Ethereum is trying to hold above $2,150. The market is waking up. And in the last hour, someone withdrew $82 million in ETH from an institutional prime brokerage — and the identity of that someone is the question the on-chain data is already trying to answer. Related Reading: XRP Has Never Been This Quiet On Binance. Discover If The Silence Is A Warning or a Setup Arkham Intelligence has tracked a transaction that stands out against the current market backdrop: a fresh wallet withdrew approximately $82 million in ETH from FalconX within the past hour. FalconX is not a retail exchange. It is an institutional prime brokerage serving hedge funds, corporate treasuries, and sophisticated market participants, which immediately narrows the probable actor and elevates the significance of the withdrawal. The mechanics of the move matter as much as the size. A withdrawal from FalconX means ETH leaving an institutional custody and settlement venue — not being sold, not being traded, but being moved into a wallet that its owner controls directly. That is accumulation behavior. That is the action of a participant who has decided the current price is where they want to hold, not where they want to exit. At $2,150, Ethereum is defending a level the market has treated as contested. Someone just committed $82 million to the view that it is worth defending. The Wallet Is Anonymous. The Behavior Is Not Arkham’s data goes beyond identifying the transaction. It identifies the signature behind it. The purchase pattern of the fresh wallet — the withdrawal route through FalconX, the transaction sizing, the timing and structure of the move — matches the known acquisition patterns of Bitmine, the digital asset treasury company led by Tom Lee, one of the most publicly recognized institutional voices in the crypto market. That match is not a confirmation. It is the strongest available signal short of one. On-chain forensics does not produce certainty when a wallet is fresh and unattributed — but it does produce pattern recognition, and the pattern here is specific enough to be meaningful rather than coincidental. What Bitmine has been doing in recent months makes the potential attribution significant beyond the $82 million figure itself. The company has been building one of the most aggressive institutional ETH staking and accumulation strategies visible on-chain — repeatedly acquiring ETH through institutional channels, moving it into custody, and locking it in staking contracts rather than returning it to liquid markets. Its total staked ETH position has reached into the billions, representing a sustained, compounding removal of supply from the market at a pace that few institutional actors have matched. If this withdrawal follows that pattern, $82 million more in ETH just left the liquid market permanently — not temporarily held, but committed. The Ethereum Foundation stopped selling and started staking. Bitmine, if the pattern holds, never stopped accumulating. Related Reading: Real Money Is Buying XRP. Leveraged Traders Are Still Shorting It. Discover What Usually Happens Next Ethereum Reclaims $2,100 but Remains Capped by Overhead Resistance Ethereum is attempting to stabilize above $2,150, but the daily structure still reflects a market in recovery mode rather than trend reversal. The February breakdown was decisive, with price losing the $2,600–$2,800 region on heavy volume and accelerating into a capitulation move below $2,000. That event reset positioning and established the current range. Since then, ETH has formed a base between roughly $1,900 and $2,300, with multiple failed attempts to push higher. The recent move back above $2,100 is constructive, but it remains incomplete. Price is still trading below the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages, all of which are trending downward and acting as layered resistance above. Related Reading: XRP Whales Move $592 Million From Exchanges In Two Days. Discover What Triggered It What stands out is the character of the recovery. The bounce from the lows was sharp, but follow-through has been limited, with price repeatedly stalling near the 50-day average. Volume has also declined compared to the sell-off phase, suggesting that buyers are not yet stepping in with the same conviction that sellers displayed during the breakdown. The key level to monitor is $2,300. A clean reclaim would open the path toward $2,600. Failure to hold $2,100 risks another test of the $1,900 range, where structural support becomes critical again.

Ethereum has reclaimed $2,100. The level is back. The market that produced the recovery is thinner than it has been all year — and that changes what the recovery means. Related Reading: XRP Has Never Been This Quiet On Binance. Discover If The Silence Is A Warning or a Setup A CryptoQuant report tracking Ethereum’s liquidity structure on Binance has identified a condition that sits directly beneath the price action: the liquidity ratio has dropped to approximately 5.01 — its lowest reading since the start of 2026. Simultaneously, the 30-day cumulative turnover has fallen to approximately 16.65 million ETH, well below the 20 to 25 million ETH monthly inflow levels that characterized Ethereum’s most active trading periods in 2025. The implication is structural and immediate. Ethereum reclaiming $2,100 in a market with deep liquidity and high participation is one thing. Reclaiming it in a market where trading activity has pulled back to year-to-date lows is another. The same price level, built on a fraction of the volume, carries a different weight — lighter, more reactive, more vulnerable to a reversal from a single large order in either direction. The number is constructive. The infrastructure behind it demands scrutiny. Both things are true simultaneously, and that tension is the most important thing to understand about where Ethereum stands right now. The Supply Is There. The Activity Is Not. That Distinction Matters More Than It Appears The report’s most clarifying data point is the one that separates two possible interpretations of the liquidity decline. Ethereum exchange reserves on Binance currently stand at approximately 3.32 million ETH — a level that has remained relatively stable compared to previous months. That stability is the diagnostic. If the liquidity decline were driven by coins leaving the platform, reserves would be falling. They are not. What is falling is the activity surrounding those reserves — the inflows, the outflows, the trading volume that normally circulates around available supply. In plain terms: the ETH is still on Binance. The traders who would normally be moving it have stepped back. That distinction changes the interpretation entirely. This is not a supply compression story. It is a participation story — a market that has retained its inventory but lost the activity that gives that inventory directional meaning. Momentum has weakened not because Ethereum is being accumulated or distributed at scale, but because the participants who generate price-moving volume have temporarily withdrawn. Related Reading: Real Money Is Buying XRP. Leveraged Traders Are Still Shorting It. Discover What Usually Happens Next The report’s forward observation is the one that demands the most attention. Periods of low liquidity — where reserves are stable but activity is suppressed — have historically preceded strong price movements in either direction. The market is not broken. It is coiled. When activity returns to 3.32 million ETH sitting in relative quiet, the price response will be amplified by the same thin conditions that currently make the $2,100 recovery feel fragile. The direction of that amplification is what the coming sessions will determine. Ethereum Holds Critical Long-Term Support as Momentum Remains Fragile Ethereum’s weekly structure shows a market attempting stabilization after a clear loss of momentum. Price is currently trading near $2,150, hovering just above the 200-week moving average — a level that continues to act as the dividing line between long-term bullish structure and deeper downside risk. The rejection from the $4,000–$4,500 region marked a decisive lower high, breaking the prior sequence of expansion. Since then, ETH has lost both the 50-week and 100-week moving averages, which are now flattening and beginning to slope downward. That shift signals a transition from trend continuation to range or distribution. Related Reading: XRP Whales Move $592 Million From Exchanges In Two Days. Discover What Triggered It What stands out is the nature of the recent recovery. The bounce from sub-$2,000 levels was sharp, but it lacked sustained follow-through. Price has reclaimed $2,100, yet it remains below the 100-week average and is struggling to challenge the 50-week moving average as resistance. Volume does not confirm aggressive accumulation at current levels. Instead, activity appears reactive — spikes during sell-offs, followed by quieter rebounds. That asymmetry suggests sellers still dominate directional conviction. If Ethereum loses the 200-week average on a weekly close, the structure weakens materially, opening the path toward lower support zones. Conversely, reclaiming $2,600–$2,800 would be required to re-establish a more constructive trend. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin and Ethereum prices are still trending low coming out of the weekend, and there is the possibility that this could continue this new week. A number of developments have hit the crypto market recently that could deepen the already negative sentiment surrounding the crypto industry. Thus, with Bitcoin and Ethereum being the foremost digital assets in the space, they could be hit first by the wave of negative news coming out of the market. US-Iran War Is Far From Over: Bitcoin, Ethereum Prices Could Crash Back in February 2026, the United States had attacked Iranian military forces, leading to what is now known as the US-Iran war. Since then, tensions have remained high, the financial markets have suffered greatly as a result, and risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum have not been left out. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sentiment Hits 5-Week Fear Level – Is A Reversal Coming? In the month that followed the initial attack, there had been talks of a ceasefire. However, President Donald Trump, in his latest address, completely dashed the hopes of a ceasefire. According to a report from SoSoValue, this has now pushed things toward escalation, rather than a resolution. With President Trump dismissing the need for global oil and leaving the Strait of Hormuz to be guarded by other nations, oil prices are expected to ramp up higher during this time. In addition, there is the expectation of interest rate hikes, and this could negatively affect the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices during this time. Crypto Market Hit By Another Hack With the move into the bear market and Bitcoin and Ethereum prices crashing, attacks on the crypto market seemed to have slowed down. That is, until now, when news of the DRIFT Protocol hack broke during the weekend. According to reports, the Solana protocol had been targeted by North Korean threat actors, who eventually succeeded. In jus 12 minutes, these bad actors were able to infiltrate the protocols wallets and make away with $285 million, with the attack attributed to the Lazarus Group. Naturally, the movement of liquidity out of the market remains a major concern given that Bitcoin and Ethereum are already suffering from low liquidity. The DRIFT token also crashed 40% once the news broke, leaving the market in a state of shock. On-chain sleuth ZachXBT also took to X to call out Circle for failing to act while the USDC from the DRIFT attack was being moved across over 100 transactions. The funds have since been moved from Solana to Ethereum, leaving users wondering as to what is being done to protect against these threat actors. Related Reading: Why XRP Supply Crashing On Coinbase Is A Good Thing For The Price Sentiment Falls Toward Record Levels Another factor that could drive down the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices is the fact that investors are still very wary of putting money into the market. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently sitting in the Extreme Fear territory, which marks a time of low liquidity and participation in the market. If sentiment does not begin to improve and liquidity does not flow back into the market, then the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices could continue to decline. This could trigger a cascading event where investors panic-sell in order to reduce losses, thereby leading to a steep decline. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum price managed to stay above $2,020 and recovered losses. ETH is now rising and might attempt a move above the $2,150 resistance. Ethereum started a decent upward move above the $2,065 zone. The price is trading above $2,080 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,065 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh decline if it stays below the $2,150 resistance. Ethereum Price Aims Higher Ethereum price remained stable above $2,020 and started a decent upward move, beating Bitcoin. ETH price climbed above the $2,050 and $2,065 resistance levels. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,065 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The bulls pumped the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,168 swing high to the $2,017 low. Ethereum price is now trading above $2,080 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,065, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,140 level or the 83.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,168 swing high to the $2,017 low. The first key resistance is near the $2,150 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,180 level. A clear move above the $2,180 resistance might send the price toward the $2,220 resistance. An upside break above the $2,220 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,350 resistance zone or even $2,380 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,150 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,080 level. The first major support sits near the $2,065 zone. A clear move below the $2,065 support might push the price toward the $2,020 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,980 region. The main support could be $1,965. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone.

The price of Ethereum has been hovering around $2,000 for nearly a month, with the technical structure showing no clear path to recovery. According to the latest on-chain data, the “King of Altcoin” is witnessing a rare signal that could mean that it is at the beginning of a positive trend. ETH Net Taker Volume Suggests Potential Bullish Price Trend In an April 4 post on the social media platform, pseudonymous market analyst Darkfost revealed that the Ethereum derivatives market is experiencing a regime shift for the first time since the last bear phase. This market outlook revolves around the change in the Net Taker Volume metric in recent weeks. Related Reading: Chainlink Price Lags Under $9: Large Binance Inflows Suggest Further Sell-Side Pressure The Net Taker Volume metric is an on-chain indicator that tracks the difference between the buying and selling volume of market orders in the derivatives market of a particular cryptocurrency (Ethereum, in this case). The metric is used to evaluate whether buying or selling pressure is the prevalent force in the market at a given time. When the value of the Net Taker Volume metric rises and turns positive, it indicates that buying volume is more significant than the selling volume. On the flip side, a negative value suggests that sellers are overwhelming the buyers in the Ethereum derivatives market. According to CryptoQuant data highlighted by Darkfost, volume from buyers appears to be prevailing in the Ethereum derivatives market, with a positive difference of over $104 million. This shift of the metric into the positive territory is happening for the first time in the past three years. The crypto analyst noted that the price of Ethereum was under intense selling pressure even as it climbed to new all-time highs. However, the market regime seems to be changing for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Darkfost mentioned that the positive buying pressure being experienced by Ethereum could contribute significantly to the formation of a strong bottom and potentially a foundation for a bullish market structure. “If this dynamic persists and the spot market and ETFs begin to support the move, Ethereum could potentially restart a positive trend,” the analyst concluded. Ethereum ETFs Record Negative Outflow For Third Consecutive Week The US-based Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted another period of negative performance over the past week. According to the latest market data, the spot Ethereum ETFs saw over $42.15 million withdrawn over the past week. Notably, the crypto-linked investment products saw a total net outflow of more than $71.12 million on Thursday, April 3, reflecting the waning investor demand and appetite. As earlier inferred, the direction of the ETH ETFs’ capital flow needs to change if the price is to enjoy a sustained recovery. As of this writing, the price of ETH stands at around $2,058, reflecting a 0.6% leap in the past 24 hours.

Adoption of Bitcoin and Ethereum is poised to take a significant step forward as Charles Schwab introduces direct trading for both assets on its platform. As one of the largest financial institutions in the world, managing trillions in client assets, Schwab’s entry into the crypto space represents a major bridge between traditional finance and digital assets. What Schwab’s Move Means For Bitcoin And Ethereum Liquidity A $12 trillion asset, Charles Schwab, is preparing to launch direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for users. Crypto commentator Leolanza revealed on X that the development highlights a broader trend that traditional financial platforms are making it easier for everyday investors to buy crypto through the same systems they already use for stocks and ETFs. Related Reading: Markets On Edge: $16.4B In Bitcoin And Ethereum Options Expire Set To Today By enabling crypto trading directly within a familiar brokerage platform, Schwab is reducing friction and expanding access for more capital to flow into both BTC and ETH. The intersection between quantum computing and crypto is drawing closer, as a new blockchain has been launched specifically to resist quantum attacks. Crypto trader MANDO CT has noted that while this may sound futuristic, the risk being addressed is increasingly viewed as legitimate within the industry. Today, leading networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum rely on encryption that is highly secure under current technological limits, but could be vulnerable in the future if a significant breakthrough in quantum computing advancements occurs. While the risk still feels distant to most investors, the groundwork to address it is already being laid. Mando CT pointed out that narratives in crypto rarely wait for full clarity until the risk becomes obvious. Instead, they tend to build gradually before reaching a tipping point. Similar to how Artificial Intelligence evolved from early signals into a dominant global trend, quantum-resistant technology could follow the same trajectory. Transforming Blockchain Into A Developer Ecosystem The evolution of blockchain technology is the progression of ideas built upon the foundations laid by Bitcoin. Analyst Dave highlighted that BTC introduced the world to a decentralized, censorship-resistant digital money that operates outside traditional financial systems. It established the core principles of sound money and financial sovereignty. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Are Struggling Again, And Here’s What’s Behind It Building on that foundation, ETH learned from BTC by adding smart contracts, enabling developers to create platforms for decentralized applications and unlocking new possibilities in programmable finance and digital assets. Cardano took these ideas further by focusing on a rigorous research-driven approach and scalability, and combining BTC’s security with ETH’s flexibility. Dave highlights its focus on sustainability, decentralized ecosystem governance by its community, scarcity, and reliability. However, a solid foundation with integrated upgradeability is not just for enterprises, but is capable of government adoption. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview.com
An interesting technical outlook frames the current Ethereum price action as a range-bound environment on the higher timeframe, where patience is going to dictate the next move. The Ethereum price action is now at a sensitive zone, and according to crypto analyst Minga, the path to a genuine cycle bottom requires one more leg down, and the levels that need to be wiped out before a macro bottom are defined. Related Reading: Standard Chartered Sees Bitcoin Exploding To $500K By 2030 ETH Trading In A Multi-Year Range Technical analysis of the weekly candlestick timeframe chart shows that Ethereum is consolidating within a broad macro range whose boundaries are defined by two extremes: the 2021 all-time high at $4,877 on the upper end and the 2022 bear market low at $878 on the lower end. According to crypto analyst Minga, the way to trade such a range-bound market is as easy as can be: trade level to level. Interestingly, the ETH has followed a predictable sequence while trading within this range. The price swept the 2021 all-time high, rejected a little bit above to create a new all-time high of $4,946, and has been in a downtrend since. The most recent move saw the Ethereum price fall into an untapped monthly low around $1,750 in February, where buyers stepped in and pushed ETH back upward. That bounce, however, lacked follow-through. The rally stalled in the $2,300 range in March, and it subsequently retraced and printed acceptance below $2,151. As it stands, Ethereum is now back to trading around $2,000, which is an important psychological level. This, in turn, places the Ethereum price in what can only be described as the no man’s land of the range, where the next directional move can go either up or down. Ethereum Price Chart. Source: @Mingarithm On X A Brief Rebound Or A Direct Move Lower? The analyst identified the $2,151 price level as a major pivot point. Price action recently attempted to reclaim this level but failed, showing clear rejection. That rejection keeps bearish continuation on the table for now. As long as ETH remains below $2,151, the path of least resistance appears tilted to the downside. A successful reclaim, however, would change the short-term outlook. Minga pointed to a move to $2,395 if that happens, where there is a fair value gap. Minga’s downside expectation is to play out in two stages. The first stop is $1,537, where there is a cluster of weekly equal lows (labeled “EQLs” on the chart above), creating an obvious liquidity target. Minga expects this level to be taken, though $1,537 will not be where Ethereum’s macro bottom forms. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Gaining Ground, Could Soon Surpass Gold—Analyst The true bottom target is much deeper. For a legitimate cycle bottom, Minga is watching for a sweep of $1,384, the previous structural low. Even more notably, Minga highlights the $1,190 to $1,148 zone as the most likely region for a macro bottom to form. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
On Friday, April 3rd, the Ethereum Foundation staked over 45,000 Ether (ETH) tokens on the smart contract platform. This latest staking action brings the total amount of ETH locked by the foundation to roughly 69,500 coins, about 500 Ethers short of the foundation’s 70,000 staked ETH goal. Ethereum Foundation Stakes 45,000 Ether In A Single Day According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the Ethereum Foundation has continued to stake its coins and is now on the verge of reaching its 70,000 staked ETH target. This milestone came into sight on Friday after a series of transactions, a total of 45,000 ETH, with each consisting of 2,047 ETH, pushed the foundation towards the goal on Friday. Related Reading: XRP Price Completes Q1 In The Red Again, But Prior Performance Says A Surge Is Coming Blockchain analytics data shows that the ETH transfers, which were worth over $92.2 million, went from the Ethereum Foundation’s treasury to the Ethereum Beacon Deposit Contract for staking. The foundation started staking portions of its Ether holdings in February after its treasury strategy policy change last June. The foundation wrote in its fresh treasury policy: We have, for a long time, simply held ETH, but are now increasingly moving into staking and DeFi, both to enhance financial sustainability and to support a key application category that is delivering on the promise of permissionless secure access to base civilizational infrastructure for millions of people today. The EF staked 2,016 ETH, worth approximately $4.1 million in February, and then followed up with another 22,517 ETH, valued at about $46.1 million, in March. Now, data from Arkham Intelligence shows that the Ethereum Foundation has locked more than $143 million in ETH in the Ethereum Beacon Deposit Contract so far. As part of its updated strategy, the EF shared that it will periodically sell Ether to cover the deviation of the treasury’s fiat-denominated assets from the Opex Buffer. Most recently, the organization announced the completion of a 5,000 ETH sale in an over-the-counter deal. However, it appears that the foundation is now changing strategy by locking up its ETH to generate yield rather than selling to cover expenses. This move comes after significant pressure from the Ethereum community. Ethereum Price Overview The price performance of ETH has been a constant source of worry for the Ethereum community over the past few months. The second-largest cryptocurrency is currently 60% down from its all-time high price of $4,946 reached in August 2025. As of this writing, the price of ETH sits just above the $2,000 level, with no significant change in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the altcoin is up by more than 2% in the last seven days.

Ethereum could outpace Bitcoin by a wide margin over the next four years — at least according to one of the most bullish forecasts to come out of traditional banking. That is the view from Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, who laid out the projection in a recent podcast appearance. Ethereum’s Potential Gain Towers Over Bitcoin’s While Bitcoin grabs the bigger headline number, the math actually favors Ethereum. Kendrick’s base case puts Bitcoin at $500,000 by 2030 — roughly 7.5 times its current price of $66,400. Ethereum, sitting at $2,034, would need to hit $40,000 to meet his target. That works out to about 20 times its current value. In other words, Ethereum holders would see nearly three times the relative return compared to Bitcoin investors, if the forecast holds. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stumbles Hard: The Worst Q1 In Years Raises Big Questions Kendrick flagged the ETH/BTC ratio as one indicator to watch. That ratio currently sits at around 0.03. His outlook has it climbing to 0.04 in the near term, a signal that Ethereum would be gaining ground on Bitcoin in relative terms. He also offered a more immediate checkpoint: if Bitcoin gets back to $100,000 by the end of 2026, Ethereum should be trading near $4,000. That would represent gains of roughly 50% for Bitcoin and 95% for Ethereum from where both assets currently stand. Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered: “I’ve got $500K Bitcoin by 2030 and $40K Ethereum by 2030 – a massive outperformance.” That’s ~20x on $ETH from here. pic.twitter.com/p7dFwPrTzG — Milk Road (@MilkRoad) April 1, 2026 Banks Are Choosing Ethereum First One reason why Kendrick believes in the bullishness of Ethereum is that the financial sector has been joining the blockchain revolution. From Kendrick’s point of view, large asset management firms and banks usually begin their blockchain ventures by developing products based on Ethereum since it has a reputation for safety and reliability. For instance, BlackRock started creating blockchain products using Ethereum first before venturing into other blockchain networks. This pattern, Kendrick argues, gives Ethereum a durable edge. As more institutions follow the same playbook, demand for the network could build steadily through the end of the decade. He described this as the “first phase” of real-world adoption playing out primarily on Ethereum, even if activity eventually spreads to competing blockchains. Related Reading: XRP Could Soon Enter Arizona’s Treasury — Here’s What’s Happening Network Usage Seen As A Price Driver Beyond institutional adoption, Kendrick pointed to raw network activity as a key factor in his price outlook. Rising transaction fees on Ethereum-based applications are seen as a gauge of demand. As stablecoins, decentralized finance, and tokenized real-world assets continue to grow on the network, that increased usage could push the token’s value higher. The forecast was shared during an interview on the Milk Road podcast with host John Gillen. Standard Chartered has not publicly released a formal research note tied to these specific figures, but Kendrick’s comments drew wide attention across the crypto community following the appearance.

The foundation’s latest staking allocation mirrors its biggest-ever single-day move and is a major step-up from its initial February deployment.
A crypto analyst has made a bold projection, suggesting the Ethereum price could reach a staggering $10,000. According to him, this is the minimum level that ETH could read, underscoring his confidence in the cryptocurrency’s bullish outlook. The analyst has cited strong fundamental and technical indicators that support his optimistic prediction. Current sentiment surrounding Ethereum is unclear, with its Fear and Greed Index in the neutral range, even while volatility remains in the fear zone. This mixed market reaction comes as the cryptocurrency has been facing bearish headwinds, even as it remains resilient and holds above the $2,000 level. Why The Ethereum Price Could Hit $10,000 Notably, crypto analyst Sykodelic on X has emphasized how strong Ethereum’s fundamentals and structure are, even amid market volatility and shifting sentiment. He has disclosed his strong bullish stance on ETH’s price outlook, forecasting that the cryptocurrency could hit $10,000 at a minimum. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Crash Update: Analyst Forecasts Fall To $600 If This Happens Supporting his bold projection, Sykodelic explained that for the past five years, the Ethereum price has been moving sideways in a High Time Frame (HTF) range. He noted this long-term horizontal range has built a very strong base, and now ETH is showing clear signs of a breakout that could fuel a powerful upward move to new all-time highs. The analyst cited reasons for his optimistic outlook, noting that the stronger and longer the base, the bigger the breakout potential. He stated that, at present, Ethereum has one of the largest bases of any digital asset in the world. He also highlighted technical indicators that support his bullish forecast. Looking at his accompanying chart, Sykodelic noted that Ethereum’s one-month Relative Strength Index (RSI) has reached historically low levels that have marked major price reversals in the past. He said Ethereum is currently at the bottom of its multi-year channel, suggesting it is consolidating around support and could be poised for a significant price rally. The analyst has stated that these factors suggest that the potential for gains far outweighs the downside risks for traders positioning for the next breakout. He believes that Ethereum’s next attempt to break out of its current base could be the one that propels its price to $10,000, representing a more than 400% surge from current levels. Analyst Dismisses $950 Breakdown Target Following the post, one crypto member forecasted that Ethereum will likely experience another price crash to $950 before it begins its rally to $10,000. Quickly responding, Sykodelic dismissed the bearish forecast, highlighting that there is no basis for expecting such a steep drop in ETH. Related Reading: Analyst Shares A Good Way To Know When Ethereum Has Hit A Bottom He noted that if Ethereum falls to this level, it would mark its lowest-ever monthly RSI reading after its weakest expansion. Given his confidence in Ethereum’s bullish potential, the analyst likely views such a scenario as unrealistic under current market conditions. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
The Ethereum Foundation's staking strategy could reduce market sell pressure, potentially stabilizing ETH prices and fostering ecosystem growth.
The post Ethereum Foundation on track to hit 70,000 ETH staking goal after latest deposits: On-chain data appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
The Ethereum Foundation has increased its staked ETH by about $46.64 million, bringing its total staked holdings to roughly $96.59 million. This move reflects a strategic shift from earlier periods of selling ETH to now prioritizing network participation and earning staking rewards. By doubling down on staking, the foundation aims to bolster Ethereum’s security and …
Ethereum price is back in focus as the token has been holding a crucial support range at $2000, regardless of the growing bearish pressure. It is also outperforming Bitcoin, which is undergoing a horizontal consolidation. Moreover, the on-chain data suggests that the ETH price is experiencing massive selling pressure across derivative markets. Despite this, the …
Bitcoin price today faced a sharp setback after a U.S. address in Iran triggered a global risk-off reaction, dragging prices down nearly 6% within hours. The move pushed BTC below the crucial resistance levels, with price now struggling under the $69,000 mark and failing to break the $72,500–$73,000 zone. Adding to the uncertainty, markets are …
Data shows the Ethereum Open Interest observed a sharp jump before the cryptocurrency’s price saw a decline of almost 5% over the past day. Ethereum Has Seen Bearish Price Action Over The Last 24 Hours This week saw some recovery for Ethereum and the wider digital asset sector during its first three days, but Thursday has brought with it a shift as the market as a whole has retraced. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bollinger Bands Tighten—Big Move Brewing? Ethereum had managed to recover above $2,150, but following this decline, its price is back near $2,000. In terms of the 24-hour percentage change, the ETH price has seen returns of nearly -5%, worse than Bitcoin’s 3% drop, but better than the losses that some of the altcoins have witnessed. Derivatives markets data may have already foreshadowed this volatility. ETH Open Interest Surged On Wednesday As highlighted by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in an X post yesterday, Ethereum saw a sharp surge in its Open Interest alongside the recovery rally. The “Open Interest” here refers to an indicator that measures the total amount of derivatives market positions related to ETH that are currently open on all centralized exchanges. When the value of the indicator rises, it means investors are opening up fresh positions related to the cryptocurrency. Generally, the total leverage in the market goes up when new positions appear, so an increase in the Open Interest can lead to more volatility for the asset’s price. On the other hand, the metric going down implies investors are either closing positions of their own volition or getting forcibly liquidated by their platform. In either case, the market can become more stable due to the leverage washout. Below is the chart for the 24-hour change in the Ethereum Open Interest that Maartunn had shared on Wednesday. As displayed in the graph, the Ethereum Open Interest rose by 7.1% as the price surge occurred, implying that new positions appeared to ride the wave. In the chart, the analyst also highlighted past instances of the metric going up sharply. It would appear that many of these coincided with local tops in the asset. “This setup plays out ~75% of the time,” noted Maartunn.

The drawdown has meant that the investors who jumped in to bet on a further bullish outcome have been flushed out. In total, ETH has seen liquidations of more than $94 million over the past day, according to data from CoinGlass. From the heatmap, it’s apparent that Ethereum’s liquidations have been the largest in the cryptocurrency sector, with Bitcoin ranking second this time around with $83.8 million in contracts involved.

Ethereum is tightening into a critical zone near the $2,000 level as price action continues to compress without clear direction. With volatility steadily declining and pressure building on both sides, the current structure suggests that a decisive move, either a breakout or breakdown, could be just around the corner. Momentum Fails To Build On Ethereum Ethereum is currently in a very different position compared to the broader market, as it has never experienced a strong, sustained rally. CyrilXBT noted that ETH briefly spiked to $2,400 in mid-March but has been trending downward ever since. The move failed to establish continuation, and the price has gradually weakened. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Drops to $2,100, Shaking Confidence Amid Volatility Currently, Ethereum is hovering around the 200 EMA, near $2,104, which provides a slightly constructive signal. Rather than breaking down aggressively, the price is compressing, suggesting that the market is building energy for a potential move. $1,800 remains the key level to watch, acting as critical macro support that has yet to be tested. The $2,300–$2,500 region continues to act as a major resistance zone, and any upside move lacking strong volume is likely to be dismissed as noise. A decisive daily close above $2,200 would be the first meaningful sign of strength. Until then, the outlook remains neutral, with close attention on the $2,000 level as the next important test if buyers lose control. Ethereum Trades Within High-Timeframe Range Boundaries According to Minga’s latest update, Ethereum is currently trading within a high-timeframe range, with the upper boundary defined by the 2021 all-time high and the lower boundary anchored at the 2022 bear market low. Thus, Minga suggests that the most effective approach is to trade level to level, respecting key zones rather than anticipating extended trends. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Recovery Picks Up, Is a Breakout Now Brewing? A closer look at the chart shows that ETH swept the 2021 ATH, faced rejection, and has been trending downward since. Along the way, ETH took out an untapped monthly low around $1,750, triggering a push back toward the $2,300 region, but momentum faded as price slipped back below $2,151. Currently, Ethereum is near the midpoint of this broader range, rejecting a significant historical level. The $2,151 zone stands out as a key bullish/bearish continuation level, having acted as both support and resistance in the past. Rejection from this area keeps downside pressure intact. However, a successful reclaim could open the path toward $2,395, where an untapped fair value gap remains. On the downside, the next major level to watch lies around $1,537, where weekly equal lows are positioned. While ETH may hit the level, it is not expected to mark the ultimate bottom. For a broader macro reversal, a sweep of the $1,384 low is anticipated, with a potential extension into the $1,190–$1,148 region, which stands as the primary target for a cycle bottom.

Ethereum price failed to stay above $2,120 and extended losses. ETH is now struggling to stay above $2,040 and might continue to move down in the near term. Ethereum started a fresh decline from the $2,150 zone. The price is trading below $2,120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2,075 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh decline if it stays below the $2,120 resistance. Ethereum Price Dips Further Ethereum price failed to continue higher above $2,120 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price declined below $2,075 and $2,050 to enter a bearish zone. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2,075 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The price traded as low as $2,016. It recently corrected some losses and traded above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,167 swing high to the $2,016 low. However, the bears remained active near the $2,075 resistance zone. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,065 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,020, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,075 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,100 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,167 swing high to the $2,016 low. The next major resistance is near the $2,120 level. A clear move above the $2,120 resistance might send the price toward the $2,150 resistance. An upside break above the $2,150 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,220 resistance zone or even $2,250 in the near term. More Losses In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,075 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,020 level. The first major support sits near the $2,000 zone. A clear move below the $2,000 support might push the price toward the $1,980 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,965 region. The main support could be $1,920. 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. Major Support Level – $2,020 Major Resistance Level – $2,120
The ongoing tensions in the Middle East continue to put immense pressure on Bitcoin and other risk assets. As investor sentiments turn increasingly cautious, analysts are weighing the potential impact of rising oil prices on Bitcoin. The overall outlook is not looking good, with projections suggesting further downside for the leading cryptocurrency. A clearer path to recovery may only appear if regional tensions ease. Surging Oil Prices Could See Bitcoin Crash Harder Market analysts have shared their thoughts and concerns with The Block about the ongoing US-Iran war and its impact on financial and crypto markets. Rachel Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets, has emphasized that the Bitcoin price continues to fluctuate amid new developments in the Middle East conflict. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Is Crashing, And Why It Could Continue Lucas noted that Bitcoin has had a volatile week, rising to $72,000 as investors hoped for a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing war. He noted that these gains were quickly reversed as optimism faded and concerns over oil supply resurfaced. This, in turn, triggered a “classic risk-off unwind,” in which investors pulled back from risky assets like Bitcoin and moved to safer investments amid fear. The analyst also explained that the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz is fueling concerns about inflation. These fears make it unlikely that the Federal Reserve will lower rates anytime soon, limiting opportunities for economic relief. Consequently, uncertainty and tighter financial conditions are adding further pressure on the crypto market, contributing to the recent decline across major assets. Expressing similar concerns, market expert Jeff Mei has taken a bearish stance on Bitcoin amid persistent tensions in the Middle East. The analyst stated that oil prices will likely remain elevated, which could slow economic growth in the months ahead. According to Mei, the combination of rising energy costs and weaker economic conditions means that crypto prices still have lots of room to decline. He projected that Bitcoin could even face another price crash to $60,000 before any sustained recovery. Notably, most bearish forecasts for Bitcoin clustered around the $60,000 level, suggesting that experts may see this as Bitcoin’s final price bottom. Analysts at Bernstein have also confirmed this price floor ahead of its $150,000 projected surge in the next bull cycle. Retail Investors Remain “Fearful” Lucas has also emphasized that retail investors are currently showing signs of fear, with many either hedging their positions or waiting on the sidelines for the market to stabilize and show clear direction. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index reflects this hesitation, as broader market sentiment stays neutral. Related Reading: The Last Time Bitcoin Sentiment Was This Bad Was 2022, But There Was A Silver Lining At the same time, the crypto Fear and Greed Index shows that the entire market is in extreme fear territory.

Ethereum is fighting to hold $2,000. The market is volatile. And the reason has nothing to do with on-chain data, exchange flows, or technical levels — it has to do with what Donald Trump said yesterday. Related Reading: $11.4 Billion in XRP Has Left Binance. Here Is What Happens When Demand Returns Analyst Darkfost has placed the current Ethereum price action in its proper context: this is a geopolitical event, not a crypto event. Markets around the world were positioned for a de-escalation speech regarding the US-Iran conflict. What they received was the opposite. Trump made clear his intention to complete the mission within two to three weeks, stating explicitly that the United States would strike Iran strongly if necessary. The market that had priced in peace repriced in minutes. The sequence of damage was fast and sequential. US Treasury bonds moved higher as capital fled to safety. The S&P 500 erased $500 billion in market capitalization within minutes of the remarks — not hours, not a session, minutes. And then the shock reached crypto. Ethereum did not cause this move. It absorbed it. The $2,000 level that had held through weeks of internal market pressure is now being tested by a force that no amount of on-chain accumulation or supply compression can neutralize on its own — geopolitical fear at scale. $1 Billion in One Hour. That Is Not Volatility. That Is a Verdict Darkfost’s data on the Ethereum derivatives market removes any ambiguity about what happened. Within a single hour of Trump’s remarks, more than $1 billion in sell volume flooded into ETH derivatives. Of that, $968 million landed on Binance alone — the exchange currently processing the largest trading volumes in the industry. The market did not drift lower. It was hit. The immediate price consequence has been a 4–5% correction on the day. That number understates what actually occurred. A billion dollars in derivatives selling in sixty minutes is not a repricing — it is a stampede. The participants who moved that volume were not reassessing Ethereum’s fundamentals. They were covering risk, unwinding leverage, and responding to a geopolitical development that none of their models had priced. What comes after a shock of this kind is rarely linear. Darkfost’s assessment of the broader market environment is direct: extreme uncertainty and volatility are now the operating conditions, not the exception. Price action will remain erratic. The signals that normally guide positioning — on-chain flows, exchange reserves, moving averages — are temporarily subordinate to a macro variable that has no chart. In conditions like these, the advice is not sophisticated. Reduce exposure. Limit leverage. Wait for the dust to settle before making decisions that assume any level of near-term predictability. The market is not broken. It is frightened, and frightened markets punish overconfidence fastest. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Are Selling While Corporations Bought 62,000 BTC In Q1 Alone. Here Is What That Split Means Ethereum Stabilizes Below Resistance After Sharp Breakdown Ethereum is trading around the $2,000–$2,100 range after a sharp decline in February that disrupted its prior structure and shifted momentum decisively to the downside. The chart shows a clear breakdown from the $3,000 region, followed by a high-volume sell-off that pushed price into a lower trading range. Since that move, ETH has entered a consolidation phase, forming a base between approximately $1,900 and $2,200. This range reflects short-term stabilization, but not strength. Price remains below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, both of which are trending downward and acting as dynamic resistance. The 200-day moving average sits significantly higher, reinforcing the broader bearish structure. Related Reading: XRP Is Quietly Leaving Binance. A Hidden Signal Says Something Is Building Beneath It Volume dynamics support this interpretation. The initial breakdown was accompanied by a spike in volume, suggesting forced selling or aggressive distribution. In contrast, the current consolidation is occurring with lower volume, indicating reduced participation and limited conviction from buyers. Attempts to push above $2,200 have repeatedly failed, producing lower highs within the range. This suggests that sellers are still active on rallies. For momentum to shift, Ethereum would need to reclaim short-term moving averages and break above this local resistance zone with strength. Until then, the structure favors continuation or prolonged consolidation. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
The ETH price is booming under the hood while barely moving where it actually counts. Sitting around $2,130, Ethereum looks… fine on the surface.

Tokenized Brent oil futures on Hyperliquid generated about $46.6 million in liquidations in 24 hours, making oil the third‑most liquidated asset after ether at $104.5 million, and Bitcoin at $98.3 million. Hyperliquid’s Oil Perps Dethrone Bitcoin The single largest liquidation across all assets in the past 24 hours was not Bitcoin or Ethereum, but a $17.17 million Brent oil position on Hyperliquid, according to Binance Square. This marks the second time in under a month that oil has produced the biggest individual wipeout on a crypto venue. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Puts Wall Street Onchain — Will This Warp Crypto Volatility Next? The report also claims that there is a total of $403 million dollars in liquidations across 137,031 traders, with longs taking roughly $234.6 million in losses versus $168.7 million for shorts, following CoinGlass data. The cascade followed President Trump’s national address vowing to hit Iran “extremely hard”, which reversed the trader’s expectations of a de‑escalation and sent Brent crude above $106 after a 5% intraday jump.

Therefore, the classic cross-asset macro trade that many traders had blew up because the correlations flipped unexpectedly at the worst possible moment. Traders longing crypto and shorting oil were hit on both sides when oil spiked and risk assets sold off, turning hedges into amplifiers of loss. Tokenized Commodities Take Over The Crypto Market The BRENTOIL‑USDC perp on Hyperliquid traded around $107.19, with $977 million in 24‑hour volume and $515 million in open interest, a figure larger than many mid‑cap tokens’ market caps. As of right now, things have changed a little bit. BRENTOIL is trading for around $109 in the leading perp DEX, with $736 million in 24-hour volume and almost $540 million in open interest. The 24-hour change rate is of 7%. BRENTOIL's price and principal markers on Hyperliquid. Source: Hyperscreener. Hyperliquid’s on‑chain commodity markets now act as a 24/7 outlet for trading oil, gold and other macro assets with crypto‑style leverage, and they’re soaking up a disproportionate amount of geopolitical shock. Since the conflict began, tokenized oil has ranked among the five most‑liquidated instruments on the platform at least three times. Takeaways For Traders Positioning across Bitcoin, Ethereum and Real World Assets (RWAs) can no longer be siloed. When a shock hits one leg (like oil), it can trigger margin calls that force liquidations across the entire account, including BTC and ETH, even if those positions looked unrelated on paper. Correlation trades (long BTC, short oil) can unwind violently around event risk.

While Ethereum (ETH) and XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) ended March in negative territory, Bitcoin (BTC) funds recorded their best monthly performance of the year despite weak market sentiment and geopolitical tensions. Related Reading: Analyst Forecasts More Pain For XRP In Q2 – How Much Lower Can It Go? Bitcoin ETFs End Negative Spell Bitcoin ended the first quarter of 2026 by breaking out of a five-month negative streak, closing with a positive performance for the first time since September 2025. The flagship crypto has been in a downtrend over the past six months, retracing over 50% from its October all-time high of $126,000. As its price closes the month in green, US spot BTC-based ETFs have also ended a multi-month negative spell on Tuesday. According to SoSoValue data, the funds pulled in $1.32 billion in March, registering their first monthly gain in 2026. The category has been registering outflows since November, with cumulative outflows of around $6.3 billion until February. Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF Institute, previously highlighted that spot Bitcoin ETF investors have “largely displayed diamond hands” despite the ongoing market correction and negative sentiment. As reported by NewsBTC, Geraci argued that the funds’ cumulative outflows since the October 10 crash were insignificant compared to the $56 billion in cumulative total net inflows the category has experienced since its January 2024 debut. Despite the positive monthly close, BTC ETFs ended a four-week inflow streak after investors pulled out $296.18 million from the investment products. Additionally, the funds ended Q1 on a negative note, as March inflows couldn’t offset the $1.81 billion redemptions from January and February. Therefore, spot Bitcoin ETFs closed the first quarter of 2026 with $496 million in outflows, their second-worst quarterly performance after Q4 2025’s $1.15 billion cumulative outflows. Solana Leads Altcoin ETFs Performance Similar to Bitcoin, Solana (SOL) ETFs closed March on a positive note and led altcoin-based funds, with inflows worth $45.44 million. This performance brought SOL investment products’ quarterly inflows to $213.1 million. Notably, the category has not seen monthly outflows since its launch in October 2025, printing six consecutive months of inflows. Following this performance, Solana ETFs are near the $1 billion milestone, currently having cumulative net inflows of $979.3 million. Nonetheless, Ethereum funds tell a different story, closing the month with $46 million in outflows. Unlike Bitcoin, the second-largest cryptocurrency extended its negative streak to five months, recording total outflows worth $3.21 billion since November. In addition, ETH investment products saw $769 million outflows in Q1. CoinShares recent report noted that Ethereum led all assets in outflows last week, shedding over $200 million for the second straight week, which may signal that institutional demand for the second-largest cryptocurrency has been slowing.

Analyst Says BTC’s Final Shakeout Is Near Meanwhile, XRP funds recorded their first monthly outflows after investors pulled $31.3 million from the ETFs. The category has recorded a remarkable performance since launching in November, with over $1.24 billion in inflows in the first four months. It’s worth noting that despite the March setback, XRP ETFs saw positive net flows worth $42.52 million during the first quarter of 2026, only behind Solana funds.
