THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Ethereum (ETH) is flashing a rare technical warning sign for bears. According to the analysis, the daily chart has hit a historically oversold MACD reading not seen in years, aligning with a deeply oversold RSI. This confluence of extreme momentum signals suggests that the price has entered a major demand zone, dramatically increasing the likelihood of a powerful relief rally and setting the stage for a significant short-term rebound. MACD Hits Rare Historical Lows — A Zone Linked To Major ETH Bottoms According to a recent post from More Crypto Online, Ethereum is currently flashing one of its most extreme MACD readings seen in years on the daily timeframe. While the MACD technically has no fixed oversold threshold, comparing past cycles gives valuable context. Historically, ETH has often formed significant market bottoms whenever the MACD enters the -210 to -220 region, a zone it has dipped below a few times, but not often.

Adding to this confluence, the RSI has also slipped deep into oversold territory, reinforcing the idea that sell pressure may be nearing exhaustion. Together, both indicators suggest that momentum could soon shift away from the bears. However, the analyst cautions that these signals alone do not confirm a major trend reversal. Oversold conditions can persist longer than expected, particularly in strong downtrends. Even so, such extreme readings are often early clues that a temporary recovery or a corrective move to the upside may be approaching. Overall, the current market structure gives the bears something to think about.  Early Signs Of Relief: Ethereum Finds Stability In Key Demand Zone In a 3D market update, CryptoPulse reported that Ethereum has now cleanly tapped the identified Demand Zone, showing early signs that the aggressive downside may be easing. This reaction suggests sellers are losing momentum, creating the conditions for a potential short-term rebound if buyers step back in. Should bullish strength return, a retest of the $3,500 region is likely in the coming sessions. Related Reading: Ethereum Approaches Critical Resistance — Bullish Breakout Or Trap In The Making? However, CryptoPulse emphasized that confirmation is still required before calling any meaningful reversal. A strong bounce paired with a reclaim of key short-term levels would be the first signal that buyers are regaining control.  Meanwhile, if bearish pressure persists, Ethereum may drift deeper into the chart structure, where the next significant demand sits between $2,400 and $2,600. This zone could act as the major support zone for ETH if the current support fails to hold. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

The Ethereum price has slipped deeper into a bearish structure that has intensified over the past week. A combination of weakening momentum, strong ETF outflows, and selling from long-term holders has dragged the price of Ethereum lower at a pace that has led to concerns about whether the cryptocurrency is preparing for a deeper correction.  The latest decline has now placed the $3,000 region back into view and it opens up the question of whether the momentum behind this downturn is strong enough to force another breakdown below $3,000. Ethereum Price Slips Below Moving Averages As ETF Outflows Deepen New data from 10x Research reveals that Ethereum is now trading firmly below both the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, confirming a clean shift toward bearish momentum. The latest one-week change shows a decline of -6.6%, with the price failing to regain the short-term trendline at any point during the sell-off.  Related Reading: This Analyst Called The Bitcoin Crash Below $20,000 In 2021, He’s Back With A Shocking Prediction For Solana The chart provided by the research firm illustrates how ETH-USD rolled over throughout early November as both moving averages curved downward, indicating that market structure has fully weakened. This technical deterioration is unfolding at the same time the Ethereum ETF market is experiencing one of its heaviest redemptions on record. According to data from SoSoValue, spot ETH ETFs have now seen more than $1.4 billion in net outflows since the beginning of November, a change that shows the decisive shift in institutional appetite.  The combination of sustained selling pressure and shrinking ETF demand has created a feedback loop that continues to pull ETH lower whenever each price support level fails. XRP Price Chart. Source: 10X Research On X Long-Term Holders Selling Fastest Since 2021, But Whales Are Accumulating On-chain flows paint a picture of an ecosystem under strain. Data shows that long-term ETH holders, wallets that have held their coins for three to ten years, are now selling at their fastest rate since 2021. This group is known to be dormant during most phases of the market, so their recent activity has introduced a strong supply wave that exchanges have struggled to absorb.  Related Reading: What Will Trigger The XRP 1,300% Break To $36 This Bull Cycle? However, the dynamic is not entirely one-directional. On-chain data shows that a few large whale wallets have stepped in aggressively during the downturn and bought hundreds of thousands of ETH worth over $1 billion.  Meanwhile, the scale of accumulation has not been large enough to counteract the broader selling from long-term holders or the ETF outflows, leaving the price of Ethereum trapped inside a downward-tilting trend channel. Ethereum is now trading around $3,182, but its intraday low has stretched as far as $3,023. This leaves very little margin between the current level and the support zone at $3,000. If sellers continue to dominate and push the price below the $3,150 to $3,200 range, a direct slide to $3,000 becomes increasingly likely during the new week.

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

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

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.

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. Related Reading: BlackRock Exec Drops Trillion-Dollar Revelation At Ripple Swell, But Is XRP Ready? 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.

Swiss banking giant UBS has taken a major step toward institutional blockchain by completing its first live tokenized fund transaction on the Ethereum network, a landmark demonstration of blockchain’s real-world utility. By bringing fund operations into blockchain rails, UBS demonstrates how tokenization can eliminate settlement friction, improve transparency, and expand access to digital asset markets. How Institutional Adoption Of Ethereum Is Accelerating In the echelons of global finance and true innovation, UBS, the legendary Swiss banking giant, has announced the completion of the first live tokenized fund transaction on the Ethereum blockchain. According to CryptoGucci’s post on X, UBS has achieved the first on-chain redemption of a tokenized fund using Chainlink’s Digital Transfer Agent (DTA). This agreement marks a milestone in blockchain infrastructure for the $100 trillion fund industry. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Climbs As Monthly Transactions Hit New All-Time High The transaction involved the tokenized UBS USD Money Market Investment Fund Token (uMINT) on the ETH blockchain. This achievement is engineered to drive unprecedented operational efficiencies and unlock new possibilities for product composability within the traditionally rigid fund industry. Meanwhile, UBS’s proprietary tokenization platform is leading this charge, a platform designed to automate key functions. As articulated by Mike Dargan, UBS Chief Operating Officer and Technology Officer, this transaction represents a key milestone in how smart contract-based technologies and advanced technical standards are poised to enhance fund operations and the investor experience. Ethereum is entering a new era of a super-cycle, where the current price of ETH does not reflect the monumental improvements in its fundamental infrastructure over the past several months. A full-time stock investor and trader, known as StockTrader_Max, has noted that the current situation won’t last much longer, due to the 8-year historical chart of ETH. It also shows that the ETH uptrend over the past 5 years has been in a consolidation phase that’s likely nearing its end. However, this breakout won’t emerge before the end of 2025. Those traders and investors who are patient will benefit exponentially from the super-cycle that is inevitably approaching. This breakout will occur as Wall Street and the broader financial industry adopt the blockchain space and start building on ETH. The Repo Market Just Flashed A Signal Co-founder of weRate_Official, Host of CoinCompassHQ, and bestselling author at Forbes 30U30, Quinten Francois, has revealed that the repo market had just broken. The Federal Reserve just executed an overnight repo operation, injecting a staggering $29.4 billion into the banking system, which is the biggest since the chaos of 2020.

On Tuesday, the Ethereum price fell by 8%, following the overall correction in the cryptocurrency market and even outperforming Bitcoin’s (BTC) dip. This has sparked concerns as ETH nears important support levels, putting its $3,000 mark at danger. October Events Lead To Significant Corrections Ram Ahluwalia, the chief investment officer at Lumida Wealth, recently noted that the roots of this latest crypto sell-off can be traced back to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) October meeting.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Falls Under $100,000: Elliott Wave Analysis Forecasts Decline To $70,000 On October 29, the central bank announced its second interest-rate cut of the year. However, during the subsequent press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell expressed uncertainty about the possibility of another reduction in December.  According to Ahluwalia’s analysis, this has been detrimental to Bitcoin and the overall crypto market, as lower interest rates typically bolster speculative assets like cryptocurrencies. Adding to the ongoing Ethereum price correction, mid-October saw US President Donald Trump announce new tariffs on China due to its restrictions on rare earth exports. This announcement triggered a flight of investors from cryptocurrencies to safer assets such as gold.  Ethereum Price Under Pressure From a technical perspective, analysts at The Birb Nest have highlighted key levels to watch. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), they noted that the Ethereum price broke below a critical weekly support level, which they interpret as a major deviation until price action proves otherwise.  They highlighted that a breakdown below the altcoin’s yearly open of $3,337 might push the Ethereum price to $2,800. For a positive reversal, they believe ETH must retake $4,000 and close above this level on a weekly basis. Related Reading: Caution In The Crypto Market: Expert Warns Of Bearish Phase Unfolding This November Additionally, the ETH/BTC pairing is under scrutiny, with prices trading below the yearly open at 0.0355. To target a rise towards 0.04, reclaiming this level is essential. Until then, analysts are watching for potential retests around 0.0325–0.03. However, some experts, such as Ali Martinez, caution against overly optimistic projections. He warns of a worst-case scenario in which the Ethereum price fails to reclaim the $4,000 mark, and potentially drops to as low as $2,400 or even $1,700. A decline of this magnitude would mean an additional 45% increase for ETH, which could also lead to a deeper correction in the broader altcoin market.  As of this writing, ETH is trading at $3,100. This represents a significant gap of 32% between the current trading prices and the all-time highs, which could not be re-tested before the end of the year unless a new recovery occurs before the weekly close.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

The cryptocurrency market has been struck by another wave of red candles, plunging 4.1% in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin have all suffered notable declines, with all large market-cap cryptocurrencies falling below support levels that held last week.  The downturn gained momentum after claims surfaced on X suggesting that Wintermute, one of the industry’s largest market makers, was preparing to sue Binance over alleged issues linked to the October 10 crash. Rumors Of A Lawsuit Against Binance Add To Anxiety Market unease deepened after rumors circulated on X claiming that Wintermute, one of the industry’s leading market makers, was preparing to sue Binance over losses incurred during the October 10 crash. The speculation began when a user known as WhalePump Reborn claimed that Wintermute had lost hundreds of millions and was preparing legal action, describing the situation as “not going to be pretty.” Related Reading: XRP Price At $10,000-$50,000 Is Nonsense: Analyst Bashes Calls For Bitcoin-Like Prices This was followed by another detailed post from a popular X account known as StarPlatinum, which addressed rumors that Wintermute was pursuing legal action against Binance over what it called unfair ADL executions during the massive liquidation event in early October.  As noted by the post, Binance’s system overload during the crash led to automatic deleveraging (ADL) at extreme price points, causing an estimated $19 billion to $20 billion in liquidations in just 24 hours, the largest single-day wipeout in crypto history. Notably, Wintermute’s portfolio across Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana fell by about $65 million following the crash, though no on-chain patterns indicated forced liquidations or large withdrawals. Binance, for its part, had acknowledged system overloads at the time but denied any preferential treatment or technical fault that could have led to any unfair losses. Wintermute Founder Refutes Claims Of Lawsuit As panic spread through the market, Wintermute’s founder, Evgeny Gaevoy, took to X to dispel the rumors entirely. Quoting an earlier post from October 11, Gaevoy reiterated that Wintermute had never planned to sue Binance and saw no reason to do so in the future.  “We never had plans to sue Binance, nor see any reason to do it in future,” Gaevoy said on X. “I should probably ask to make a note of all the people spreading baseless rumors, but most of people believing these have goldfish memory capacity, so I wont,” he added. He also described the circulating claims as complete bullshit in a direct response to the WhalePump Reborn post.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The ‘Unthinkable’ For XRP – Here’s What It Is The Wintermute rumors are part of various factors that are causing the price of cryptocurrencies to crash. Another factor could be the Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinting that the central bank may not pursue additional rate cuts anytime soon. Adding to the selling pressure were outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to data from Farside Investors, Spot Bitcoin ETFs started November with outflows on Monday, bringing the trend to four consecutive days of outflows. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $104,502, down by 2.8% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum is trading at $3,490, down 6.0% in 24 hours. Dogecoin is trading at $0.1618, down 6.8% in 24 hours.

The recent Ethereum price rejection that pushed it back below the $4,000 level has created a concerning trend that could send the price spiraling. The major point of interest lies at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, where the last rejection occurred. Given this, it is likely that the Ethereum price could see more declines in the coming days, although there is still the possibility of the bulls taking over and invalidating the entire bearish setup. Ethereum Price Is Showing A Lot Of Weakness The rejection from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level marked the start of the decline from the $4,200 level during the last recovery. This rejection resulted in the formation of a lower high on the 4-hour timeframe, and historically, such lower high formations mean that there is more selling pressure piling up for the digital asset. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breakdown Is Nothing To Worry About? This Long Term Structure Points Above $1 As the bullish momentum looks to be fading, it puts the Ethereum price in a precarious position. Crypto analyst The Alchemist Trader explains that the rejection had come with increased bearish volume as investors offloaded their holdings on the market, putting bears in charge once again. Following this development, the Ethereum price has continued to struggle around $3,900, where the next local support lies. The cryptocurrency has maintained a tentative hold at best on this local support, suggesting that the bulls could indeed be losing ground at this level. If this corrective phase continues, then the Ethereum price decline is far from over. The current local weakness has put a strain on the support, and if $3,900 fails completely, the next major support lies below $3,400, more specifically at $3,385. This will serve as the next stronghold for the bulls to make their move. “From a structural perspective, Ethereum’s inability to sustain momentum signals growing bearish pressure across lower timeframes,” the crypto analyst explained. The Case For ETH Bulls Despite the mounting bearish pressure, there is still the possibility that the Ethereum price could break out of this downtrend. Just like with the bearish case, the key lies at the $3,900 support and how well it holds. Related Reading: Wave 3 Target Suggests That The XRP Price Is Headed For $10 In the case that bulls are able to reclaim and hold this support with momentum, then it could invalidate the bearish setup that has emerged. In this case, the crypto analyst believes that the Ethereum price could resume its uptrend above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum is once again testing the strength of its key support band around the $3,700 zone, a level that has acted as a crucial lifeline for bulls in recent months. With momentum fading after repeated rejections near resistance, speculations are whether buyers can step in to spark a renewed push upward or if a deeper correction is on the horizon. ETH Pulls Back After Golden Pocket Rejection In his latest market update, Luca shared insights on Ethereum’s current technical setup, noting that the asset recently faced rejection at the high-timeframe resistance zone he had highlighted in earlier analyses. This rejection aligns with the golden pocket between the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci points of interest (POIs). Following this rejection, Ethereum’s price has retreated into the broader accumulation range marked in green on his chart. Related Reading: Why This Analyst Is More Bullish On XRP Over Ethereum For The Short-Term According to Luca, this accumulation zone has served as a strong reversal area in recent months, providing crucial support whenever price corrections intensified. It also coincides with the Weekly Bull Market Support Band, reinforcing its importance as a potential turning point in Ethereum’s next major move. Despite this, the analyst cautioned that the current market structure appears vulnerable to a breakdown. Luca emphasized that while he remains optimistic about Ethereum’s long-term potential, if the breakdown is confirmed, he plans to stay objective by hedging part of his spot holdings. Doing so, he believes, would help reduce exposure to downside volatility while keeping capital ready to re-enter the market once a more sustainable bullish reversal emerges. Luca concluded by reiterating his adaptive trading strategy, a balance between flexibility and discipline. By maintaining moderate cash positions and exposure to defensive assets, he ensures the ability to act quickly when clear opportunities arise while safeguarding capital during volatile market phases. Ethereum Holds The Mid-Range Support Zone Between $3,600–$3,700 According to GrayWolf6, Ethereum is currently trading within a defined range between $3,900 and $3,100, with the price recently touching the mid-range support area around $3,600–$3,700. He noted that the Stochastic RSI is flashing a bullish signal, hinting at the potential for a short-term rebound from this zone as buyers begin to regain momentum. Related Reading: Is The Ethereum Bull Cycle Over? Analyst Identifies Potential ‘Double Top’ Pattern GrayWolf6 further explained that since ETH reached $4,250 just a few days ago, another move toward the upper band remains a possibility. Should the price reclaim strength, the next upside target could extend to around $5,200. Despite this optimistic outlook, the analyst cautioned that Ethereum remains confined within the lower range, keeping the downside risk near $3,100 in play. He mentioned taking profits on his earlier short position and is now watching closely for signs of a bounce from this intermediate support level. For him, the strategy remains steady, risk-managed, positions hedged, and the next move is patiently waiting. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum’s scaling era is evolving, and Linea is emerging as one of its most important pillars. By enabling faster, cheaper transactions while maintaining full ETH security and composability, Linea is building the infrastructure for real economic activity. Why Ethereum Needs An Economic Backbone Linea is rapidly evolving into the Ethereum economic backbone. Crypto analyst Henry has revealed on X that Linea was built from first principles as a reinforcement layer for ETH’s future. The reason why Linea is catching serious attention is that over $1 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) and $130 million in stablecoins represent real liquidity inflow into the network, not inflated metrics.  Related Reading: Ethereum Treasury Giant SharpLink Resumes ETH Purchases As Holdings Top $3.5 Billion Furthermore, Linea’s buyback and burn mechanism ties are built directly into protocol revenue. MetaMask’s deep integration and the seamless user experience (UX) are instant reach, and the developer-first architecture actually scales without breaking ETH’s security. The rumors of a MASK airdrop and upcoming institutional deployments only add fuel to the narrative.  While others are chasing hype, LineaBuild is constructing the infrastructure that powers real revenue. Henry concluded that every stat is screaming one thing, and adoption is real. “Nothing can defeat this, and Linea is ETH’s execution layer for the next cycle,” the expert added. Crypto analyst BullifyX has also made a bold declaration that the next evolution of Web3 is unfolding right on LineaBuild. Linea isn’t just another Layer 2 blockchain, but it’s a new foundation for scalability, speed, and developer freedom.

It scales on LineaBuild.” BullifyX noted. The First Public Company Just Proved Ethereum’s Real-World Use Case In a monumental shift, the institutional adoption of Ethereum had just leveled up. According to Stacy Muur, the founder of GREENDOTS, the catalyst for this advancement is the deployment of an impressive $200 million in ETH on LineaBuild by SharpLink, a publicly traded company, powered by EigenLayer’s EigenCloud, ether_fi restaking, and Anchorage for secure, regulated custody.

Meanwhile, a public company is now using EigenCloud as infrastructure for staking and verifiable on-chain treasury management.

Ethereum-focused treasury company ETHZilla said it has sold roughly $40 million worth of ether to fund ongoing share repurchases, a maneuver aimed at closing what it calls a “significant discount to NAV.” In a press statement on Monday, the company disclosed that since Friday, October 24, it has bought back about 600,000 common shares for approximately $12 million under a broader authorization of up to $250 million, and that it intends to continue buying while the discount persists. ETHZilla Dumps ETH For BuyBacks The company framed the buybacks as balance-sheet arbitrage rather than a strategic retreat from its core Ethereum exposure. “We are leveraging the strength of our balance sheet, including reducing our ETH holdings, to execute share repurchases,” chairman and CEO McAndrew Rudisill said, adding that ETH sales are being used as “cash” while common shares trade below net asset value. He argued the transactions would be immediately accretive to remaining shareholders. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Shows The Possibility Of The Ethereum Price Reaching $16,000 ETHZilla amplified the message on X, saying it would “use its strong balance sheet to support shareholders through buybacks, reduce shares available for short borrow, [and] drive up NAV per share” and reiterating that it still holds “~$400 million of ETH” on the balance sheet and carries “no net debt.” The company also cited “recent, concentrated short selling” as a factor keeping the stock under pressure. The market-structure logic is straightforward: when a digital-asset treasury trades below the value of its coin holdings and cash, buying back stock with “coin-cash” can, in theory, collapse the discount and lift NAV per share. But the optics are contentious inside crypto because the mechanism requires selling the underlying asset—here, ETH—to purchase equity, potentially weakening the very treasury backing that investors originally sought. Death Spiral Incoming? Popular crypto trader SalsaTekila (@SalsaTekila) commented on X: “This is extremely bearish, especially if it invites similar behavior. ETH treasuries are not Saylor; they haven’t shown diamond-hand will. If treasury companies start dumping the coin to buy shares, it’s a death spiral setup.” Skeptics also zeroed in on funding choices. “I am mostly curious why the company chose to sell ETH and not use the $569m in cash they had on the balance sheet last month,” another analyst Dan Smith wrote, noting ETHZilla had just said it still holds about $400 million of ETH and thus didn’t deploy it on fresh ETH accumulation. “Why not just use cash?” The question cuts to the core of treasury signaling: using ETH as a liquidity reservoir to defend a discounted equity can be read as rational capital allocation, or as capitulation that undermines the ETH-as-reserve narrative. Beyond the buyback, a retail-driven storyline has rapidly formed around the stock. Business Insider reported that Dimitri Semenikhin—who recently became the face of the Beyond Meat surge—has targeted ETHZilla, saying he purchased roughly 2% of the company at what he views as a 50% discount to modified NAV. He has argued that the market is misreading ETHZilla’s balance sheet because it still reflects legacy biotech results rather than the current digital-asset treasury model. Related Reading: Ethereum Emerges As The Sole Trillion-Dollar Institutional Store Of Value — Here’s Why The same report cites liquid holdings on the order of 102,300 ETH and roughly $560 million in cash, translating to about $62 per share in liquid assets, and calls out a 1-for-10 reverse split on October 15 that, in his view, muddied the optics for retail. Semenikhin flagged November 13 as a potential catalyst if results show the pivot to ETH generating profits. The company’s own messaging emphasizes the discount-to-NAV lens rather than a change in strategy. ETHZilla told investors it would keep buying while the stock trades below asset value and highlighted a goal of shrinking lendable supply to blunt short-selling pressure. For Ethereum markets, the immediate flow effect is limited—$40 million is marginal in ETH’s daily liquidity—but the second-order risk flagged by traders is behavioral contagion. If other ETH-heavy treasuries follow the playbook, selling the underlying to buy their own stock, the flow could become pro-cyclical: coins are sold to close equity discounts, the selling pressures spot, and wider discounts reappear as equity screens rerate to the weaker mark—repeat. That is the “death spiral” scenario skeptics warn about when the treasury asset doubles as the company’s signal of conviction. At press time, ETH traded at $4,156.

Ethereum’s bullish momentum has intensified throughout the weekend, with the price climbing above $4,100. This steady recovery follows a strong rebound from the $3,500 region after a crash earlier in the month.  Investor sentiment, as shown by trading volume and flows on exchanges, has turned optimistic amidst the recovery. Now that Ethereum’s price action is starting to turn bullish again, a new technical analysis shared by crypto analyst Freedomby40 on the social media platform X suggests that the current rally could be far from over, projecting a possible long-term climb to $16,000. Wave Count Structure Points To A Continuation Phase Freedomby40’s analysis, which is based on the Elliott Wave structure, presents Ethereum as currently positioned in an extended bullish sequence that began forming in late 2022. Posting the technical analysis on X, the analyst noted that Ethereum’s price action looks great for a continuation.  Related Reading: Here’s What Happens To The Ethereum Price If Bullish Momentum Holds His chart shows that the asset has just completed a corrective phase and is entering a renewed impulse wave, with support established between $3,225 and $3,563 at the 0.5 and 0.382 Fibonacci retracement zones, respectively. The analyst labels this zone as the ideal accumulation area for the next leg up, consistent with previous cycle structures seen in 2017 and 2021. The Elliott Wave projection in his analysis presents a multi-layered confluence of impulse waves extending to the third degree. It illustrates that Ethereum is currently unfolding its fifth major impulse wave in a structure that traces back to mid-2022.  The internal structure of this wave sequence also reveals a C wave in motion, which itself contains smaller sub-impulse waves. Within that C wave, Ethereum appears to be entering its own fifth sub-wave, which is known to be a decisively bullish wave. Based on this setup, the analyst outlined two potential target zones on the chart: a green box representing the realistic price range for this wave cycle and a red box depicting the higher, more extended scenario that could push Ethereum’s market cap into the trillion-dollar level. Fibonacci Extensions Predict Targets Of $9,000, $11,000, And $16,000 Freedomby40’s analysis identifies multiple price levels based on Fibonacci extensions from the current price action. The first price target is at $6,303, which is based on the 1.0 Fibonacci extension. This initial price target will see the Ethereum price break above its current all-time high, but this is the first of many. Related Reading: Institutions Exit Bitcoin In Large Tranches, Ethereum, Solana And XRP See Massive Buy-Ins The next target, the 1.236 extension, is positioned around $9,013. These two price targets ($6,303 and $9,013) were described by the analyst as very realistic. Possible extensions are at the 1.382 and 1.618 Fibonacci extension levels, corresponding to $11,210 and $16,077, respectively. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,160, up by 5.2% in the past 24 hours. Freedomby40’s outlook joins a growing list of ultra-bullish Ethereum price forecasts from institutional research desks and top analysts. Standard Chartered Bank recently raised its 2025 price target for Ethereum to $7,500, while projecting a potential long-term path to $25,000 by 2028.

Ethereum is showing renewed strength after rebounding from its Bull Market Support Band, a key zone that has historically served as a launchpad for major uptrends. The bounce signals a possible shift in momentum, but the real test now lies ahead. With the price approaching the crucial golden pocket resistance, a breakthrough is likely to confirm a sustained bullish phase. ETH Bounces Back From Weekly Bull Market Support Band In his recent update on ETH, Luca, a crypto analyst on X, noted that the asset has once again found solid footing at a familiar support area. According to Luca, the price has successfully bounced off the Weekly Bull Market Support Band. This rebound also aligns perfectly with the high-timeframe support range highlighted in his previous PAT updates, reaffirming the technical strength of this level. Related Reading: Ethereum Gathers Strength — Upside Breakout Could Confirm Recovery Phase He emphasized that this move was largely anticipated, as the support zone has repeatedly proven to be a reliable area for bullish reactions whenever ETH enters a corrective phase. The recent bounce signals that buyers are still active and willing to defend key levels, which could set the stage for renewed momentum if sustained. However, Luca urged caution in the short term, pointing out that ETH is now approaching a major resistance zone. This zone corresponds with the golden pocket area between the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci levels, where Ethereum previously encountered selling pressure. A failure to break above this region could result in sideways movement or a minor pullback before any decisive trend shift occurs. ETH Eyes High-Timeframe Resistance Range For Next Leg Up The analyst further explained that if Ethereum manages to break above the current resistance range, it would signal a decisive shift in market structure. Such a move would confirm renewed bullish momentum, paving the way for a mid-term uptrend toward the high-timeframe resistance zone marked in red.  Related Reading: Ethereum’s Technical Reset: $3,800 Support May Ignite The Next Wave Upward He added that as long as ETH holds above the “golden pocket” zone after a breakout, the most likely outcome remains further upward. Sustaining momentum above this key area would reinforce the bullish narrative, suggesting that Ethereum could continue climbing toward higher resistance levels without facing major corrections. However, until that breakout occurs, the analyst expects a period of consolidation around the current support band. According to the analyst, this phase would likely serve as a base for a more durable upside reversal in the future. At this time, patience remains essential, as the ongoing structure hints that Ethereum is preparing for a stronger, more sustained rally once the market confirms direction.

Unlike Bitcoin, the Ethereum price has struggled to hold up, and even after the crypto market recovery, the price remains below $4,000, which is a major psychological level. Given this, it seems that the cryptocurrency is set to close the month of October in the red, losing almost 5% of its value already this month. However, with the month of November quickly rolling by, the Ethereum price might be in for a bounce, as November has historically been green for the market. November Could Hold The Key For Ethereum Price Looking at the historical price data for Ethereum on the CryptoRank website, there seems to be a balance between years when the month was red and years when it was green. In a decade, there have been five years where the Ethereum price has seen gains in November and five years where there have been losses. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Astrology: Moon Cycles Predict When The BTC Price Will Touch $138,000 However, there seems to be a rather bullish pattern: the years when the month was green saw double-digit gains, eventually resulting in higher gains than losses. As a result, the average return for the month is 6.93%, and the median return, while low, also remains positive at 1.42%. Given the fact that there is no clear trend to pinpoint where the price is headed, the bears and the bulls look to have equal chances. But if it does turn out to be in the green, it is likely that the Ethereum price will witness a double-digit surge. Such a move would help it clear the $4,000 resistance with momentum. Q4 Still Has Potential Quarterly returns for the Ethereum price have not exactly been the best in the last quarter of the year, but that has not changed the fact that the altcoin tends to perform quite well overall. There is also the trend of Q4 ending in the green if the previous Q2 and Q3 were in the green, which is the case right now. In Q2 of 2025, the Ethereum price ended with an average positive return of 36.5% and in Q3, it followed with a 66.7% return, the highest so far. With October trending low, there is already a 4.83% decline this year, but with more than 2 months to go, there is still time for things to change. Related Reading: Why The Dogecoin Price Could Reverse To $0.5 As Momentum Reaches Historical Lows Only one year in history has the Ethereum price closed Q4 in the red after Q2 and Q3 ended in the green, and that was nine years ago in 2016. Since then, the trend has always seen the ETH price continuing the rally. This was the case back in 2017, and then again in 2020 and 2021. Since then, this trend has not returned, and 2025 is the first time in four years that the Ethereum price has ended both Q2 and Q3 in the green. If the historical performance holds, the Ethereum price could see an average of a 50% increase, or even double, like it did back in 2017 and 2020, before the year is over.

The financial world is witnessing an unprecedented shift, as Ethereum solidifies its position as the sole asset capable of becoming a multi-trillion-dollar institutional store of value. ETH is the only one currently demonstrating the scale, utility, and institutional acceptance to command and securely hold multi-trillion-dollar allocations, fundamentally redefining the future of global wealth preservation and growth. Why Ethereum Is The Foundational Role For Institutional Capital Ethereum has quietly become the final form of digital trust for institutions to store trillions of dollars. A market expert and entrepreneur, partnering with OKX and MEXC, Ted Pillows, has stated on the social media platform X that ETH decentralization is nearly impossible to replicate, a network that was largely community-funded, not VC-funded, and forged through proof-of-work (PoW). Related Reading: The Inevitable Convergence: How Ethereum Became The Settlement Layer For All Altcoins Furthermore, the reliability of ETH has been 100% uptime over 10 years of flawless operation and 16 successful upgrades. The ETH Layer 1 and Layer 2 architectures are designed to offer regulatory safety, where institutions can deploy compliant solutions. Meanwhile, the KYC-enabled Layer 2s do not compromise on the fundamental decentralization or security of the leading ETH blockchain. Maintaining A Buffer For Market Opportunities While Ethereum is a safe place for institutional investors to store trillions of dollars, analyst Luca has noted that the ETH price has shown strength as it bounced off the Weekly Bull Market Support Band, which has previously acted as a strong reversal over several weeks. This level also aligns with the high-timeframe support area marked in green, the same zone that served as a major resistance throughout most of 2024. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Faces Rejection Near Resistance Zone — Risk Of Deeper Correction Rises Luca believes that due to this confluence, and as long as the price holds above this range, the broader market structure will continue to favor the upside. However, ETH still faces a critical test ahead. Until it breaks above the golden pocket between the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement Point of Interest (POIs), the same zone that triggered the last rejection, the analyst highlighted that the best approach is to stay somewhat cautious. He also added that investors should be ready for further consolidation within the high-timeframe accumulation range.  As Luca has highlighted, the priority now is risk management. Avoid unnecessary leverage, don’t overexpose on short-term setups, and maintain a diversified portfolio with moderate exposure to defensive sectors. This will help ride out the volatility as ETH moves closer to the top of the cycle. While advocating for a cash buffer, the expert noted that if ETH breaks below the Weekly Bull Market Support Band, it would signal a potential deeper downside and justify hedging part of spot holdings to mitigate short-term risk.

The crypto market continues to watch the Ethereum price closely as the year moves toward its final months. Analyst Bobby A shared his personal view about how he sees Ethereum performing through the last quarter. He said his forecast is only a loose guide, not a strict timeline, and that people should take it lightly. Still, his post gives a fascinating look into how the market could shift from uncertainty to strength before the year closes. Bobby A Shares His Outlook For The Ethereum Price Final Quarter Performance In his recent post on X, Bobby A shared his latest Ethereum price prediction, calling it a “very loose attempt” at guessing how the rest of the market cycle might unfold. He reminded his followers that he usually does not focus on time-based analysis and asked them to take his words “with a grain of salt.”  Related Reading: Dogecoin RSI Breakout Shows Main Target, Why $1 Is Still Possible The analyst’s prediction is based on the current market structure and suggests what could happen in the last quarter of 2025. He is more about giving direction than making an exact price call, suggesting that while short-term moves can be unpredictable, the bigger picture for the Ethereum price might be setting up for a shift as the year ends. Although he made it clear that this is not a firm price forecast, his post suggests that Ethereum could still face turbulence before regaining its strength. Analyst Sees October Weakness, November Recovery, And December ATHs In the same post, Bobby A gave a simple month-by-month outline of how he thinks the Ethereum price might move in the last quarter of 2025. He wrote that for the rest of October, the market could continue to “chop,” meaning prices may swing up and down with some downside risk still present. This prediction suggests that the market may not yet have found solid ground and could still test lower areas before recovering. Related Reading: Economist Explains The Reality Behind XRP Price Reaching $100,000, It Can’t Overtake Bitcoin However, he expects a recovery in November, pointing to a possible shift in market sentiment. This phase could bring back confidence among traders and start building momentum again. His most optimistic view comes for December, when he believes the Ethereum price could reach new all-time highs (ATHs). That shows that despite the shaky start, he sees potential for a strong finish to the year. Bobby A’s post on the Ethereum price reflects both caution and hope. While he admits that timing is tricky to get right, his breakdown paints a picture of improvement after short-term weakness. His view aligns with how some traders currently see Ethereum’s price: struggling now but showing signs of strength ahead. Whether or not the market follows this path, his post adds to the growing discussion about the Ethereum price potential price comeback before the year ends.

Ethereum is holding firm within the $3,600–$3,800 range, showing resilience despite recent market pullbacks. Such a consolidation phase could be the calm before a major breakout, as chart patterns hint at a possible pre-rally formation that might propel ETH toward new all-time highs. Potential Right Shoulder Formation Signals Structural Strength Crypto analyst MarketMaestro delivered a detailed technical update on ETH, noting that the asset recently suffered a key rejection at its neckline resistance. Following this failure, the price is now positioned in a crucial retest phase at a red diagonal resistance line that it had previously surpassed. ETH’s market’s success in holding this diagonal is essential to avoid completely losing the bullish momentum built up in the prior moves. Related Reading: Ethereum Slides Gradually — Buyers Losing Control As Market Turns Cautious The analyst further noted that the current price movement suggests ETH could be forming a right shoulder in this region. This structural development is highly significant because the right shoulder simultaneously works to complete two major, highly bullish chart patterns.  It is the final component needed to create the handle for the Cup and Handle pattern, while forming a larger Inverse Head and Shoulders (Inverse H&S) pattern. The simultaneous formation of both the Inverse H&S and the Cup and Handle in the same area is extremely rare and powerful, indicating that the market is setting the stage for highly bullish formations for the next quarter. Considering this powerful confluence of classic reversal and continuation patterns, along with the behavior of the broader market index, MarketMaestro views this entire consolidation phase not as weakness but as a logical pre-rally setup. He concludes with a high degree of confidence that the “pain threshold” or the maximum expected downside risk will likely not be very high. Bullish Bias Intact As Long As Support Remains Firm In a recent update, analyst Crypto Candy noted that the ETH scenario remains largely unchanged, despite recent market movements. A key takeaway from the analysis is that the asset is demonstrating significant resilience by strongly holding the crucial support zone between $3,600 and $3,800. Related Reading: Here’s What Happens To The Ethereum Price If Bullish Momentum Holds The analyst reiterated the importance of this specific range, emphasizing that as long as the $3,600–$3,800 zone successfully sustains, the medium-term bullish outlook remains firmly in place. This suggests that buyers are aggressively defending this level, preventing a deeper correction from continuing. Given the strength shown at this support level, Crypto Candy maintains a strong price forecast: the market is expected to target $4,700, with the potential to reach a new ATH. This bullish bias, the analyst concludes, remains valid until the $3,600–$3,800 support zone is breached. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

In the race to build faster, cheaper, and more scalable blockchains, every major altcoin ecosystem has traced back to Ethereum. What began as a single programmable blockchain has evolved into the base layer of liquidity, infrastructure, and innovation for the broader crypto economy. Two High-profile Chains That Chose Integration Over Isolation A new compelling argument has emerged, which redefines the future of Layer 1 (L1) blockchains, particularly those compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). According to the Head of the Ecosystem at Ethereum Foundation, James_gaps, Celo and Ronin have proved why every altcoin’s L1 might eventually become an ETH L1. Related Reading: Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Set To Redefine ETH Performance — Here’s What to Expect Celo has shut down 110 validators and cut security costs by 99.8%, from $6.9 million per year to just $13,200. Meanwhile, Ronin, another significant gaming-focused L1, has paid out $35 million in staking rewards since 2023 to maintain its L1. Currently, they’re redirecting that capital to developers who actually drive revenue. Despite the shift, they remain vibrant and are processing 350,000 daily active addresses across 1000 live games, with transaction activity surpassing even the peak of Axie Infinity’s 2.8 million-user era back in 2022. With the impending Fusaka upgrade, blob capacity is increasing eightfold, further enhancing their scalability. However, James_gaps explained that the founder of Ronin put it best, and in all EVM L1s are future L2s. When you can outsource security to ETH for pennies on the dollar instead of millions, while still retaining your user base and maintaining sovereignty, the economic rationale for becoming an L2 becomes undeniable. Building The Base For The Next Leg Higher Ethereum is demonstrating strength in terms of blockchain performance and price. Analyst Luca has noted that the ETH price has continued to consolidate around the higher timeframe support range marked in green, which previously acted as a strong resistance throughout 2024, capping multiple local tops. The flip from resistance to support now aligns with the Weekly Bull Market Support Band, a zone that has served as a reliable support over the past few months. Related Reading: Here’s What Happens To The Ethereum Price If Bullish Momentum Holds Luca believes that as long as ETH holds above these levels, the mid-term outlook remains bullish. In the coming days, the key test will become the resistance range marked in purple on the lower timeframes, which aligns with the golden pocket between the 0.2 and 0.618 Fibonacci Point of interest (POIs). A decisive break above this zone would confirm bullish continuation. Furthermore, if the price fails to hold the Weekly Bull Market Support Band near the $3,790, and makes a decisive daily close below it, the expert is set to hedge part of my spot holdings to mitigate short-term downside risk. Until that breakdown actually occurs, the mid-term structure will remain bullish. Though the current consolidation appears to be a healthy base before the next move higher.

In a market update on Oct. 10, technical analyst Nik Patel (@OstiumLabs) argued that Ethereum is approaching a make-or-break zone where the next few sessions could define whether the advance resumes or a deeper unwind unfolds. With spot ETH quoted around $4,000, Patel anchored his thesis to a tight cluster of reclaim and invalidation levels on both ETH/USD and ETH/BTC, emphasizing that lower-timeframe behavior must align with higher-timeframe structure to keep the bullish path open. Key Price Levels For Ethereum Now On the weekly ETH/USD chart, Patel said the market “wicked lower into the August open last week but held above the previous weekly low and trendline support,” resulting in an inside week that nevertheless closed “marginally below that major pivot.” The pivot is explicit: “We want to see this pivot at $4,093 reclaimed immediately and not flipped into resistance here on the lower timeframes, or else we could expect another flush of the lows towards that 2025 open.” Related Reading: Ethereum Death Cross That Last Preceded A 60% Drop Just Returned If buyers do force the reclaim, Patel expects last week’s action to stand as a quarterly low: “If we do reclaim $4,093 here, which is what I expect, we should have our quarterly low now in and I would want to see $4,400 flipped into support for the move higher into all-time highs and beyond.” He framed the weekly invalidation at $3,700, warning that a close below would put the yearly open on watch as “last-stand support” for the bullish structure; failure there risks “a much bigger unwind back into $2,850.” Patel’s base case remained constructive: “acceptance back above $4,093 into next week and then a close above $4,400 for October, leading to new highs through $5,000 in early November and a very strong month for ETH.” The daily ETH/USD read connects that high-timeframe blueprint to momentum and market structure. Patel noted “momentum exhaustion into the lows” followed by a higher-low last week, a formation that now must be defended. He wants to see the sequence reassert itself with a drive above the mid-range and a subsequent higher-low above the weekly pivot: “we absolutely want to see this structure now protected and price to form a higher-high above the mid-range at $4,352 and then another higher-low above $4,093 before a breakout higher and a push towards fresh highs.” For confirmation of an impulsive leg, he flagged a trendline break, a flip of the ATH-anchored VWAP into support, and an RSI regime shift: “If we get a trendline breakout and price flips that ATH VWAP into support with daily RSI above 50, I’d expect a move into $4,950 very swiftly, followed by price discovery in November.” The daily invalidation mirrors the weekly logic: if $4,093 acts as resistance and the market pushes below $3,700—then closes beneath it—“we’re absolutely retesting the yearly open,” in his view. ETH Vs. BTC Against Bitcoin, Patel contends that the relative pair has likely printed its Q4 low. On the weekly ETH/BTC chart, price was rejected at trendline resistance, then retraced to the yearly open and held, closing “marginally green” while respecting trendline support off the 2025 lows. “It is my view that the Q4 low for the pair has formed here,” he wrote, adding that a retest and break above the descending boundary into early November would set the stage for a measured expansion: “acceptance above 0.0417 opens up the next leg higher into 0.055.” He placed weekly invalidation at 0.0319. Related Reading: Ethereum Kimchi Premium Spikes To New High — Sign Of Impending Sell-Off? The daily ETH/BTC map refines those signals into actionable levels. Price “marked out that low between 0.0319 and the yearly open before bouncing hard and reclaiming 0.036 as support.” Ideally, 0.036 now acts as a springboard; if not, Patel allows for a higher-low “above the 0.0319 level before continuation higher.” The tactical tell would be a flip of nearby supply: “If we can flip 0.0379 as reclaimed support here, that would be promising for the view that a trendline breakout is imminent, following which I would expect 0.0417 to be taken out and price to head higher, with minor resistance above that at 0.049 before 0.055.” He also identified a confluence band below: “We have a confluence of support between 0.0293 and 0.0319, so flipping that range into resistance would be very bearish ETH/BTC.” Taken together, Patel’s Oct. 10 blueprint hinges on three synchronizations: ETH/USD must swiftly reclaim and defend $4,093; $4,400 must convert from ceiling to floor to clear the runway toward prior highs and a potential $4,950 extension; and ETH/BTC should drive through 0.0379 and then 0.0417 to confirm relative-strength breadth beneath any dollar-denominated breakout. The downside is equally crisp: failure to reclaim $4,093, a weekly close below $3,700, and a subsequent loss of the yearly open would validate the risk that, in Patel’s words, Ethereum could “unwind back into $2,850.” At press time, ETH traded at $3,872.

Coming out of the weekend, the Ethereum price has seen a rise in its bullish momentum. While it is still in its early stages, there is the possibility that the bulls are able to hold this momentum for a reasonable amount of time, thereby pushing sentiment straight into the positive once again. If this happens, then it carries some implications for the Ethereum price and could trigger the next wave of rallies for the cryptocurrency. Ethereum Price Eyes Next Breakout Speaking on the recent bullish momentum that the Ethereum price has enjoyed, crypto analyst Klejdi Muni revealed that this was a direct result of the formation of a bullish flag pattern on the chart. Not only did the Ethereum price complete this bullish formation, but it was also able to break above the flag, something that is very bullish for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holding Above Gaussian Channel, Bull Market Structure Still Intact The initial breakout above the $4,000 resistance shows that bulls are picking up momentum, and the only hurdle now is to keep this momentum going. If the momentum is sustained, then the next target for the Ethereum price to beat would be at the $4,285 level. Once this level is broken, then it is only a matter of time before Ethereum rallies in what could be another campaign for new all-time highs. On the flip side of this, though, is the possibility that bears would be able to drag the price back downward. This would happen if the support at $3,900 were to be broken. Such a move could invalidate the entire bullish thesis, especially if they are able to stop the current bullish momentum in its tracks. Thus, Ethereum bulls must keep the price above the $3,900 support if they want to maintain the current trajectory. Bullishness Is The Order Of The Day Another crypto analyst, Linofx1, has also echoed the bullish sentiments surrounding the Ethereum price. In their own analysis, Lino expressed that the Ethereum price was now bullish after testing a significant daily support level above $3,800. Related Reading: XRP Wallets Holding Over 10,000 Tokens Hit Record High Amid Price Recovery With this, there was the formation of an Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern, which is ultimately bullish for any digital asset. The price was able to complete a breakout from the neckline, rising to the top before encountering some resistance. This, the analyst explains, shows that there has been a local change of character from bearish to bullish. From here, the analyst highlights that the next level that needs to be broken is the $4,300 level. This is eerily close to Muni’s $4,285 resistance that holds the key to the next breakout.

The Ethereum network was built to democratize a finance platform where anyone, anywhere, could deploy code and create value. With no centralized oversight, ETH has become a stage where builders and grifters coexist, each leveraging the same tools of decentralization to vastly different ends.  Can Ethereum Evolve Beyond Its Culture Of Exploitation? Ethereum has always been more than just a cryptocurrency. It’s a programmable, open finance framework that allows anyone to build and exploit ETH. According to AdrianoFeria’s post on X, this openness has enabled innovation and also allowed countless grifters to accumulate vast amounts of ETH by selling low-quality tokens and NFTs to retail investors. Related Reading: Ethereum Has A Fundamental Problem, Warns Cyberpunk Nick Szabo The mechanism of extraction was simple yet profound, so that retail investors, ironically seeking to gain more ETH exposure through higher beta plays, ended up parting with the very asset they sought to accumulate. These grifters effectively extracted ETH that might have otherwise remained in the hands of long-term holders. However, one of the earliest and most glaring examples was EOS. At its peak, it held about 7.2 million ETH, which is roughly 6% of the total supply, marking the largest single treasury in existence.  A subsequent wave of Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and NFTs is believed to have extracted more ETH from the hands of long-term retail holders. This continuous speculative excess transferred wealth, creating selling pressure that ultimately slowed down ETH’s long-term appreciation. Furthermore, Adriano Feria asserts that ETH has finally moved beyond that phase and will be reflected in price action (PA) with steadier growth and much stronger relative strength during market corrections. Institutions are actively embracing ETH, and even hardcore BTC maximalists have been forced to acknowledge ETH’s technological strengths and the undeniable institutional traction it has attracted.  These expectations are for a boring supercycle, and with crypto commentators (CT folks) still trying to call the top. Still, this very stability and institutional foundation is precisely what the ETH supercycle is meant to look like. Why Ethereum Legacy Belongs To Everyone A digital artist, ArtvisionNFT, from Ukraine, who specializes in NFTs, has revealed that in the fast-moving world of blockchain, history is at risk of being forgotten. As a result, the Covalent_HQ Ethereum Wayback Machine (EWM) was built to ensure the full history remains intact and accessible to everyone, anywhere, to access the verified blockchain data.

A rare signal from a legendary market analyst has caught traders’ attention as the Ethereum and Solana price begins to show potential reversal signs. With the broader crypto market still in a slump, a subtle alert from the inventor of one of the most respected technical indicators has analysts wondering whether a major shift is about to unfold in ETH and SOL.  Bollinger Inventor Signals Ethereum And Solana Price Explosion John Bollinger, technical analyst and inventor of the world-famous Bollinger Bands indicator, has shocked the broader crypto community after identifying potential “W” bottoms forming on the Ethereum and Solana charts. In his market commentary on X social media, Bollinger noted that while Bitcoin has yet to exhibit similar signals, the ETHUSD and SOLUSD pairs are shaping up in a way that demands attention.  Related Reading: Ethereum Price Could Surge To $6,400 With New Bullish Wave, But There’s A Problem Notably, Bollinger’s cautious but bullish statement immediately drew attention from fellow market analysts. Satoshi Flipper, a well-known crypto expert, revealed that Bollinger typically makes only one such market call each year and has not issued one for Ethereum in three years. He disclosed that the last time the Bollinger Bands inventor made a similar statement was in September 2022, just before the ETH price surged from around $1,290 to nearly $4,000.  Due to Bollinger’s selective and historically accurate calls, analysts see it as an early sign of a potential reversal of a downtrend or consolidation into an explosive breakout. If the inventors’ analysis proves accurate once again, both Ethereum and Solana could be sitting at the foundation of one of their strongest bull rallies  Analysts Predict Bullish Targets For ETH And SOL Two separate technical analyses also highlight an optimistic outlook for the Ethereum and Solana prices. Crypto analyst Lark Davis highlighted that Solana’s chart structure appears “very constructive,” with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) approaching a momentum breakout and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) gearing up for a bullish cross.  Related Reading: Solana Price At Risk Of 50% Crash To $104 After Forming This Larger Bearish Trend Davis noted that Solana’s price action is forming a clear Double Bottom, a classic reversal pattern. Should the neckline break, he projects a potential price target near $250, provided bulls can defend the 200-day EMA. With Solana trading around $192, a rally to that target would mark roughly a 30% gain.  Ethereum’s technical outlook is even more dramatic. Analyst Merlijn the Trader stated on X that ETH has been developing the most explosive setup since the 2017 bull cycle, pointing to a textbook Bullish Pennant pattern on the monthly chart. Historically, such formations precede massive continuation once the price breaks above the upper boundary of the pattern.  Merlijn’s chart analysis projects an eventual breakout target around $8,500, suggesting that Ethereum could set a new all-time high soon. Considering that the ETH price is sitting above $4,000, a surge to this bullish target would more than double its value, marking an impressive 110% increase.

John Bollinger, the inventor of Bollinger Bands and a figure whose occasional crypto market calls carry outsized weight, says Ethereum and Solana are tracing potential “W” bottoms—while Bitcoin is not. In a post on X on October 18, Bollinger wrote: “Potential ‘W’ bottoms in Bollinger Band terms in ETHUSD and SOLUSD, but not in BTCUSD. Gonna be time to pay attention soon I think.” Potential ‘W’ bottoms in Bollinger Band terms in $ETHUSD and $SOLUSD, but not in $BTCUSD. Gonna be time to pay attention soon I think. — John Bollinger (@bbands) October 18, 2025 Ethereum And Solana Price: What To Watch Now The emphasis on “Bollinger Band terms” is doing heavy lifting here. In classic Bollinger taxonomy, a W bottom is a two-trough reversal with the second low holding above the first, often accompanied by a volatility signature that includes a prior band expansion, subsequent contraction, and a failure to register a lower low at the bands on the second leg. Related Reading: Ethereum Kimchi Premium Spikes To New High — Sign Of Impending Sell-Off? The more robust versions see the second low forming inside the bands or with a positive divergence against the lower band, followed by a band “pinch” and a move through the middle band that transitions into an upper-band walk. Bollinger’s phrasing—“potential” and “time to pay attention”—signals that, in his framework, pattern recognition precedes confirmation, and that the validation trigger lies in subsequent price interaction with the middle and upper bands rather than in the raw shape of the price lows alone. The rarity of Bollinger’s crypto commentary layered urgency onto the signal. As crypto trader Satoshi Flipper (@SatoshiFlipper) stressed, “John Bollinger, creator of Bollinger Bands, makes barely 1 crypto call per year and hasn’t made one for ETH in 3 years until yesterday. And each call he makes goes on to mark generational bottoms. He just told us SOL + ETH have bottomed, now imagine fading this legend.” The same account detailed that Bollinger’s last notable Ethereum call dates to September 9, 2022, noting that ETH “went on to pump from $1,290 to $4,000.” That historical reference captures the prevailing market psychology: Bollinger’s infrequent, technically disciplined alerts are perceived by many traders as cycle-defining. Context from earlier this year also helps frame the setup. On April 10, Bollinger publicly flagged a similar structure in Bitcoin, saying: “Classic Bollinger Band W bottom setting up in BTCUSD. Still needs confirmation.” In the exact same week, BTC carved out a bottom at $74,508 and proceeded to log seven straight green weekly candles, advancing roughly 55%. From Bollinger’s call into the first week of October, BTC rallied more than 70%. Related Reading: Ethereum Will Flip Bitcoin, Predicts Tom Lee: Here’s Why And When The market nuance in Bollinger’s latest readout is the explicit exclusion of Bitcoin. If ETHUSD and SOLUSD are printing W-like structures in Bollinger terms while BTCUSD is not, it implies a temporary decoupling in volatility structure and relative strength. In practical terms, a non-confirming Bitcoin can either lag into a later confirmation, remain range-bound in a mid-band churn, or fail its own setup if lower-band interactions persist without recapture of the middle band. For Ethereum and Solana, confirmation would typically look like sustained closes above the 20-period moving average (the Bollinger middle band), followed by a disciplined advance that converts the upper band from resistance into a guide. A healthy W bottom sequence tends not to produce immediate, vertical band overthrows; rather, it builds a stair-step profile with periodic mid-band checks that hold. Failure would involve another lower-band excursion that undercuts the second trough or a volatility bloom that widens the bands without directional follow-through—both signatures of an incomplete base. At press time, ETH traded at $4,037. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Tom Lee says Ethereum can overtake Bitcoin—“flip” it—by playing for dollar-dominance in a world of tokenized assets, even as he remains emphatically bullish on Bitcoin’s monetary role and long-term price. In a podcast exchange with Cathie Wood, Lee framed the coming competition through a 1971-style lens, arguing that the end of the gold standard catalyzed a wave of financial engineering that ultimately made dollar-based equities far larger than gold; in his telling, the broad tokenization of money and assets will rhyme with that history, positioning Ethereum’s smart-contract rails to capture the lion’s share of activity. Will Ethereum Flip Bitcoin? Wood set the premise with ARK’s top-down view of crypto’s addressable market by decade’s end. “You know, the ecosystem we expect to hit $25 trillion in 2030, the vast majority of that in Bitcoin,” she said, citing Bitcoin’s role as “a global monetary system, you know, rules based that we’ve been missing since the US went off the gold exchange standard in 1971.” She asked Lee directly: “I’d love to hear your thoughts on why ETH or the ecosystem will surpass Bitcoin.” Related Reading: Ethereum Correction Over? Binance Funding Rates Signal ETH Surging To $6,800 Lee’s answer was to rewind to that same inflection point. “1971 was when Nixon formally withdrew the US from the gold standard. The immediate beneficiary was there was demand and a market to own gold,” he said. But in his telling, the more consequential development was how finance rebuilt itself around an unpegged dollar. “In 1971, the dollar became fully synthetic because it was no longer backed by anything. And so there was a risk that the world would go off the dollar standard. So Wall Street stepped in create products to propagate the future of Wall Street, including…money market funds…credit…mortgage backed securities…futures, et cetera.” He continued, “Dollar dominance by the end of that period…went from 27 percent of GDP terms…to 57 percent of central bank reserves and 80 percent of financial transaction quotes.” For Lee, the market-structure consequence was stark: “The market cap of equities today is 40 trillion compared to two trillion for gold. So in other words, gold is 5 percent of all available assets.” He then drew the crypto corollary. “In 2025, we think everything is now becoming synthetic as we tokenize…as we move not just dollars onto the blockchain, just stablecoins, but we’ll move stocks and real estate. Dollar dominance is going to be the opportunity of Ethereum. So digital gold is Bitcoin. And so in that world, we believe Ethereum could flip Bitcoin, similar to how Wall Street and equities flipped gold post ’71.” Related Reading: Bitmine Exec And Crypto Founder Agree That Ethereum Price Is Headed For $10,000, Here’s Why Crucially, Lee couched the flippening as a sectoral dynamic rather than a zero-sum bet. “That is just our working theory because I am still a Bitcoin bull,” he said. “I’m very bullish on Bitcoin and I believe [Ark Invest’s] targets for Bitcoin are actually reachable. So we think Bitcoin’s fair value should at least be $1.5 to $2.1 million, but we can see higher values.” TOM LEE EXPLAINED TO CATHIE WOOD WHY ETHEREUM $ETH WILL EVENTUALLY FLIP BITCOIN $BTC! ???? pic.twitter.com/uFpoWWyHYY — Tom Lee Updates (Not Tom) (@TomLeeUpdates) October 16, 2025 In his framework, Bitcoin anchors the “digital gold” monetary premium, while Ethereum’s neutral smart-contract platform becomes the venue “where a lot of Wall Street will innovate” through real-world-asset issuance and collateral flows. “That would, of course, provide upside to a neutral smart contract platform where a lot of Wall Street will innovate real world assets,” he concluded.

Ethereum’s high-timeframe structure exposes the fallout from the leverage massacre. Open Interest has cratered, reflecting widespread liquidation across futures markets. With leverage drained and traders shaken out, the path forward depends on whether spot demand can fill the vacuum left by the OI collapse. The recent market volatility has presented a critical opportunity to assess the underlying health of various crypto assets. In an X post, Daan Crypto Trades, a full-time crypto trader and investor, has offered a compelling analysis of Ethereum’s high-timeframe chart, specifically focusing on Open Interest (OI), which shows exactly how much speculative excess has been washed out. Particularly, ETH got hit hard in the process. Why This Flush Could Be The Foundation For Ethereum’s Next Move According to Daan, what’s encouraging is that ETH’s Open Interest is now sitting at levels comparable to when ETH traded at $3,000. Meanwhile, the price now hovers around $4,000. For Daan, a simple rule of thumb to determine whether a healthy reset has occurred is if open interest is lower than it was previously at a specific price.  Related Reading: Ethereum Shows Strength – Bulls Aim Higher As ETH Eyes Potential Outperformance Typically, as price increases, Open Interest tends to rise as more capital flows into derivative markets, and vice versa. This relative comparison of OI and price is crucial because an increase or decrease in price will generally make OI trend in both directions.  There are also coins used as margin, which can inflate OI figures in a rising market. Thus, the relative levels to watch out for are between OI and price, which carry more weight than the absolute numbers. In the meantime, leverage is making a comeback in the Ethereum market. As the Master of Crypto, an observer of market dynamics, has highlighted, the Open Interest on ETH has surged 8.2% within 24 hours, fueling the ongoing price move. The surge in Open Interest suggests that traders are once again opening aggressive long positions after the recent flush, a familiar pattern that often carries more risk than reward. Master of Crypto advises caution, framing this leverage-driven rally within a historical context, that approximately 75% of rallies aggressively fueled by such a rapid build-up in leverage tend to reverse, while only 25% sustain their momentum upward. The Calm Phase Before The Next Expansion The Ethereum macro trend remains upward despite the short-term move. Analyst EtherNasyonaL has emphasized that after breaking free from its long-standing downtrend, ETH is currently only retesting the demand zone and trendline, a healthy bullish move retest that is typical of a strong market structure. Related Reading: Ethereum Price At Risk – Momentum Fades As Bears Target Fresh Lows Ahead However, the analyst pointed out that the fluctuation on the short timeframes doesn’t define the trend, but it’s the longer timeframes that hold the true directional signal.

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

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.

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. Umair concluded that the altcoin itself could experience a short-term correction once the move unfolds before reclaiming momentum for the next leg higher.
