Ethereum price started a fresh increase and remained stable above $2,320. ETH is now consolidating and might aim for more gains if it clears $2,380. Ethereum started a steady increase above the $2,300 zone. The price is trading above $2,320 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a contracting triangle forming with resistance at $2,380 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it stays above the $2,400 zone. Ethereum Price Aims Fresh Increase Ethereum price managed to stay above the $2,220 support and started a fresh increase, like Bitcoin. ETH price gained pace for a move above $2,250 and $2,300. The last swing high was formed at $2,417 before there was a downside correction. The price dipped below the $2,350 level. There was a move below the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,180 swing low to the $2,417 high. Ethereum price is now trading above $2,320 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,300, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,365 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,380 level. There is also a contracting triangle forming with resistance at $2,380 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The next major resistance is near the $2,400 level. A clear move above the $2,400 resistance might send the price toward the $2,440 resistance. An upside break above the $2,440 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,500 resistance zone or even $2,550 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,380 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,330 level. The first major support sits near the $2,295 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,180 swing low to the $2,417 high. A clear move below the $2,295 support might push the price toward the $2,265 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,230 region. The main support could be $2,200.

A crypto analyst has highlighted how the last three golden crosses in the Ethereum MACD led into significant price rallies. This signal has now appeared again. Ethereum MACD Has Just Seen A Potential Golden Cross In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared a technical analysis (TA) signal forming in the 1-week price of Ethereum. The signal in question is related to the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD), a technical indicator that’s generally used for identifying buying and selling points for an asset. Related Reading: USDT, USDC Activity Drops To Lowest Level Of 2026 On Ethereum It involves two trendlines. The first, called the MACD line, tracks the difference between the 12-period and 26-period exponential moving averages (MAs) for the asset’s price. Meanwhile, the other level, known as the signal line, is the 9-period EMA of the MACD line. Interactions between the two trendlines of the MACD indicator may provide hints about where the asset could be headed next; a surge from the MACD line above the signal line can be a sign that a bullish market shift may be occurring. On the other hand, the reverse crossover can be a bearish signal. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the trend in the MACD for the weekly price of Ethereum over the last couple of years: In the graph, the histogram tracks the distance between the indicator’s trendlines. Earlier, this histogram was in the negative territory, indicating that the Ethereum MACD line was trading under the signal line. Recently, however, the metric has just turned into the positive zone, implying a bullish crossover may be forming. The analyst has highlighted in the chart what happened the last few times that the MACD formed this type of crossover for the cryptocurrency’s weekly price. “The last three times the MACD printed a golden cross on Ethereum $ETH, the price surged 130%, 74%, and 98%,” explained Martinez. It now remains to be seen whether the signal in the indicator will hold for Ethereum this time, and if a rally anywhere close to the level of the last few ones will follow. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Ramp Up Accumulation: Holdings Hit 2-Month High In some other news, ETH’s latest surge has meant that its price has reclaimed a key cost basis level, as on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has pointed out in an X post. As displayed in the above graph, Ethereum has surged above the cost basis of the buyers from 1 to 3 months ago, but it still remains below the acquisition level of the 3 to 6 months old investors. “So far, this structure is consistent with a bear market relief rally, comparable to the bounces observed in Q3-Q4 2022, rather than a structural trend reversal,” noted Glassnode.

The US-Iran war continues to affect Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices, with volatility at high levels. However, risk-on sentiment also appears to be returning, with open interest rising as BTC rises to a new multi-month high. How The US-Iran War Affects The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin Prices In an X post, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that the US-Iran war continues to drive market volatility. He further remarked that there won’t be a path forward where the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices will do well if this continues to be the consensus. However, he added that the U.S. economy is “sufficiently weak” and that the Fed has no choice but to start printing money again, which is a positive for these risk assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Playing Out The Same Cycle Again On A Bigger Scale Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices have so far held up amid the US-Iran war, with BTC rallying to a multi-month high of $76,000 yesterday. This comes as market participants continue to price in an imminent end to the war despite the fragile two-week ceasefire. US President Donald Trump recently mentioned that another round of peace talks could happen within the next two days, which has also sparked bullish sentiments. Interestingly, risk-on sentiment has increased amid the US-Iran war, which is also contributing to the rally for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices. On-chain analytics platform Santiment noted that BTC and ETH’s rally to their highest levels since the start of February comes with increased optimism, as margin and leveraged positions are being created rapidly. Santiment revealed that Bitcoin’s open interest has surged 59% over seven weeks, while Ethereum’s has climbed 45% over the same period. The platform noted that this reflects growing trader conviction but also introduces higher risk as crowded leveraged trades can quickly unwind. They added that when open interest climbs alongside prices, markets often become more volatile, with sudden squeezes in either direction more likely. Analyst Warns That BTC Has Yet To Form A Bottom Crypto analyst Colin has warned that a bear market bottom has unlikely formed despite the rebound in the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices amid the US-Iran war. He noted that the $60,000 February bottom for BTC was only four months into a typical 12-month cycle, which is why he believes that the $60,000 price level isn’t the bear market bottom. Related Reading: Ethereum Is About To Go ‘Parabolic’ – Analyst Signals Golden Triangle Formation The analyst acknowledged that the bear market could be shorter this time around, but not by 2/3 of the normal bear cycle. He also noted that Bitcoin’s drop so far from its October 2025 peak is only 53%, compared to the 77% crashes recorded in prior cycles. In line with this, Colin said, “The $60k bottom is *statistically unlikely* to be the bottom.” Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum’s derivatives market on Binance is flashing a setup that could leave short sellers exposed if the recent move higher continues. According to analysis shared on X by CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost, positioning has become increasingly one-sided even as ETH has rebounded sharply from its February low, creating the conditions for further short squeezes. Ethereum Bears Crowd In On Binance The core of the argument is a mismatch between price action and trader conviction. Darkfost said that since February, around 350,000 ETH has been added to open interest on Binance, which now represents roughly 37% of total market share. At current prices, that amounts to more than $1 billion flowing into Binance’s ETH derivatives complex. Related Reading: A Historic Ethereum Signal Just Fired – Discover What Happens Next What stands out is not just the size of that increase, but the direction of positioning behind it. “What is paradoxical is that despite the recent price increase (+35% since the February low), the majority of investors appear to be positioning for a correction by shorting the market,” Darkfost wrote. “This can be observed through ETH funding rates on Binance, which have reached levels not seen since the previous bear market.” That matters because funding rates offer a read on which side of the perpetual futures market is leaning more aggressively. Darkfost said Binance funding has remained mostly negative since late January, suggesting traders have continued to pay to hold short exposure rather than chase the rebound. In other words, the move higher has not fully reset bearish conviction. Related Reading: Ethereum Profit-Loss Indicator Is Hovering Just Below Neutral – The Market Waits for A Catalyst The post argues that this skepticism has now reached a level that is unusual even by recent standards. “Observing such negative levels, with funding rates dropping below -0.01%, is relatively rare and indicates a significant buildup of short positions while investors remain in disbelief,” Darkfost wrote. “When this level of consensus forms, it is not uncommon for the market to move against the majority, triggering liquidations of the most aggressive positions and leading to short squeeze events, like the one observed yesterday.” That squeeze dynamic has already started to show up in the liquidation data. Darkfost noted that more than $3 million in short positions were liquidated twice within a single hour on Binance, a sign that even modest upside extensions are capable of forcing leveraged bears out of the market. In crowded setups, those forced exits can become self-reinforcing, as liquidations add incremental buy pressure and push price into the next pocket of vulnerable positions. The broader implication is not necessarily that Ethereum is entering a straight-line rally, but that the derivatives structure has tilted in a way that can amplify upside if sentiment remains slow to adjust. Darkfost framed the recent rally as the “early phase of the uptrend,” arguing that months of short accumulation could continue to provide fuel if traders remain positioned for reversal rather than continuation. There is, however, one important shift underway. Funding rates are now beginning to turn positive again, with Darkfost citing a reading around +0.01%, though the day’s data was not yet complete. If that change holds, the market structure would begin to look different: less driven by disbelief-fueled squeezes, and more by traders starting to align with the move. For now, the message from Binance’s ETH derivatives market is fairly clear. Shorts have piled in aggressively, but the more crowded that trade becomes, the more fragile it is if Ethereum keeps grinding higher. At press time, ETH traded at $2,318.

On-chain data shows the Ethereum versions of USDT and USDC, the two largest stablecoins, have seen their active addresses fall to the lowest level of 2026. USDC & USDT Active Addresses Have Fallen On The Ethereum Network In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the Daily Active Addresses for the Ethereum versions of USDT and USDC. This indicator measures the daily total number of addresses participating in some kind of transaction activity on the network. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Ramp Up Accumulation: Holdings Hit 2-Month High When the value of this metric goes up, it means more addresses are coming online on the blockchain every day. Such a trend implies user interest in the cryptocurrency is rising. On the other hand, the indicator observing a decline suggests holders of the asset are reducing their transaction activity as fewer of them are making moves on the network. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in this metric for USDT and USDC on the Ethereum blockchain over the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, both the top two stablecoins have seen a drawdown in the Daily Active Addresses, suggesting activity related to them has declined. More specifically, the metric has dropped to 202,300 for USDT and 109,300 for USDC. Both these values are the lowest that they have been since December. Stablecoins occupy a different spot in the sector than volatile assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum; investors use them when they want to stash their capital away from the volatility associated with the other cryptocurrencies. Because of this reason, stablecoins are often considered to represent the “dry powder” sitting on the sidelines in the digital asset sector. Whenever these tokens are on the move, it means investors are either stashing away capital or injecting it into the volatile side. Given that the Daily Active Addresses has plunged for the Ethereum blockchain version of USDT and USDC recently, it would appear that there isn’t much demand for stablecoin-related swaps right now. Interestingly, this trend has come alongside a recovery surge in Ethereum and other assets. As such, it’s possible that the volatility could soon ignite fresh activity in the space. As Santiment explained: With Bitcoin making good momentum today and pushing toward $75K, expect for traders’ buying power to pick up a bit as they look to take more chances. More volatility means more ‘dry powder’ being moved. Related Reading: Huge XRP Bull Market Ahead?

Morgan Stanley’s freshly launched Bitcoin exchange-traded fund pulled in nearly $62 million within its first week of trading — a debut that landed in the middle of the strongest week for crypto investment products in three months. Related Reading: TRUMP Buying Frenzy Builds Ahead Of Mar-A-Lago Power Event Macro Shifts Fuel The Comeback That broader rebound was driven by more than one firm’s market entry. Crypto funds globally attracted $1.1 billion in net inflows for the week ending April 11, according to asset manager CoinShares. The turnaround came after five straight weeks of outflows that drained roughly $4 billion from the market and left investor sentiment battered heading into April. CoinShares head of research James Butterfill pointed to two specific triggers: early ceasefire signals out of Iran and a softer-than-expected US inflation reading. Both helped ease nerves that had kept institutional money on the sidelines. US investors led the charge. Based on CoinShares data, American buyers accounted for $1.06 billion — about 95% of total global flows for the week. US spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed the largest share, pulling in $833 million, per data from Farside Investors. Bitcoin And Ethereum Both Draw Fresh Money Bitcoin funds worldwide attracted $871 million. Ethereum, which had recorded outflows for three consecutive weeks before this, saw $196.5 million flow back in. Weekly trading volumes climbed 13% to $21 billion, though that number still sits well below the year-to-date average of $31 billion, reports indicate. The positioning among big investors told an interesting story. At the same time institutions were buying into Bitcoin and Ethereum, short-Bitcoin products — funds that profit when Bitcoin’s price falls — recorded $20 million in inflows. That was the highest single-week total for those products since November 2024. Money was moving in, but some of it was being used as a safety net. XRP funds, which had briefly outpaced Bitcoin the previous week with nearly $120 million in inflows, cooled significantly. Reports show XRP investment products brought in a little over $19 million during the same period. Morgan Stanley Moves Deeper Into Crypto Beyond the weekly numbers, Morgan Stanley’s expanding footprint in the space drew attention. The bank has already filed for Ethereum and Solana ETFs following its Bitcoin fund launch.

Ethereum is trading just below $2,400. The market is seeing relief. And over the past 48 hours, US institutional investors briefly paid the highest premium for Ethereum they have paid since October — before pulling back almost as quickly as they arrived. Related Reading: Ethereum Profit-Loss Indicator Is Hovering Just Below Neutral – The Market Waits for A Catalyst An Arab Chain report tracking the Coinbase Premium Index for Ethereum has identified a two-day institutional demand signal that reframes the current recovery as something more than a broad market bounce. The index — which measures the price difference between Ethereum on Coinbase and Ethereum on Binance — reached approximately 0.055 over the past two days, its highest reading since October 2025. When Coinbase trades above Binance, it means US institutional investors are bidding more aggressively for ETH than the global market. At 0.055, they were bidding at a six-month extreme. The index has since retreated to approximately 0.006. The premium has narrowed. The institutional urgency that briefly drove it has eased. That two-day arc — surge then retreat — is the development that demands interpretation. Institutional demand arrived at Ethereum in force, reached a six-month high, and then moderated. Whether that sequence describes demand satisfied and pausing, or demand tested and withdrawing, is the question the current price level cannot answer on its own. The Institutions Arrived. Then They Stepped Back. Both Facts Matter Equally The Arab Chain report gives the two-day sequence its structural interpretation. The index reaching 0.055 was not a routine fluctuation — it reflected a significant and measurable influx of institutional liquidity entering the Ethereum market, specifically through Coinbase. During that period, ETH was trading at a genuinely higher price on Coinbase than on Binance, meaning US institutional investors were willing to pay more for Ethereum than the global market was pricing it. That premium does not exist by accident. It exists because demand was outpacing supply on the institutional venue — buyers arriving faster than sellers could match them. The retreat to 0.006 is where the interpretation becomes more nuanced. The premium narrowing does not mean the institutional demand has reversed. It means the urgency has reduced. The gap between Coinbase and Binance has compressed because the pace of institutional buying has slowed — not because institutions have become sellers. That distinction is the most important analytical point the data supports. A surge followed by a moderation is structurally different from a surge followed by a reversal. The former describes demand that arrived, was partially satisfied, and paused. The latter describes demand that tested the level and retreated. The current reading of 0.006 sits close enough to neutral that it cannot yet confirm which story is being told. The next movement in the index — whether it rebuilds toward the 0.055 range or continues compressing toward zero — will be the answer the current data cannot yet provide. Related Reading: A Historic Ethereum Signal Just Fired – Discover What Happens Next Ethereum Approaches Resistance as Momentum Builds Ethereum is trading near $2,350–$2,400, extending its recovery from the February capitulation and testing a key resistance zone. The chart shows a constructive shift in short-term structure, with price forming higher lows and steadily pushing upward. This suggests that buyers are gradually regaining control after the sharp sell-off. However, the broader trend remains mixed. ETH is still trading below the 100-day (green) and 200-day (red) moving averages, both sloping downward and acting as dynamic resistance. The 50-day moving average (blue) has turned upward and is now supporting price from below, indicating improving momentum in the short term. Related Reading: Ethereum Mirrors A 2023 Setup As Buyers Take Control Of Derivatives On Binance Volume behavior adds nuance. The spike during the February decline reflects forced liquidations, while the recovery has been accompanied by moderate volume, suggesting controlled buying rather than aggressive accumulation. This type of price action is typically associated with early-stage recoveries rather than confirmed uptrends. The $2,400 level is critical. A sustained break above this zone would signal a shift in structure and open the path toward the $2,600–$2,800 region. Failure to break higher could result in another rejection and a return to the $2,100 support area. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

As Ethereum (ETH) retests a crucial support zone, Bitmine, the second-largest crypto treasury, has announced its latest ETH purchase, which pushed the company’s holdings closer to its ultimate goal. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) Retreats, Can Bulls Reclaim Upside Momentum? Bitmine Reaches Major 4% ETH Milestone On Monday, the largest Ethereum treasury in the world, Bitmine Immersion Technologies, revealed it had reached a major milestone after purchasing roughly $157 million of ETH in the past week. In its latest update, the company shared that it acquired 71,524 ETH over the past week, its highest pace of buys since the week of December 22, 2025. Bitmine’s Chairman, Tom Lee, detailed that the Ethereum treasury “has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’” Notably, the company has been ramping up its bet on the King of Altcoins over the past month, significantly increasing its average of 45,000-50,000 ETH purchases from previous weeks. Now, the company’s crypto and cash holdings have reached $11.8 billion at current prices, comprised of 4,874,858 ETH, 198 Bitcoin (BTC), a $200 million stake in Beast Industries, an $85 million stake in Eightco Holdings as part of its “Moonshots” initiative, and unencumbered cash worth $719 million. In addition, Bitmine’s Ethereum holdings have reached 4% of the total ETH supply. This represents a key milestone toward the company’s goal of controlling 5% of the leading altcoin’s 120.7 million supply, which is currently 81% complete. Last week, the treasury firm announced its uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) from the NYSE American on April 9, 2026, and the expansion of the share repurchase program to $4 billion. Ethereum Starts Q2 In Green In the weekly update, Lee also discussed ETH’s performance amid the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, noting that “this war remains the most important driver of global markets.” He highlighted that “ETH is now the best-performing asset since the start of the war, with a 17.4% gain and outperforming the S&P 500 by 1,830 basis points. And we believe ETH beating gold by 2,743 basis points demonstrates ETH is the wartime store of value.” “Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains,” he continued. Market observer Daan Crypto Trades pointed out that Ethereum started the quarter “slightly in the green so far,” with a 3.7% increase Quarter-to-Date (QTD), according to CoinGlass data. The trader noted that this quarter “is generally the best quarter, together with Q1, for Ethereum,” as it has ended in green eight out of ten times, with an average and median return of 58.3% and 15.3%, respectively. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Must Hold This Level Or Price Could Crash To $65,000 Again Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ted Pillows highlighted that ETH is back in its $2,150-$2,200 support zone after the weekend pump.

Nonetheless, they warned investors about a potential drop if momentum doesn’t hold. “We’ve seen that historical price action has not really been in Crypto’s favor the past year, so take everything with a grain of salt,” Daan cautioned.

Ethereum has been consolidating for weeks. Selling pressure is present. Uncertainty is higher. An Arab Chain analysis has identified a condition in the on-chain data that describes exactly what this market is doing — and why it cannot stay here indefinitely. Related Reading: Ethereum Mirrors A 2023 Setup As Buyers Take Control Of Derivatives On Binance The report tracks Ethereum’s Net Unrealized Profit and Loss on Binance — a measure of whether holders are, on average, sitting on gains or losses relative to their entry prices. The indicator currently sits at -0.053, holding near the neutral zone while Ethereum trades around $2,100. That reading describes a market in equilibrium: investors on Binance are neither panicking out of losing positions nor taking profits from winning ones. They are holding — and waiting. The behavioral picture that emerges from the data is specific. Volatility has declined. Panic selling is absent. Excessive optimism is equally absent. Short-term trading activity has reduced to the point where the market is generating neither the downward pressure of fear nor the upward pressure of greed. What remains is a market suspended between two states, maintained in place by the absence of a catalyst strong enough to break it in either direction. At -0.053, the indicator is not perfectly neutral. It is slightly underwater — a detail small enough to overlook and significant enough to matter when the next directional move begins. Stability Is Not the Same as Safety. It Is a Countdown The Arab Chain analysis draws the distinction that makes the current NUPL reading more significant than its proximity to zero suggests. The indicator’s persistence in slightly negative territory — holding at -0.053 without sharp movements in either direction — reflects a specific investor behavior: waiting. Not accumulating aggressively. Not distributing systematically. Waiting for a catalyst that has not yet arrived to clarify the direction that the data cannot currently confirm. That behavioral state has a historical profile. Periods where the NUPL holds near neutral without sharp deviations are typically associated with lower near-term risk — the absence of panic selling means forced exits are not driving price, and the absence of excessive optimism means unsustainable speculation is not inflating it. The market moves within narrow ranges because neither the fear that accelerates downside nor the greed that accelerates upside is present in sufficient force to break the equilibrium. The report identifies this condition as temporary by definition. Consolidation phases do not persist indefinitely — they persist until a catalyst resolves them. Ethereum stabilizing around $2,100 with NUPL hovering near neutral, and no sharp movements in the indicator reflect a market that has found a temporary balance between supply and demand. The word that matters in that sentence is temporary. The balance is real. Its duration is not guaranteed. When the catalyst arrives — macro clarity, a demand surge, a shift in sentiment — the indicator will move, and the narrow range that has contained Ethereum’s price will expand in the direction the move takes it.

The chart shows a clear shift from aggressive selling to controlled consolidation, with price forming higher lows since the bottom near $1,800. This suggests stabilization, but not yet a confirmed reversal. Technically, ETH remains below all major moving averages. The 50-day (blue) is flattening and beginning to act as short-term support, while the 100-day (green) and 200-day (red) continue to trend downward above price, reinforcing overhead resistance. Recent attempts to break higher have stalled below the $2,300–$2,400 zone, indicating persistent supply. Related Reading: XRP Supply Is Thinning, and Leverage Is Absent. Learn What Happens When One Of Those Changes Volume dynamics support this interpretation. The spike during the sell-off reflects forced liquidations, while the subsequent decline in volume points to reduced participation. The current recovery lacks the expansion in volume typically associated with strong trend reversals. Structurally, Ethereum is compressing beneath resistance. The range between $2,000 and $2,300 is tightening, with neither buyers nor sellers showing dominance. A break above $2,400 would signal a shift in momentum and open a move toward the 100-day average. Conversely, losing $2,000 would invalidate the recovery structure. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum has been consolidating below $2,200 for weeks. The selling pressure is real. The uncertainty is higher. And the participants who hold enough ETH to move markets just crossed back into profit, which, in the history of this asset, has never happened quietly. Related Reading: Ethereum Mirrors A 2023 Setup As Buyers Take Control Of Derivatives On Binance A CryptoQuant analyst tracking the behavior of Ethereum’s largest holders has identified a transition that demands attention precisely because of how rarely it occurs. The cohort holding more than 100,000 ETH — wallets large enough that their decisions do not just reflect the market, they influence it — briefly entered an unrealized loss state as Ethereum’s price declined. They have now returned to profitability. That sequence matters for a specific structural reason. When whale-sized holders are underwater, they face a choice between absorbing the loss and selling to prevent it from deepening. The market lives under that overhead. Every session at the wrong price level is a session where the largest holders have an incentive to exit. When that cohort returns to profit, the incentive structure inverts — they are no longer potential sellers defending a loss, they are holders with gains and no urgency to move. Every Time. Without Exception. Until Now, Nobody Was Watching The analyst’s historical reading is the element that transforms the current whale profitability transition from a data point into a signal. In the entire recorded history of Ethereum, every single instance where this cohort — holders of more than 100,000 ETH — crossed from an unrealized loss state back to a profitable state marked the beginning of a rally. Not in most instances. Not the majority. Everyone. That is not a tendency. It is a pattern with a perfect track record across every market cycle Ethereum has experienced. The corrections, the bear markets, the prolonged consolidations — each one produced at least one moment where the largest holders briefly went underwater before recovering. And each one of those moments, without exception, preceded upward movement. The analyst’s conclusion is stated without embellishment: that historic signal has appeared again. What that means for the current consolidation below $2,200 is not a guarantee — no signal in financial markets carries certainty, and the macro environment remains genuinely uncertain. What it means is that the on-chain condition that has historically marked the beginning of Ethereum rallies is now present, for the first time since the current correction began. The pattern has never been wrong. The question is whether this cycle is the first time it fails — or the latest time it does not. Related Reading: Capital Is Rotating From Bitcoin To Ethereum – On-Chain Data Shows It Is Not Over Ethereum Holds Critical Weekly Support as Structure Tightens Ethereum is consolidating near the $2,150–$2,200 region on the weekly timeframe, a level that is increasingly acting as a structural pivot. After the rejection from the $4,000–$4,500 range in late 2025, ETH entered a corrective phase that found support just above the 200-week moving average (red), preserving the long-term trend despite the volatility. The current structure reflects compression rather than continuation. Price is trading between the 100-week (green) and 200-week moving averages, while the 50-week (blue) has flattened and is beginning to turn slightly upward. This convergence of key averages signals a market in equilibrium, where neither buyers nor sellers have clear control. Related Reading: XRP Supply Is Thinning, and Leverage Is Absent. Learn What Happens When One Of Those Changes Importantly, the recent downside wicks into the $1,700–$1,800 zone were met with strong buying, indicating demand remains active at lower levels. However, upside attempts have stalled below the $2,400–$2,600 region, reinforcing that resistance remains intact. Volume patterns align with this interpretation. Spikes during sell-offs suggest liquidation-driven moves, while the current normalization indicates reduced stress but limited conviction. Structurally, Ethereum is coiling within a broad range. A break above $2,500 would confirm strength, while a loss of $2,000 would expose deeper support. For now, the market remains balanced, awaiting resolution.

Ethereum may be closer to a major turning point than it appears, as key technical signals begin to align. Despite recent weakness, the emergence of a death cross, often seen near the end of downtrends, suggests the market could be approaching its final phase of capitulation. With historical patterns pointing to a nearing bottom, attention is shifting from fear to opportunity. Worst-Case Scenario: Final Phase Of The Bottoming Process In outlining a worst-case scenario for Ethereum, crypto analyst Sykodelic explained that if the market has not yet fully bottomed, it is likely in the final 2%–3% of the overall bottoming process. Such a narrow margin suggests that while some downside risk may remain, the majority of the correction has already played out, placing price action near a potential exhaustion point. Related Reading: Analyst Shares ‘Realistic’ Ethereum Price Targets For The Next 3 Years Historical behavior tied to the Death Cross on the 3-day chart further supports this perspective. In past cycles, Ethereum has either bottomed right at the moment of the death cross or very shortly afterward. Only one instance deviated slightly, with the market taking additional time before forming a final low. A death cross occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, indicating a market that is deeply compressed and overextended. While often interpreted as a bearish signal, in many cases, it marks the late stages of a downtrend, where selling pressure begins to fade, and long-term buyers gradually step in. If Ethereum follows this historical pattern under a worst-case scenario, the final bottom could emerge roughly 54 days after the death cross, placing the projected timing around April 28. Expecting a significantly longer bottoming phase would be inconsistent with past cycles and may be unlikely, especially considering that the current market expansion has been relatively weak. With downside likely limited and the bottoming phase nearing completion, the focus increasingly shifts toward strategic accumulation rather than panic selling. ETH Struggles Below Key $2,300 Resistance Zone According to Chad, Ethereum is still not ready to break above the upper daily Bollinger Band and the key horizontal resistance zone around $2,300. Price continues to struggle in this region, showing repeated signs of rejection, which suggests that bullish momentum remains insufficient for a sustained breakout. Related Reading: Ethereum Mirrors A 2023 Setup As Buyers Take Control Of Derivatives On Binance So far, market structure is unfolding as expected, with key levels being respected on both sides. The inability to reclaim the $2,300 zone reinforces the idea that ETH is still in a consolidation phase. Attention now shifts to the downside, where a crucial confluence area sits around $2,150. This level combines a strong horizontal support zone with the 20-day SMA, making it a key level to watch. A breakdown below this region could open the door for further downside, while a successful hold may signal stability and set the stage for another attempt at higher levels.

Ethereum price started a fresh decline and traded below $2,250. ETH is now consolidating above $2,175 and might struggle to recover. Ethereum started a downside correction from the $2,330 zone. The price is trading below $2,220 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2,210 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above the $2,140 zone. Ethereum Price Dips Again Ethereum price failed to remain stable above $2,250 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below the $2,220 and $2,200 levels. Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2,210 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair traded as low as $2,176, and is currently consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,329 swing high to the $2,175 low. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,175, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,210 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,235 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,250 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,329 swing high to the $2,175 low. A clear move above the $2,250 resistance might send the price toward the $2,290 resistance. An upside break above the $2,290 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,320 resistance zone or even $2,350 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,235 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,175 level. The first major support sits near the $2,140 zone. A clear move below the $2,140 support might push the price toward the $2,110 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,060 region. The main support could be $2,020. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now below the 50 zone.

An analyst on X has made a bold call on Ethereum, stating that the asset is on the verge of a parabolic move. The claim is based on a golden triangle formation on the chart, a setup that shows a breakout could be approaching for the leading altcoin. This approaching breakout could also serve as the driving force for a broader altcoin market rally. Related Reading: Cardano In Danger Zone? Trader Drops ‘Time Bomb’ Claim Golden Triangle Pattern 9 Years In The Making Technical analysis of Ethereum’s 3-week chart stretching back to 2017 shows the cryptocurrency trading within a narrowing triangular structure. The pattern is defined by a rising lower trendline anchored from the March 2020 Covid crash low and a horizontal upper trendline connecting the rally peaks of 2021, 2024, and 2025. Over nearly a decade of price action, ETH has repeatedly respected both boundaries, with bounces within the narrowing range. This has led to the formation of a golden triangle, which is a macro structure with a better possibility of resolving to the upside. As it stands, the ETH price is trading at the lower end of this formation in what looks like a higher low compared to the lowest price in 2025. The projected move shows a bounce from this level that eventually pushes Ethereum to break above resistance and transition into an upward parabolic move. The projected breakout path on the chart shows ETH exiting the apex of this triangle to the upside, with a parabolic rally that climbs above $12,000 and beyond by 2027 to 2028. This move is expected to spill into other cryptocurrencies with a huge rotation that supports an altcoin season. Ethereum’s Golden Triangle. Source: @zenkaixbt On X $2,800 As The Next Stop While the Golden Triangle analysis looked at the macro context, analyst Crypto Feras has identified a more immediate target that could cement the first significant milestone of any sustained recovery. The analysis is based on the 3-day candlestick chart, and it is centered on the idea that Ethereum’s current structure is more important than short-term headlines. As noted by the analyst, Ethereum has maintained a consistent 3D pattern on higher time frames since February, even as markets reacted to external shocks, most especially the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This consistency has led to the same creation of a higher low compared to the 2025 bottom that respects a rising support line. This rising diagonal support line, visible in the chart below, connects the lows of 2022, 2023, and 2025, and each of those cycle bottoms preceded substantial rallies. Ethereum Price Chart. Source: @CryptoFeras On X The 2022 low produced a 91.72% recovery, the 2023 low was followed by a 167.79% rally, and the 2025 low was followed by a 223% rally.
