion, just below a key resistance level of approximately $1.2 trillion. Historically, altseason has not commenced until this resistance is breached. As long as Bitcoin continues to reach new highs, liquidity tends to concentrate in BTC, leaving altcoins in the shadows.  However, once TOTAL3 breaks through its ceiling, the analysts anticipate a massive upside, potentially pushing the altcoin market cap to between $5 trillion and $7 trillion.  Related Reading: XRP Bull Run Reloaded: Analyst Says Momentum Mirrors 2017’s Explosive Rally This potential breakout is occurring alongside favorable conditions, including high Bitcoin dominance, significant inflows into Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), improving regulatory clarity, and the resumption of global liquidity injections from countries like China and Japan. The current period of consolidation, rather than indicating weakness, is seen as a necessary phase before a broader expansion. As analysts emphasize, altseason does not begin arbitrarily; it commences when TOTAL3 decisively breaks out of its resistance. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Ethereum price started a fresh decline below $4,600 and $4,500. ETH is now moving lower and might extend losses below $4,250 in the short term. Ethereum started a downside correction below $4,550 and $4,500. The price is trading below $4,450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,385 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it trades below $4,250. Ethereum Price Dips Further Ethereum price failed to stay above $4,550 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below the $4,500 and $4,450 levels to enter a bearish zone. The price tested the $4,270 zone. A low was formed at $4,270 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery wave toward the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,760 swing high to the $4,270 low. However, the bears are active near the $4,380 level. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,385 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading below $4,450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,385 level and the trend line. The next key resistance is near the $4,450 level. The first major resistance is near the $4,510 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,760 swing high to the $4,270 low. A clear move above the $4,510 resistance might send the price toward the $4,570 resistance. An upside break above the $4,570 region might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,640 resistance zone or even $4,720 in the near term. More Losses In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,450 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,320 level. The first major support sits near the $4,270 zone. A clear move below the $4,270 support might push the price toward the $4,250 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $4,150 region in the near term.

Ethereum is trading at critical levels after a period of heightened volatility that has left traders and investors on edge. The price has been swinging between key resistance and support zones, reflecting a market torn between optimism for another leg higher and caution over potential short-term corrections. While sentiment remains divided, on-chain data paints a more confident picture behind the scenes. Related Reading: Short-Term Holder Supply Rises By 559K Bitcoin – New Buyers Flood the Market According to recent reports, large holders and institutions continue to accumulate ETH, reinforcing the idea that the current market uncertainty may be viewed by many as an opportunity rather than a threat. At the same time, staking activity remains consistently strong, signaling long-term conviction among Ethereum’s most committed participants. The ongoing rise in staked ETH highlights confidence in the network’s security, yield potential, and role as a foundation for decentralized finance. As Ethereum hovers near decisive price levels, the market appears to be preparing for a breakout in either direction. Whether the next move favors bulls or bears, one thing is clear — Ethereum’s fundamentals remain resilient, and the persistent accumulation by major players could serve as a powerful anchor for the next major trend once market sentiment aligns. Grayscale Stakes Ethereum: A Strong Signal Of Confidence According to Lookonchain, Grayscale (ETHE and ETH ETF) has staked an additional 857,600 ETH, worth approximately $3.83 billion, once again signaling major institutional conviction in Ethereum’s long-term potential. This move underscores the growing alignment between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure, as large-scale players continue to embrace Ethereum’s proof-of-stake model not just as an investment, but as a yield-generating and network-participating strategy. This massive staking operation carries several implications for the market. First, it effectively reduces circulating supply, since staked ETH is locked and cannot be easily sold. This dynamic strengthens Ethereum’s deflationary pressure, especially in a context where network activity and gas usage remain elevated. At the same time, the scale of this move reveals increasing institutional participation in Ethereum’s ecosystem, suggesting that the asset is being viewed less as a speculative instrument and more as digital infrastructure — a key component of the emerging tokenized economy. From a market perspective, this decision comes during a period of volatility and consolidation, where Ethereum’s price action has struggled to establish a clear direction. However, such sustained institutional staking serves as a stabilizing force, reflecting confidence that the asset’s intrinsic value continues to grow regardless of short-term fluctuations. In essence, Grayscale’s renewed staking push reinforces Ethereum’s position as the institutional cornerstone of DeFi and Web3, even as market sentiment remains mixed. If accumulation trends persist and network fundamentals hold strong, Ethereum could be preparing for a significant breakout in the coming weeks — supported not by retail speculation, but by deep, long-term capital positioning itself for the next phase of the cycle. Related Reading: Grayscale Stakes 32,000 Ethereum Worth $150 Million – Institutional Demand Grows Price Action Detail: Bulls Defend Key Support Levels Ethereum is currently trading around $4,340, showing signs of stabilization after a volatile session that saw a sharp rejection near $4,700. The 4-hour chart reveals that ETH has retraced toward its 200-period moving average, a critical dynamic support zone that often acts as a pivot point for market direction. Despite the recent dip of nearly 2%, the broader structure remains constructive, as long as bulls can maintain the price above the $4,300–$4,250 range. This area coincides with a key confluence of the 50-, 100-, and 200-period moving averages, suggesting that the current pullback could simply be a technical retest before another attempt to reclaim the $4,500 zone. A confirmed bounce from this region could set the stage for Ethereum to regain momentum and potentially retest the $4,700–$4,800 resistance range in the coming days. Related Reading: Coinbase Premium Gap Signals Strongest Bitcoin Accumulation Since ETF Launch – Details However, if selling pressure intensifies and ETH closes below $4,200, the market could see an extended correction toward $4,000 or even $3,850, where previous consolidation occurred.

Ethereum’s treasury stocks are starting to exhibit early signs of a potential market reversal, sparking renewed optimism across the cryptocurrency landscape. This movement among treasuries often serves as a leading signal of shifting sentiment within the broader ETH ecosystem. A Look At The Data Behind Ethereum On-Chain Recovery In a subtle shift that suggests the broader market may be stabilizing, Ethereum treasury stocks are beginning to flash early signs of reversal. Despite these encouraging signals, Ethereum remains well below its all-time high (ATH). Investor Ted Pillows pointed out on X that the institutional interest will only return once the charts show sustained momentum over several weeks.  Related Reading: Ethereum Store-of-Value Evolution: From Utility Token To Digital Reserve Asset Ted believes that for ETH to reclaim its ATH and hinges on capital inflow, it requires the same kind of large-scale liquidity injection the network experienced in July and August, which are critical to fueling the next leg higher. SharpLink Gaming Inc., a prominent corporate holder of ETH, has reported strong compounding returns from its treasury strategy asset. In the past week alone, the company generated 451 ETH in staking rewards, which is utilized through both liquid and native staking. Since the launch of its ETH treasury strategy on June 2, 2025, SharpLink’s total cumulative ETH staking rewards have now reached an impressive 4,723 ETH. According to the company, 100% continuous generation of yield is the amount of its ETH treasury, which is currently generating approximately $370,000 worth of ETH every day, showcasing ETH’s unique ability to generate yield while maintaining liquidity. SharpLink highlighted this as the reason the altcoin stands out as a superior treasury asset, which is productive, yield-bearing, and constantly compounding in value. Despite the strong performance, the firm confirmed there were no new ETH purchases or stock buybacks over the past week, which means there won’t be a new press release for now. The company’s focus remains clear: “the asset is ETH, and the ticker is SBET,” SharpLink noted. Ethereum Market Share Is Moving Exactly As Scripted Technical analyst Umair Crypto has noted that Ethereum dominance is currently at a critical juncture, having completed the first half of a projected move and now setting the stage for the second half.  Related Reading: Ethereum Faces TD Sell Signal At Key Resistance—$4,100 Next? This view anticipates a rejection from the current resistance area on the dominance chart toward the lower level for ETH Dominance, which will likely lead to a price correction where the next bounce for ETH will form.

As the crypto market rallies, BNB continues to hit new record levels, surpassing some of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and leading some analysts to suggest that its end-of-year run has just started.   Related Reading: Ethereum 23% Rally Pushes BitMine’s ETH Treasury Holdings To $13.4 Billion BNB Sees 30% Weekly Run   After a massive Q3 rally, BNB has started the last quarter of the year with a remarkable 30% rally. Over the past week, the cryptocurrency has recorded four new all-time highs (ATHs), climbing the list of top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.  The altcoin recovered from the late September pullback a week ago, reclaiming the $1,000 barrier. At the time, Analyst Ali Martinez suggested that turning this level into support would set the stage for a 30% rally toward the $1,300 target as part of its bullish breakout from its macro range. Notably, BNB had been trading within the $200-$700 price range since 2021, finally breaking out of this zone during the Q3 rally.  On Tuesday, the altcoin jumped 7% and hit a new record high of $1,330, reaching a market capitalization of $182 billion. According to CoinGecko data, BNB surpassed Tether (USDT) and XRP, becoming the third-largest cryptocurrency by this metric, only behind Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).  Following this performance, some market watchers have raised BNB’s price target to higher levels, suggesting that its end-of-year bull run may just be starting. Analyst NekoZ recently affirmed that the cryptocurrency was “executing a master class in trend continuation,” highlighting its performance over the past three months.  According to the chart, the altcoin has had two key breakouts since July, each followed by price expansion to new highs. Now, BNB appears to be repeating the same setup, which targets the $1,500 barrier next.  Similarly, Crypto Patel considers that if momentum continues throughout the Q4 run, the cryptocurrency could be heading for another 53% rally toward his second cycle target of $2,000. “You can doubt targets, but not momentum,” he wrote on X.   Rally Pushes Corporate Holdings To New Highs Amid its bullish rally, Nasdaq-listed CEA Industries, the world’s largest BNB Treasury Company, announced that its total Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy holdings have reached a total of $663 million in assets.  The company shared that it now holds a total of 480,000 BNB tokens as part of its goal to own 1% of the altcoin’s total token supply by the end of 2025. According to the Tuesday statement, the company’s total investment amounts to approximately $412.8 million, with an average acquisition cost of $860 per token, and an estimated BNB value of $585.5 million by October 6. David Namdar, CEO of CEA Industries, commented on the milestone, stating: “BNB’s all-time highs are a clear validation that the global markets are waking up to the inherent value, credibility, scale, and utility of both the asset and underlying ecosystem.” It’s worth noting that the ecosystem has also seen a strong performance throughout the past few months, with multiple projects built on the network leading in terms of profitability.  On Monday, BNB Chain revealed it had adopted Chainlink’s data standard to bring official US Department of Commerce (DOC) data directly to its blockchain.  Related Reading: BNB Price Hits $1,240 Record High: Partners With Chainlink For On-Chain US Economic Data Last month, decentralized oracle provider Chainlink announced its collaboration with the US DOC to deliver crucial macroeconomic data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to ten blockchain ecosystems Moreover, Kazakhstan recently announced the launch of its first crypto reserve, the Alem Crypto Fund, with Binance Kazakhstan as the strategic partner, aimed at long-term investment in digital assets.

Ethereum started a downside correction below $4,620 and $4,600. The price is trading below $4,600 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $4,560 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it trades below $4,420. Ethereum Price Corrects Gains Ethereum price extended gains above $4,600 and $4,620, like Bitcoin. ETH price even tested the $4,750 resistance zone before the bears appeared.

Ethereum (ETH) is trading at critical levels after a sharp rally from $3,800 to $4,700 in just a few days, marking one of its strongest moves in recent months. The swift rebound highlights renewed strength from bulls, who now appear firmly in control of the market’s short-term direction. As ETH approaches key resistance zones, analysts are closely watching whether the second-largest cryptocurrency can sustain its momentum and confirm a breakout above the current range. Related Reading: TRX Repeats Its 2021 Setup: Volume Cooldown Signals Smart Money Accumulation This impressive move is not just driven by market sentiment but also by robust on-chain fundamentals. Institutional participation in Ethereum continues to rise, with inflows from funds and treasuries steadily increasing over the past weeks. Meanwhile, staking activity remains high, suggesting that long-term investors are showing confidence in ETH’s network security and yield potential despite volatility in broader markets. The combination of growing institutional demand and sustained staking confidence provides a solid foundation for Ethereum’s next phase of growth. If bulls maintain control and price holds above $4,500, analysts believe ETH could be gearing up for another leg higher, potentially entering a new expansion cycle as the broader crypto market follows Bitcoin’s renewed bullish momentum. Grayscale Stakes $150M in Ethereum According to onchain data from Lookonchain, Grayscale (ETHE and ETH ETF) staked 32,000 ETH, worth approximately $150.56 million, earlier today. This move represents one of the largest institutional staking transactions in recent weeks and signals growing confidence among major players in Ethereum’s long-term value proposition. The decision to allocate such a significant amount of ETH to staking underscores the continued institutional belief in Ethereum’s dual role as both a technology platform and a yield-generating asset. Staking Ethereum locks coins within the network, effectively reducing liquid supply while contributing to network security and stability. When large holders like Grayscale commit such capital, it demonstrates conviction in the sustainability of Ethereum’s staking economy and its role within future financial infrastructure. Analysts interpret this as a strong bullish signal, especially amid rising institutional demand for tokenized assets and DeFi exposure built on the Ethereum network. Moreover, Grayscale’s move aligns with the broader trend of institutional staking growth, where funds and asset managers increasingly leverage staking yields as an alternative income strategy. This reinforces Ethereum’s position as the backbone of decentralized finance and a key component of institutional crypto portfolios. Combined with renewed bullish sentiment across the crypto market, Grayscale’s staking decision adds weight to the narrative that Ethereum remains undervalued relative to its fundamental strength and adoption. If momentum sustains, this event could mark the beginning of a new accumulation phase — one driven not by speculation, but by institutional conviction in Ethereum’s evolving economic and technological dominance.

The chart highlights a clear upward structure, with ETH reclaiming both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, confirming a short-term trend reversal. Buyers have regained control, and the price now approaches the critical resistance zone between $4,700 and $4,800, which previously marked a major rejection area in late August. A decisive daily close above $4,700 could pave the way for a test of $5,000, potentially leading to a new phase of price discovery if momentum holds. The sustained higher lows since late September further indicate accumulation rather than distribution, suggesting that investors are positioning for continuation rather than taking profits.

This correlation, combined with Grayscale’s recent 32,000 ETH stake, reinforces the bullish case for ETH’s medium-term outlook. However, short-term traders should monitor the $4,400 support, as a breakdown below this level could delay further upside. Overall, Ethereum’s technical structure looks strong, with clear momentum and market confidence returning as it eyes another breakout attempt. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

An analyst has pointed out how Ethereum has seen a sell signal on the Tom Demark (TD) Sequential alongside the retest of a key resistance line. Ethereum Is Trading Around Upper Boundary Of Descending Channel In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about how Ethereum is looking from a technical analysis (TA) perspective. First, Martinez has pointed out that ETH has been trading inside a Descending Channel for the last couple of months. Related Reading: Bitcoin STH Whale Profits Hit $10.1 Billion, Highest For The Cycle The Descending Channel refers to a consolidation pattern that forms whenever an asset’s price travels between two parallel lines that are sloped downward. It’s a type of Parallel Channel. Below is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Descending Channel for Ethereum’s 12-hour price. From the graph, it’s visible that Ethereum fell toward the lower level of the Descending Channel in late September, but found support at it and rebounded back up. The lower boundary of all Parallel Channels is assumed to be a source of support, so this would fit with the pattern. Since the rebound, ETH has made its way back up to the upper boundary of the channel. At the time Martinez made the post, the coin was just retesting it, but it has since added to its gains and is now looking to achieve a sustainable break past the resistance. Ethereum has made three attempts at breaking this barrier in the last two months, so it only remains to be seen whether the latest move above the line will last. Something that could make the sustainability of the rally harder is another TA alert that has appeared for the asset: a TD Sequential signal. TD Sequential is an indicator that’s generally used for locating potential points of reversal in any asset’s price. It involves two phases, called the setup and countdown. In the former of these, the indicator counts candles of the same color up to nine. Once these nine candles are in, it gives a top or bottom signal, depending on the color of the candles. The countdown picks off right where the setup ends and runs the count for another round, except this time it measures thirteen candles, not nine. Following these thirteen candles, the coin could be considered to have reached another turnaround. Related Reading: Bitcoin STH Exchange Inflows Hit $5.7B: Profit-Taking Already Underway? The latest TD Sequential signal in Ethereum has come after nine green candles, meaning that from the perspective of the indicator, bullish trend may be reaching a state of exhaustion. With both the resistance and this signal looming over ETH’s head, the rally could face a challenge. Based on where the midline and bottom line of the Descending Channel lie, the analyst says, “a rejection here could send Ethereum to $4,100 or even $3,780.” ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $4,730, up almost 13% over the last week.

As BitMine continues to bet on Ethereum (ETH), the King of Altcoins is eyeing a crucial resistance level that could set the stage for a new breakout, leading some analysts to suggest that a new all-time high (ATH) is around the corner. Related Reading: TRX Repeats Its 2021 Setup: Volume Cooldown Signals Smart Money Accumulation Ethereum Ready For New Highs? On Monday, Ethereum rallied to a multi-week high of $4,718 following the start of the “Uptober” market rally that has sent Bitcoin (BTC) and BNB to new highs. Notably, the King of Altcoins has bounced 23% from the recent September correction, which sent the cryptocurrency’s price to a local low of $3,815. Now, ETH nears the upper boundary of its macro range high for the first time in almost a month. The altcoin has been trading within the $3,600-$4,800 price range since the early Q3 breakout, which also served as a crucial area during the 2021 ATH rally. After retesting the range’s mid-zone last week, some analysts suggested that a weekly close above the $4,200 mark would enable its price to reclaim the $4,600 area and position itself for new highs. Meanwhile, other market watchers noted that breaking past the $4,500 resistance would set the base for a challenge of the macro range highs. Since then, the cryptocurrency has reclaimed those two crucial levels, closing the week around the $4,514 area and currently attempting to turn the $4,700 mark into support. Amid this performance, Titan of Crypto highlighted that ETH has broken out of a “textbook continuation pattern” on its weekly chart. He previously signaled that the cryptocurrency needed to break out of its bull flag formation for a potential 50% run. According to the analyst, after reclaiming the $4,500 mark, Ethereum now eyes a rally toward the $6,900 target. Meanwhile, Crypto Jelle forecasted that ETH’s main target remains around the $10,000 mark. Per the post, Ethereum “looks ready for continuation” after breaking out of its multi-year bullish megaphone pattern and retesting its upper boundary as support. BitMine’s ETH Treasury Hits $13 Billion Throughout Ethereum’s recent correction and price recovery, corporations have continued to bet on the King of Altcoins, pouring millions of dollars over the past week for their ETH-focused Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategies. BitMine, the largest Ethereum-based treasury company, announced that it had increased its holdings in the past week. In a Monday statement, the second-largest crypto treasury in the world revealed that its ETH holdings had surpassed the $13 billion mark. In late September, the company shared it had achieved the 2% milestone of its goal to own 5% of Ethereum’s total supply, with a total of 2.4 million ETH tokens. Now, BitMine holds $13.4 billion in assets, including 2,830,151 ETH, 192 BTC, $113 million stake in Eightco Holdings for its “Moonshot” initiative, and unencumbered cash of $456 million. The company is also the 28th most traded stock in the US, the announcement noted, with an average daily volume of $2.5 billion, according to 5-day average data from Fundstrat.

As of this writing, ETH is trading at $4,710, a 13% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The Ethereum price has recently demonstrated significant momentum, leading the altcoin market with a significant 13% increase over the past week. This surge has brought the cryptocurrency close to its all-time high, prompting a new wave of bullish predictions. Analysts Forecast Further Gains Market analyst Mags on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), highlighted a key milestone for the Ethereum price: after 1,146 days of price consolidation, the market’s second-largest cryptocurrency finally broke through the critical $4,000 level.  Related Reading: SwissBorg Founder Predicts Biggest Crypto Altcoin Cycle ‘Of Our Lifetime’ Historically, Ethereum made three attempts to surpass this threshold, encountering setbacks each time. However, in August, the fourth attempt proved successful, and the token has been consolidating above the $4,000 mark for several months. While there was a momentary setback when the price dipped to $3,800, bullish sentiment quickly returned, pushing the Ethereum price back above the $4,000 level and initiating a robust V-shaped recovery.  This technical pattern, according to the analyst, is highly bullish for the leading altcoin, with Mags suggesting that the next upward leg could target a new record price for ETH of $7,331, also aligning with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level. Potential Ethereum Price Surge To $10,000 Macroeconomic factors also play a significant role in Ethereum’s potential for further gains. Analysts at CryptoQuant note that the US M2 money supply has entered a renewed expansion phase, hitting a record high of approximately $22.2 trillion.  Bitcoin (BTC) was the first to reflect this increase, soaring by over 130% since 2022 and showing a strong correlation with M2 growth of around 0.9. By contrast, the Ethereum price performance has lagged behind, rising by just around 15% during the same period, a phenomenon dubbed “liquidity lag” by the analysts. However, on-chain data compiled by CryptoQuant indicates that this gap may be narrowing. Notably, Ethereum’s exchange reserves have decreased to roughly 16.1 million ETH, a drop of more than 25% since 2022.  This suggests a structural decline in selling pressure, as netflows to exchanges remain consistently negative, indicating that ETH is being withdrawn for self-custody. Additionally, the Coinbase Premium Index has turned positive, signaling renewed interest from US institutional investors. Related Reading: XRP Could Mirror 2017 Style Surge: Here’s How High The Price Will Go If It Happens Past cycles have shown the Ethereum price tends to trail Bitcoin during the initial stages of monetary easing cycles. Yet, as Bitcoin’s dominance dips below 60%, capital often rotates into the altcoin market, leading to a rise in the ETH/BTC ratio.  CryptoQuant analysts assert this pattern appears to be re-emerging, hinting that the remainder of the year could see a shift away from a Bitcoin-centric market toward one driven by Ethereum and other altcoins. If global liquidity continues to expand and the trend of outflows from exchanges persists, the Ethereum price may align more closely with M2 growth, entering a new phase of revaluation. In such a scenario, ETH’s prospect of reaching $10,000 becomes increasingly possible, the analysts further added. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Ethereum is entering its next phase of evolution with the Fusaka upgrade. With more than just another technical iteration, Fusaka represents a major step toward solving Ethereum’s long-standing scalability and efficiency challenges. Why Fusaka Matters For Ethereum’s Next Era Of Decentralized Innovation Crypto markets are buzzing with the anticipation of the Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade. According to the CryptosRus post on X, VanEck has mentioned that the upcoming Fusaka upgrade, expected in December, could unlock one of the most transformative moments in the network’s history, making ETH faster, cheaper, and more scalable than ever before. Related Reading: Big Move: Ethereum Foundation Trades $4.5M ETH For Stable Assets The Fusaka upgrade will introduce PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling), a breakthrough that allows validators to verify blocks without downloading them in full. This innovation will significantly improve efficiency, increase blob capacity, enhance throughput for rollups, and reduce transaction costs for users across the ecosystem. As CryptosRus explains, the best way to imagine this is like ETH upgrading its plumbing, resulting in cheaper and faster operation for everyone using the network. However, VanEck believes Fusaka could be a game-changer, especially for rollups such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base, which depend on ETH for settlement. By reducing data overhead and optimizing block verification, the upgrade strengthens ETH’s foundation as the global base layer for crypto’s financial infrastructure. Furthermore, as network fees drop, ETH’s monetary importance rises. VanEck also believes that ETH is evolving from a simple gas token into the settlement currency of the entire rollup economy. Fusaka represents the next major phase in ETH’s journey, transforming it from a programmable chain into the financial backbone of Web3, ready to power the next wave of global digital finance. Analyst Tom Tucker shared his thoughts that Ethereum might be on track for a revolution. If the price continues to follow a pattern correlated with this increase in global money supply (M2) liquidity, it could climb to $15,000. Tucker highlights that the rapid increase in M2 is causing Fiat money to lose value fast, and ETH is being viewed as a smart hedge against global monetary debasement. “Doubters are gonna doubt, but this looks like a solid opportunity to me,” the expert noted. The Hidden Correlation Fueling ETH’s Next Rally Ethereum’s path to a new all-time high may be building faster than many in the market are expecting. Economist trader known as MikybullCrypto highlighted that the Russell index, which measures the performance of small-cap US stocks and tends to track the credit cycle, has just broken a new all-time high for the first time in four years.  Related Reading: Global M2 Money Supply Says Ethereum Price Will Reach $20,000, Here’s When The trader noted that ETH has maintained a positive correlation with the Russell 2000 cycle.
