Ethereum fell more than 2% within 24 hours, sliding below $3,000 after losing its $2,900 support level. The drop triggered widespread liquidations, with around $500 million in long positions wiped out. Data shows that $79 million of the $106 million in ETH-focused contracts liquidated were long bets.

Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview Fusaka Upgrade Goes Live, Aiming to Boost Scalability On December 3, Ethereum is set to activate its Fusaka upgrade, the network’s second major 2025 update. The upgrade aligns execution- and consensus-layer changes, introducing features that aim to improve Layer 2 and reduce costs. A key component is PeerDAS, a data-sampling mechanism designed to reduce the bandwidth validators need to verify Layer 2 data. This system aims to cut validator bandwidth requirements by up to 85% and expand blob data capacity, potentially lowering Layer 2 transaction fees by 40–60%. Fusaka also raises Ethereum’s block gas limit to 60 million, enabling more transactions per block, and introduces updates to the Ethereum Virtual Machine that streamline smart contract execution. These combined changes are expected to enhance the network’s transaction capacity. Industry interest had been rising ahead of the upgrade. Major financial players, including Amundi and Fidelity, recently announced moves into tokenized products built on Ethereum, reflecting broader institutional activity across the network. Can Ethereum (ETH) Recover From Oversold Levels? Ethereum (ETH) last traded at around $2,807, with technical indicators indicating continued bearish momentum. The MACD remains in negative territory, while the Relative Strength Index sits at 32, signaling oversold conditions. Key support levels are at $2,700 and $2,500. A failure to hold these zones may deepen the downtrend, while a rebound could push ETH back toward $2,900–$3,000. Open Interest rose 4.3% after the decline, suggesting traders are reopening positions and preparing for higher volatility.

Ethereum (ETH) has slipped 6.1% in the past 24 hours, falling below $4,300 after bulls failed to defend the crucial $4,500 resistance zone. The decline comes despite fresh institutional buying, with Tom Lee–led BitMine purchasing approximately $84 million worth of ETH in just 24 hours, lifting its holdings to over 2.15 million coins.

However, the market remains in “fade-the-rally” mode, as short-term traders continue to sell into strength. Fed Rate Cut Bounce Fizzles Ethereum (ETH) initially spiked above $4,600 after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis-point rate cut and hinted at a softer policy path for 2025. But the rally quickly lost momentum, with selling pressure intensifying as unrealized profits among large holders reached levels last seen in 2021. ETH's price records major losses on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview On-chain flows indicate that more ETH is moving from staking contracts to centralized exchanges, signaling caution among whales. Likewise, low network fees show subdued on-chain demand, reinforcing bearish short-term sentiment. Technical Outlook: $4,000 Ethereum (ETH) Test in Play From a technical perspective, Ethereum’s price action has turned negative after breaking below its 50-SMA ($4,502) and 200-SMA ($4,396) on the two-hour chart. Analysts note that the breakdown candle resembled a Marubozu pattern, a strong bearish signal that often precedes further downside. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has plunged to oversold levels near 18, suggesting conditions are stretched but not yet bullish. Immediate downside targets lie at $4,242, $4,159, and potentially $4,065 if selling pressure persists. A routine retest of the $4,395–$4,502 band is expected; failure to reclaim this level could pave the way for a drop toward $4,000 support. For bulls, only a decisive reclaim above $4,502 would shift momentum back toward $4,588 and $4,699. Until then, traders are advised to treat rallies as shorting opportunities rather than signs of recovery. Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Conviction Despite short-term weakness, institutional accumulation still supports Ethereum’s long-term growth. BitMine’s latest acquisition shows that deep-pocketed investors continue to bet on ETH’s rise, even as short-term volatility unsettles retail traders. The wider market remains delicate, with Bitcoin hovering around $114,000 and major altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin also declining. Analysts believe that the upcoming week, marked by Fed Chair Powell’s speech and key U.S. economic reports, could influence Ethereum’s next significant move.

Ethereum (ETH) has extended its bullish run, surging past $4,300 and posting a staggering 45% gain over the past month. The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency now eyes the $5,000 milestone, triggered by unprecedented whale accumulation, institutional inflows, and a wave of regulatory clarity in the U.S. Related Reading: Ethereum Bullish Fundamentals Clash With Short-Term Leverage Risks In just the past four weeks, over $4.17 billion has flowed into Ethereum-focused investment products, with entities like Galaxy Digital, FalconX, and BitGo facilitating large-scale purchases. One “mysterious institution” reportedly acquired 221,166 ETH worth nearly $1 billion in a single week, signaling long-term confidence at elevated prices. Whale Buying and Institutional Inflows Strengthen Ethereum (ETH)’s Bullish Case Whale addresses holding more than 10,000 ETH have climbed to their highest level in a year, while public companies added 304,000 ETH ($1.3B) to their treasuries last week alone. Notably, BitMine Immersion Technologies accounted for $900 million of these purchases. Ethereum spot ETFs have also recorded significant inflows, with $327 million added in just the first week of August. Analysts note that the combination of whale activity and institutional buying has historically preceded major rallies, and with ETH breaking above the stubborn $4,000 resistance for the first time since 2021, market sentiment remains firmly bullish. ETH's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview Regulatory Clarity and Network Growth Add Fuel to the Rally Recent U.S. regulatory developments have removed key uncertainties from the crypto market. The White House’s new digital asset framework, the Ripple-SEC case resolution, and President Donald Trump’s executive order allowing crypto in retirement accounts have boosted Ethereum’s legitimacy in traditional finance.

Bottom Line If ETH can break the $4,430 resistance, its previous all-time high of $4,860 is within reach. From there, bullish projections point to $5,000 and even $6,500 in 2025. While short-term corrections remain possible, the structural trend suggests Ethereum may be entering a new phase of price discovery. Cover image from ChatGPT, ETHUSD chart from Tradingview
Ethereum (ETH) is capturing market attention with signals of a potential breakout reminiscent of Bitcoin’s historic 2021 bull run. Analysts cite a combination of strong technical indicators, increasing ETF inflows, and intensified whale accumulation as key reasons Ethereum could soon outperform Bitcoin. Related Reading: Top Analyst Says Bitcoin Is Trapped: ‘Nothing To Do Until October’ ETH recently broke out of a classic falling wedge pattern, a technical setup often linked to trend reversals. This bullish formation, combined with multiple Relative Strength Index (RSI) taps, suggests Ethereum may be poised for a significant upward move. The RSI behavior mirrors Bitcoin’s movements in early 2021, before it surged to record highs. Adding to the bullish narrative, Ethereum’s RSI has tapped its long-term trendline three times, a rare pattern seen during market bottoms and major trend shifts. ETH's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview $5.4 Billion in Ethereum ETF Inflows Reflect Institutional Confidence Institutional interest in Ethereum is surging. Over the past 20 days, Ethereum ETFs have recorded $5.4 billion in net inflows, with only one day of outflows in July. BlackRock’s ETHA ETF alone accumulated more than $4 billion, while the iShares Ethereum Trust added $1.7 billion across 10 straight trading days. This ETF demand marks a strong signal of growing confidence among professional investors. On-chain data also reveals a 40% surge in Ethereum ETF holdings over the last month, a vertical trajectory that underscores rapid institutional adoption. Whale Accumulation Adds Fuel to Ethereum’s Rally Potential Whales are also aggressively accumulating. More than 200 new whale addresses have been added since early July. Notably, one address reportedly purchased $300 million worth of Ether via OTC deals through Galaxy Digital. Despite recent price dips below $3,400, ETH rebounded to $3,560, signaling strong support and buyer interest. Analysts now see the ETH price forming a base for a sustained rally, especially if price closes above key resistance with rising volume.

Ethereum (ETH) dropped over 6% in the past 24 hours, sliding to around $3,630 after briefly touching the $3,800 mark. Related Reading: XRP Breakout Targets $15—Analyst Says ‘This Is Just The Start’ The pullback comes after a robust July rally, which saw the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency surge more than 50%, its best monthly gain in three years. Despite the recent dip, on-chain data suggests the uptrend may not be over. Glassnode’s latest analysis points to a potential new all-time high (ATH) of $4,900, fueled by bullish investor sentiment, growing ETF inflows, and rising open interest (OI) in futures markets. Glassnode Points to a $4,900 Ethereum Target According to Glassnode, Ethereum is trading near its March 2024 levels, yet unrealized profits remain comparatively lower. This divergence implies a large upside potential as investors are not yet cashing out, signaling confidence in further gains. The firm’s analysis shows that if unrealized profits reach the same levels as in 2024, ETH would likely climb toward $4,900, marking a new ATH and testing the critical psychological resistance at $5,000. This could reflect a growing shift in how investors treat Ethereum, from a speculative token to a core financial asset. ETH's price records a small decline on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview Open Interest and ETF Demand Reinforce Bullish Outlook Rising open interest further supports Ethereum’s bullish case. Crypto futures data indicates that more traders are opening long positions on ETH, reflecting expectations of further upside. Ethereum’s OI has been a key contributor to the broader altcoin market rebound. Moreover, spot Ethereum ETFs, especially BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF, saw over $4 billion in inflows in July 2025, pushing total ETH ETF holdings to $21.85 billion. The surge underscores Ethereum’s rising status among institutional investors and may amplify future price movements.

As Ethereum (ETH) continues to experience a significant price downturn, recording a 17% drop over the past month, key resistance levels have emerged as critical points for the second-largest cryptocurrency. Analysts suggest that these levels could ignite a potential trend reversal if reclaimed. Ethereum Faces Potential Decline To $1,155 In a recent update shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted two pivotal price points for Ethereum’s immediate future. The first, set at $2,100, is seen as a necessary threshold for initiating a new upward trend. However, the $2,300 mark is regarded as a “more decisive” level that Ethereum must breach to confirm a bullish reversal. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Struggles: Crypto Analyst Bucks Back Against Bearish Sentiment, Top Is Not In Martinez’s analysis, based on the one-day chart seen below, indicates that if Ethereum fails to reclaim these levels, it may lead to a further decline. The next target points to watch would be $1,600 and $1,155, levels that could indicate a new downtrend. Such a decline would represent additional losses of 12% and over 37%, respectively, marking a troubling continuation of Ethereum’s worst first quarter in its history. In another post, the analyst also pointed out that the Ethereum price is facing a significant resistance wall between $2,200 and $2,580. On-chain data from the analytics firm IntoTheBlock reveals that approximately 12.43 million investors have bought about 66.18 million ETH within this price range. A breakout above these levels could potentially generate bullish momentum for the cryptocurrency. However, bullish catalysts that could trigger a move above these levels remain scarce among experts. ETH’s Largest Accumulation Zone Under Threat Market intelligence firm Glassnode has indicated that ETH’s Cost Basis Distribution shows limited support near current prices. Weekly data suggests that addresses with a cost basis around $1,800 have not re-engaged. Many investors are reportedly selling at a loss, further adding to the current price uncertainty. On March 28, several clusters of approximately 250,000 ETH with cost bases between $2,000 and $2,050 effectively vanished, indicating that some higher-cost holders are attempting to average down their positions. However, Glassnode asserts that the overall Ethereum accumulation zone appears limited at current price levels, raising questions about future stabilization for the second largest cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Chainlink Weekly Indicator Flashes Buy Signal – Can Bulls Hold $13.20 Support? The largest accumulation zone below the current market price now sits at $1,537, where nearly 994,000 ETH was acquired.

ETH is currently trading at $1,830, down 12% for the week. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
As the Ethereum price lingers below its all-time highs (ATHs), TRON founder Justin Sun has emerged with a bold vision aimed at revitalizing the altcoin’s value. Sun’s Vision For The Ethereum Price In a recent social post on X (formerly Twitter), Sun proposed a plan that he believes could propel the Ethereum price to unprecedented heights, targeting a price of $10,000. Sun’s strategy hinges on a radical overhaul of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) and the Ethereum protocol itself. Related Reading: US Bitcoin Reserve: Eric Trump’s Deleted Tweet Raises Eyebrows The TRON founder asserts that under his leadership, immediate and decisive actions could almost double the current price peak for ETH. One of his primary proposals is to halt the sale of ETH for a minimum of three years. By doing so, Sun aims to stabilize the currency’s supply and bolster market confidence. To cover operational costs during this period, Sun suggests leveraging Aave (AAVE) lending, staking yields, and stablecoin borrowing, thereby ensuring that the ETH supply remains intact while aligning with deflationary goals. In addition to halting sales, Sun proposes imposing significant taxes on Layer 2 (L2) projects. He believes this move could generate at least $5 billion annually for Ethereum, either in stablecoins or tokens. The revenue from these taxes would be utilized to repurchase and burn ETH in a decentralized manner, further enhancing scarcity and potentially driving up demand. Major Staff Cuts To Transform Ethereum Foundation Into Meritocracy In his social media post, Sun also emphasized the need to streamline operations within the Ethereum Foundation. He suggests a significant reduction in staff, retaining only the most capable team members. Those who remain would receive substantial salary increases, transitioning the Ethereum Foundation into a merit-based organization that rewards high performance. Furthermore, the TRON founder calls for adjustments in node rewards and a stronger focus on fee-burning mechanisms. By reducing node rewards, Sun believes Ethereum can solidify its deflationary status, reinforcing its position as a store of value. Related Reading: Cardano Will Reach $1.50 Once The $1.10 Resistance Breaks – Details The focus, according to Sun, would shift exclusively toward Layer 1 (L1) development, prioritizing scalability, security, and broader adoption. Sun is confident that these initiatives could lead the Ethereum price to surpass $4,500 within the first week of implementation, laying the groundwork for long-term success. While this only represents Sun’s vision for the Ethereum price, any of these proposals, if viable for driving another leg up of the altcoin, could ultimately be adopted by the co-founders or the developers of the platform. As of this writing, the Ethereum price hovers around the $3,200 mark, reflecting a loss of 4% over the past 24 hours. This decline has widened the gap between the current price and its ATH of $4,878, representing a difference of 34.5%. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
As Ethereum (ETH) trades steadily above the $3,300 mark, market analysts are beginning to predict a potential recovery that could reshape the altcoin landscape. Currently trading at $3,321, ETH’s resilience has been notable, especially amidst a broader market correction led by Bitcoin (BTC). This recent downturn has tested ETH’s critical support level at $3,290, effectively preventing a decline toward the psychologically significant $3,000 barrier. Could Ethereum Reach $14,000 By March 2025? Crypto expert Crypto Rover has made headlines with his bold prediction that ETH is poised for an “explosion” in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025. His confidence is bolstered by historical trends observed in previous Bitcoin Halving years, particularly in 2017 and 2021, where ETH experienced substantial double-digit increases from January through March. In 2017, Ethereum recorded impressive monthly gains of 31.9% in January, 48% in February, and a staggering 214% in March. Similarly, in 2021, ETH saw significant gains of 78.5% in January, 8.4% in February, and 34.7% in March. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reserve Idea Sparks Cautious Response From Japan PM: Report According to the expert’s analysis, these historical trends indicate that if Ethereum sustains its current price level for the rest of the year, it could experience a comparable path in 2025. Based on these historical figures and averages from the price increases between 2017 and 2021, it is possible that ETH might reach about $5,000 in January, around $6,400 in February, and by March, it could soar to $14,336 per token. Such increases would not only signify a recovery but also potentially triple Ethereum’s all-time high of $4,878 reached in November 2021. Beyond Ethereum, other altcoins such as XRP, Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), and even meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) are also expected to benefit from this market correction and consolidation. Crypto Rover has also cautioned altcoin holders, stating, “Now is the worst time to sell. Our portfolios still have the potential to do a 10x from here. The next three months are going to be incredible.” Key Support Levels For ETH’s Price In addition to these bullish predictions, analyst Gabriel Maur has weighed in on Ethereum’s current price action, emphasizing key support levels between $2,800 and $2,900. The analyst notes that the structure of support has transitioned into resistance, which, once broken, becomes a crucial support level. The upward trend indicated by the 55-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) further supports the bullish sentiment. Related Reading: Bitcoin $90K Level Is Crucial For Bulls – Price Could Tag $79K If BTC Loses It As long as ETH remains above this critical support region on weekly closes, the probability of continued upward momentum stays in favor of buyers. Maur identifies imminent targets of $4,093 and $4,868 (the previous all-time high), suggesting that if ETH closes above its all-time high, it may enter a price discovery phase with Fibonacci extensions indicating further upside potential.

Ethereum (ETH) is currently facing significant selling pressure and fear after a 23% decline, bringing its price down to yearly lows at $2,200. One major concern for investors is the ongoing underperformance of ETH compared to Bitcoin, a trend that has persisted since September 2022. Since then, Ethereum has fallen 44% against Bitcoin. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) Triangle Formation Hints At A Double Bottom: Breakout and New ATH? This dramatic drop has left investors and traders questioning the reasons behind Ethereum’s struggle. A recent report from CryptoQuant offers some clarity, pointing to several factors that may be affecting ETH performance. As market participants continue to monitor ETH’s movements, many are left wondering whether the asset can regain momentum or if further downside is to be expected in the coming weeks. Ethereum Exposed: CryptoQuant Report Sheds Light The recent report from CryptoQuant offers clarity on factors currently affecting Ethereum (ETH). Declining on-chain activity, shrinking institutional interest, and the underwhelming performance of Ethereum ETFs compared to Bitcoin are among the key contributors to Ethereum’s struggles, with the ETH/BTC pair now sitting at 0.0425, its lowest level since April 2021. Ethereum’s underperformance seems to be tied to weaker network activity dynamics compared to Bitcoin. For instance, Ethereum’s total transaction fees have continued to decline, mostly attributed to the lower fees after the Dencun upgrade. The relative transaction count has also fallen dramatically, dropping from a record high of 27 in June 2021 to 11, one of the lowest levels since July 2020. Moreover, Ethereum’s supply dynamics are not supportive of a price increase. Since early April, the total supply of ETH has steadily grown following the Dencun upgrade. The current supply is at 120.323 million ETH, the highest level since May 2023. Related Reading: Ethereum Enters Oversold Territory, Can The Pump Send It To $6,000? Additionally, traders and investors have shown a clear preference for Bitcoin over Ethereum, as the relative spot trading volume of ETH to Bitcoin has dropped from 1.6 to 0.76 in the past week. Ethereum’s price has historically risen relative to Bitcoin when its trading volume outperforms Bitcoin’s. Given these factors, Ethereum may continue to underperform compared to Bitcoin in the near future. ETH Price Action Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $2,262 after a significant 23% drop from its local highs. Volatility and uncertainty continue to drive the market as ETH tests local demand near its yearly lows of around $2,200. The cryptocurrency remains far below its 4-hour 200 moving average (MA) at $2,565, a critical indicator that typically signals market strength. For bulls to regain control, it is essential for the price to break above this moving average and challenge the local highs at $2,600. Related Reading: Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index Falls To ‘Extreme Fear’ As BTC Dips Below $54,000 However, if Ethereum fails to hold support at its yearly low of $2,200, the price will likely enter a deeper correction phase, potentially signaling the start of a bear market. This level is crucial for ETH’s short-term recovery, as losing it could trigger further selling pressure. Bulls need to retake these key levels to prevent ETH from slipping into prolonged bearish territory. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
