Despite rolling out a large number of upgrades and innovations, the Ethereum price continues to lag behind Bitcoin (BTC) by a wide margin. Reports reveal that ETH has suffered a staggering 77% price crash against BTC — a decline likely fueled by a mix of technical, macro, and sentiment-driven factors. Notably, On-chain analytics platform, Santiment has now pinpointed and broken down the key reasons behind these price struggles. Ethereum Price Nosedives Against Bitcoin On April 11, Santiment released a detailed report on Ethereum, highlighting its almost four-year underperformance and the reasons behind it. Ethereum, once revered as the cryptocurrency most likely to dethrone Bitcoin, has recently suffered a brutal price decline when measured directly against BTC. Related Reading: Ethereum Pain Is Far From Over: Why A Massive Drop To $1,400 Could Rock The Underperformer According to Santiment’s on-chain data, Ethereum has crashed by approximately 77% against Bitcoin since December 2021. While the dollar value of ETH hasn’t completely collapsed, especially compared to other altcoins, the long-term BTC/ETH ratio still paints a gruesome picture for Ethereum holders. Notably, Ethereum has also failed to recover anywhere near its November 2021 all-time high of $4,760. In contrast, Bitcoin has surged ahead, reclaiming much of its market dominance and outpacing ETH across almost every timeframe. This disparity has led many traders and former maximalists to compare ETH to a “shitcoin.” Even worse, various mid to low-cap altcoins have already outperformed Ethereum over the short, mid, and long-term timeframes, causing further embarrassment for the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Based on Santiment’s report, the ETH/BTC price ratio chart alone is enough to trigger doubt and uncertainty among long-term holders. Behind The Scenes Of Ethereum Price Struggles Beyond price action and market volatility, Santiment reveals that there are fundamental reasons for Ethereum’s sluggish performance over the years. Some of the major criticisms that analysts and traders have pinpointed include technical, sentimental, and regulatory issues. Related Reading: Ethereum Goes Head To Head With XRP: Analyst Says ETH Will Outperform For This Reason Ironically, Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions are one of the key drivers of its underperformance. L2 solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync are reportedly cannibalizing activity on the mainnet, taking investments from ETH while spreading investor attention thin. Secondly, Ethereum seems to struggle with complex roadmaps and communication, which has led to investor confusion. Major updates like The Merge and Shanghai have been difficult for investors to comprehend, making ETH feel less accessible than BTC. Thirdly, users remain frustrated by Ethereum’s relatively high gas fees and the slow rollout of key upgrades. This has pushed them toward more affordable and faster alternatives, significantly reducing adoption. Another primary reason for Ethereum’s crash against Bitcoin is ongoing regulatory concerns. Unlike Bitcoin, which has a more established legal precedent, Ethereum faces constant uncertainty about whether it could be labeled a security. Other points include ETH’s lack of investment appeal. While Bitcoin maintains the title as a stable digital gold, Ethereum appears to be caught in between, having no clear or attractive investment narrative. Moreover, newer blockchains like Solana and Cardano are also attracting a significant number of users with cheaper and faster solutions, ultimately pulling investments away from ETH. The final reason Santiment has identified for Ethereum’s long-term price descent is rising selling pressure. Post-upgrade withdrawals of stakes ETHs have created steady sell-side pressure, limiting growth and momentum compared to Bitcoin. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum (ETH) prices have surged by over 3% in the past day in line with a bullish upswing across the broader crypto market. However, Ethereum on-chain data reveals the altcoin has stumbled in a range-bound market hinting at a potentially prolonged sideways movement. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Show Conviction: 63% Of Supply Hasn’t Moved In A Year Ethereum Trapped In $1,548 – $1,599 Range – Glassnode In a recent post on X, prominent blockchain analytics firm Glassnode reports that Ethereum is trading in a tight range between $1,548 and $1,599. This development is revealed by the asset’s cost basis distribution (CBD), which shows the various price levels at which current ETH holders bought their coins. CBD is an important on-chain metric used to identify potential support or resistance levels based on the accumulation levels seen at price zones. According to Glassnode, a combined 1.53 million ETH, valued at $2.4 billion, was acquired between $1,548 and $1,599 indicating a high level of investor interest at these price regions. In particular, 793,900 ETH currently in circulation was purchased at $1,548, ultimately transforming this price floor into a major support zone for the current Ethereum price. Meanwhile, 732,400 ETH is held by investors at $1,599 representing a significant price barrier to any upward price movement. Interestingly, Ethereum has tested both price zones over the past day failing to produce either a price breakout or breakdown. Considering the accumulation level at both prices, the altcoin might maintain a range-bound movement barring the introduction of a market catalyst. Interestingly, such price behavior would align with the broader market uncertainty amidst unstable macroeconomic factors and tightening liquidity conditions. Related Reading: XRP Price Flashes Symmetrical Triangle From 2017, A Repeat Could Send It as Flying To $30 Important Ethereum Support Forms At $1,461 In other developments, Glassnode also notes that Ethereum bulls are building a critical support zone at $1,461 at which 380,000 ETH, valued at $595.8 million have been acquired. In the case of any breakdown from the current consolidation zone, this price level is expected to act as the next major support preventing any further downside. However, a daily price close below $1,461 could cause ETH to trade as low as $1,400 or $1,200. At the time of writing, Ethereum trades at $1,562 reflecting a 3.35% gain in the past 24 hours. However, the ETH market remains in a deep corrective phase with 14.56% and 18.45% losses in the last seven and thirty days, respectively. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume has declined by 34.06%, indicating a fall in market participation and a potential reversal of the recent rally, which would allow Ethereum to maintain a range-bound movement.

Even with the Ethereum price struggling amid the market downturn, there are still some who remain bullish on the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. One of those is pseudonymous crypto analyst NotWojak, who took to the TradingView website to share a rather bullish prediction for the Ethereum price that goes contrary to the current market sentiment. Bearish Ethereum Price Downtrend Coming To An End The Ethereum price is still stuck in an apparent downtrend. However, according to the crypto analyst, this could be ending anytime soon with two supply zones coming up. So far, there have been multiple liquidity sweeps across major levels, sending the Ethereum price towards lower lows. Nevertheless, this could turn bullish soon as they could suggest a reversal is coming for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: This Crypto Analyst Predicted The Bitcoin Price Crash At $97,000, He Just Released Another Forecast Currently, the two supply zones called out by the analyst are the $1,425 and $1,600 level. As they explain, the $1,425 level has already been mitigated during the latest retracement. So, this leaves only the $1,600 level unmitigated. As such, this could easily turn this level into resistance in the event of an uptrend. Despite sellers still dominating currently with high volumes pouring into the market, the crypto analyst puts the bottom before $1,350. In this case, this level could be potential support and the breakout could begin from here. The target for this major breakout has been placed 20% above the current level, with the analyst setting a high $1,835 target. This could lead to further upside, especially if resistances are easily cleared from here. ETH On-Chain Ethereum’s profitability has plummeted with the price decline as only 32% of all investors are seeing any profit on their positions. On the other side, 65% of all holders are in losses and only 2% are sitting at breakeven price, according to data from the on-chain data aggregation website, IntoTheBlock. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Rounded Bottom Within Descending Channel, Target Set Above $3 Ethereum whales have also been very active during this time and this could mean that large investors have been behind the selling that has crashed the ETH price. Large transactions rose from $4.8 billion to $6.48 billion by April 9 as the Ethernet price dropped back below $1,500. Average transaction size also grew during the this time from $4,048 to $5,415. This suggests that investors are moving more coins at the time, which could explain the increased selling that has plagued the cryptocurrency. If this continues, then the ETH price could see further crashes from here. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price was trending at $1,544, down 4.56% in the last day.

An Ethereum whale has dumped its ETH holdings after holding them for over two years, even through a bull market. This capitulation from the ETH whale suggests it might be a good time to offload the leading altcoin, with a further crash in the coming weeks a possibility. Ethereum Whale Dumps 10,000 ETH After 900 Days In an X post, on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that an Ethereum whale finally capitulated after holding for over 900 days, selling all their 10,000 ETH for $15.71 million. This whale had originally bought 10,000 ETH for $12.95 million at an average price of $1,295 on October 4 and November 14, 2022. Related Reading: Ethereum Pain Is Far From Over: Why A Massive Drop To $1,400 Could Rock The Underperformer The Ethereum whale didn’t sell any of their ETH holdings, even when the leading altcoin broke through $4,000 twice in 2024. However, the whale has now capitulated with the Ethereum price below $1,500, nearing their average entry price of $1,295. The investor sold the coins for a $2.75 million profit, while their unrealized profit was $27.6 million at its peak. This Ethereum whale isn’t the only one who is capitulating. As Bitcoinist reported, ETH whales have dumped over 500,000 coins in the space of 48 hours. This development is thanks to Ethereum’s massive crash, with the leading altcoin at risk of dropping lower. This decline is part of a broader crypto market crash, which has occurred due to Donald Trump’s tariffs. Trump’s tariffs have led to a major trade war with China, which has promised not to back down, further sparking concerns among investors. As such, the Ethereum price looks more likely to suffer a further crash in the meantime, which explains why these Ethereum whales are capitulating to cut their losses. Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial Also Capitulating? Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI), an Ethereum whale, looks to be feeling the heat and might have already started capitulating. Citing Arkham Intelligence’s data, Lookonchain revealed that a wallet possibly linked to WLFI sold 5,471 ETH for $8.01 million at the price of $1,465, representing a loss for the whale in question. Related Reading: From Solana To Ethereum? Donald Trump’s World Liberty Spends $20 Million On ETH World Liberty Financial had previously bought 67,498 ETH for $210 million at an average price of $3,259. The crypto firm is now sitting on an unrealized loss of $125 million, seeing as the Ethereum price has declined by over 50% since their purchases. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez predicts that the Ethereum price will crash further in the short term, indicating that Ethereum whales like WLFI could witness more unrealized loss on their ETH holdings. Martinez stated that $1,200 could be where the leading altcoin finds its footing. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $1,400, down over 8% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The Bitcoin price continues to lead the market and with each crash, it has taken down the altcoin market with it. Amid this, Ethereum has performed especially poorly, returning to prices not seen since seven years ago. As Donald Trump’s tariff situation rocks the market, the question on everyone’s lips is, where is the Bitcoin price headed from here? Market Experts Chime In On Bitcoin Price Crypto market sentiment has tanked to levels not seen in years with the Bitcoin crash into the $ 70,000 territory, and according to many, the battle is far from over. One of the experts who have said that the Bitcoin price could stay low during this time is Alex Guts, CEO of Banxe. Related Reading: Ripple Announces $1.25B Acquisition Of Hidden Road To Set Major Milestone According to Guts, the BTC price could continue to trade in a tight $72,000-$84,000 range during this time. Looking over for the long-term, the CEO sees “prospects staying bullish as adoption and policy support grow.” On the same note, while Trump’s policies and tariff wars have caused the markets to tank, expectations remain that this could be good for the markets in the long term. In an analysis shared with NewsBTC, a Bitunix expert analyst pointed out that what the Trump administration is doing is “igniting a regulatory renaissance for crypto.” He points out that all of the President’s actions since he took office have shown this, especially with his empowerment of crypto leaders. So, despite the market being down now, Trump’s moves could end up igniting further growth for the market. The Bitunix analyst warns that investors should not allow the news of the tariff wars to cloud their judgment. He outlines that sometimes it is imperative to implement new things in order to fix what is broken, likening it to ‘taking medicine’. As for where the Bitcoin price could be headed next from here, the expert analyst told NewsBTC: “Well, the recent price drop in major cryptocurrencies has worried retail investors, but we believe that Bitcoin could potentially reach $117k after the dust settles.” The Sad State Of Affairs Of ETH/BTC Despite being the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world, the Ethereum price has performed poorly, especially in comparison to Bitcoin. Looking at the ETH/BTC chart, there seems to be no support in sight as the crash continues.

For a turnaround for Ethereum, it seems major news would have to come out to propel a recovery. Otherwise, the lack of support suggests that Ethereum holders have more turbulence ahead of them to deal with. Featured image from Dall.E, Chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum is facing renewed downward selling pressure, with the entire crypto market entering a fresh downtrend in the past 24 hours. This renewed selling pressure has seen the Ethereum price lose a strong support level at $1,800, causing it to fall by about 14.5% from its price 24 hours ago at the time of writing. The trading trend shows that the Ethereum price is about to break below $1,500, with one analyst even suggesting a potential break to $1,000. Yet, despite the sharp decline, technical patterns suggest the possibility of Ethereum revisiting much higher price levels upwards to $3,933, specifically to fill multiple CME futures gaps that are still open above. Ethereum Breaks Below Key Support, Larger Breakdown Ahead The loss of the $1,800 support has strengthened the bear case for Ethereum, especially amid broader weakness in the altcoin market. One of the more blunt takes comes from crypto analyst Andrew Kang, who argued that the price of Ethereum is actually overvalued. He described Ethereum’s $215 billion market cap as “ridiculous” for what he calls a “negative growth/profitability asset.” Related Reading: Analyst Reveals Bullishness On Ethereum Price At This Point, Can It Hit $4,000 Again? According to Kang, the momentum of speculative winds that used to ignite Ethereum’s price surge has run dry, and a revisit of the $1,000 to $1,500 zone is not only likely but overdue. What adds weight to Kang’s warning is how quickly the market appears to have validated his concerns. Since his statement, Ethereum’s market cap has dropped significantly, sliding to $186.5 billion at the time of writing. Although the decline is due to other market factors, the pace and depth of this decline suggest that investor confidence in Ethereum may be lower than expected, with no immediate signs of reversal in sight. If bearish pressure continues, Ethereum could soon find itself trading at the lower end of Kang’s projected range at $1,000. CME Gaps Above $2,500 Offer A Technical Outlook For Rebound Even as price action trends lower, Ethereum’s CME futures chart tells a different story. Titan of Crypto pointed out that three distinct CME gaps are unfilled above the current market level. These include a gap between $2,550 and $2,625, another between $2,890 and $3,050, and a partially filled third gap between $3,917 and $3,933. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Hits 300-Week MA For The Second Time Ever, Here’s What Happened In 2022 The CME gap theory is rooted in the observation that asset prices often return to fill these voids, even if the move takes weeks or months. In the case of Ethereum, the odds of a return to the CME gaps are very low in the short term. However, considering Q2 2025 is only just starting, there is still enough time to witness the buying pressure needed to fill these levels before the end of the year. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,540, down by 14.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

The low trading volume following the breakdown and its retest is raising concerns about a potentially strong correction coming up soon. ETH Dominance Chart Shows Concerning Pattern Beyond the immediate price action, ETH’s market dominance is also showing warning signs. According to Bit Bull’s analysis, the ETH dominance chart has formed a descending triangle pattern, which typically signals bearish momentum. “A retest toward the upper trendline is likely, but after that, we could see another move down,” Bit Bull added in his market commentary. This weakening dominance implies that investors might be losing faith in Ethereum over other cryptocurrencies, adding further selling pressure in the weeks ahead. On-Chain Data Validates Negative Trend The bearish argument isn’t only in chart structures. On-chain statistics also reveal a negative outlook for Ethereum’s near-term prospects. Active Ethereum addresses have declined drastically in the last few months, aligning with the price fall. Other red flags are the significant drop in Ethereum fees burned and a reduction in fees burned per transaction. Most troubling to long-term holders is probably the rise in ETH supply following the Merge event, which was initially anticipated to introduce deflationary pressure.

Standard Chartered has insisted that Ethereum will hit $4,000 by the end of the year, although that is a 60% drop from their previous more optimistic $10,000 target. As of the latest available data, Ethereum is priced at about $1,803, with a less than 1% variation in the last day. The weekly charts indicate a similar slight drop of about 1%, indicating the cryptocurrency might be building a consolidation base despite the bearish signals.

Crypto analyst Doctor Profit, who called the Ethereum price dump, is now providing a bullish outlook for ETH. Based on his analysis, now might be a great time to buy Ethereum, which has so far underperformed other top cryptocurrencies. Analyst Says ETH Is Now Undervalued Following Ethereum Price Dump In an X post, Doctor Profit stated that ETH is undervalued now following the Ethereum price dump. He noted that the leading altcoin is sitting at a historical support at $1,800, the same support he had predicted that ETH would dump to. With this massive correction and fear in the market driving Ethereum to this support level, the analyst claimed that the altcoin is undervalued now. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Forms Megaphone Bottom Not Seen Since 2020, Here’s What Happened Last Time His analysis suggests that now might be a great time to accumulate ETH as the Ethereum price could rebound from this historical support. Indeed, some investors are already using this massive correction as an opportunity to stack up more coins. IntoTheBlock data shows that Ethereum’s ‘Concentration’ metric is currently bullish, indicating that ETH whales are adding to their positions. Besides Doctor Profit, crypto analyst Astronomer also believes that ETH is currently undervalued and predicts that the Ethereum price could revisit $4,000. He highlighted several technical signals that indicate that the leading altcoin could reach these highs. The analyst also alluded to the $1,800 support, noting that this range has historically been a launch pad for price recoveries. However, crypto analyst Kledji has predicted that the Ethereum price could still drop to as low as $1,400 before rebounding. He stated that ETH will likely consolidate around this range for a while before it rallies to this $1,400 target later this month. His analysis suggested that the altcoin’s downtrend depended on Bitcoin’s performance. Therefore, if BTC recovers from this range, ETH will unlikely drop to that $1,400 level. ETH’s Dominance Is On The Decline, But History Could Repeat Itself In an X post, crypto analyst Rekt Capital revealed that ETH’s dominance has dropped from 20% to 8% since June 2023 as a result of the Ethereum price dump. He then noted that Ethereum’s dominance has historically reversed this 8% zone to become more market-dominant. The analyst then raised the possibility of history repeating itself, with ETH recovering well and enjoying a higher market dominance. Crypto analyst Crypto Patel is also confident that the Ethereum price will rebound soon. His accompanying chart showed that ETH could bounce from this $1,800 support and enter phase 3 of the Wyckoff chart, sending its price to as high as $6,800, a new all-time high (ATH).

Crypto analyst Klejdi has indicated that Ethereum’s pain is far from over, with the second-largest crypto by market cap set to suffer a further downtrend. Specifically, he warned that ETH could still drop to as low as $1,400 before it finds a bottom. Ethereum May Still Drop To As Low As $1,400 In a TradingView post, Kledji stated that Ethereum may drop to $1,400, providing a bearish outlook for the altcoin, which has underperformed other top cryptocurrencies. The analyst noted that ETH lost nearly 12% of its value within just three days after breaking out of its recent pattern last Friday. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Says Bears Will Continue To Dominate Ethereum Price, Here’s For How Long He further mentioned that Ethereum’s movement and the rest of the crypto market are closely tied to Bitcoin. As such, this ETH crash is likely to happen, seeing as the flagship crypto has dropped to $81,300 and is already showing signs of further decline. Klejdi highlighted in his accompanying chart that ETH will likely consolidate near its current level before continuing to move lower. However, the chart showed that the move to this $1,400 target will likely happen this month. In the meantime, the analyst believes it would be wise to wait for Ethereum’s price to form another bearish pattern before entering a trade. He again reaffirmed that there is a strong possibility that ETH may extend its drop to $1,400. Ethereum whales are already capitulating ahead of this projected price crash. Onchain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed an ETH OG that has sold off all its holdings. This investor bought 5,0001 ETH while trading at $277 in 2017 and didn’t sell when the altcoin hit its ATH during the last bull run. The whale started selling last month, possibly giving up on Ethereum making a comeback anytime soon. ETH Will Still Reach New Highs Crypto analyst Virtual Bacon is still confident that Ethereum will reach new highs. He noted that ETH is back at its key bear market breakout zone, retesting the $1,700 and $2,100 range. He predicts that the altcoin will continue to chop around this range in the short term. However, he remarked that Ethereum tends to catch up fast once the US Federal Reserve pivots and global liquidity turns. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Forms Megaphone Bottom Not Seen Since 2020, Here’s What Happened Last Time Crypto analyst Crypto Patel affirmed that Ethereum’s biggest run is coming. He stated that Q2 to Q4 of this year will be life-changing for ETH. The analyst added that this could be the cycle top window and advised market participants not to miss it. Crypto Patel advised that they should accumulate between $1,900 and $1,300 with the target of between $7,000 and $10,000 in mind.

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

The largest accumulation zone below the current market price now sits at $1,537, where nearly 994,000 ETH was acquired.

The Ethereum price has finally broken out of a months-long consolidation pattern, signaling the possible start of a significant bullish move. The recent breakout of an Ascending Triangle formation suggests that ETH is set for more gains, with a crypto analyst suggesting a price target of $7,800 in the coming months. Ethereum Price Targets $7,700 ATH The Ethereum price is believed to be targeting a new all-time high of $7,800 after its recent breakout from an Ascending Triangle. For months now, the cryptocurrency has been trading within this classic bullish chart pattern, where prices make higher lows while facing strong resistance at a fixed level. Related Reading: “Ethereum Is Not Dead”: Broadening Wedge Suggests Another Leg-Up Is Coming This consolidation pattern has been active since late 2024, establishing strong resistance at $4,000. TradingView analyst Sohaibfx has predicted that if Ethereum can surpass this resistance level, it would confirm a bullish trend, leading to a strong upward continuation in its price. Looking at the analyst’s price chart, Ethereum spent several months navigating between $2,000 and $4,000 in Q1 2025. This region represented an accumulation phase where buyers had quietly built their positions in anticipation of a potential rally. A descending channel marked in orange in the price chart also shows that Ethereum had experienced a significant pullback mid-to-late 2024 before breaking out. This was likely the final shakeout before it regained its bullish momentum. According to Sohaibfx, a measured move of the Ascending Triangle suggests that Ethereum is poised for an explosive 333% surge to $7,800. This bullish target is calculated by determining the height of the triangle, which is the difference between its base at $2,000 and resistance level at $4,000. When the price breaks above the resistance, the common method for estimating the possible next move is to add the triangle’s height to the breakout point, which gives a technical target of $6,000. However, based on past price behaviour and strong buying momentum, the Ethereum price could push even higher, with $7,800 being a key psychological level. Support Levels And Momentum Indicators To Watch In his price analysis, Sohaibfx has pinpointed the $4,000 and $3,000 price levels as support levels for Ethereum. This support should act as a safety net, where buyers are likely to step in to prevent further decline after Ethereum reaches its projected $7,800 target. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Maintains Movement Inside Ascending Triangle, Is Another Crash Coming? Moving forward, the analyst highlights key momentum indicators that should be monitored. While the analyst’s chart does not specify indicators like Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) or Relative Strength Index (RSI), Ethereum’s sharp upward move suggests that strong momentum will be a major contributor to its rise to a new ATH. Sohaibfx has advised traders to watch out for RSI levels above 70, as overbought conditions could signal a potential pullback while Ethereum approaches higher levels.

Ethereum’s chances of reaching the $20,000 level are fueling debate among investors and analysts. The success of the Ethereum network is dependent on real-world usage and rising activity on its platforms, so it is an area of focus in the cryptocurrency space. Related Reading: Pi Coin Sinks 47% In 14 Days—What’s Behind The Massive Drop? Real-World Usage Is The Key Ryan Berckmans, an investor in Ethereum, thinks that the key to a $20,000 ETH price is practical use. He says that the high fees, while normally a disadvantage, are actually an indicator of faith in the altcoin. If users are paying more, it is because they trust in the value of the network. Berckmans makes the comparison with Bitcoin, which continues to hold value despite 99% of its usage being centralized. He reiterates that Ethereum needs to pay attention to developing its real-world growth if it is to replicate this success. For ETH, real world growth is the answer. How do we get ETH to $20k? Fee value accrual obviously isn’t necessary to drive the required public confidence for a high token price, otherwise BTC would be worthless because 99.999% of BTC activity is centralized and doesn’t accrue… — Ryan Berckmans (@ryanberckmans) March 29, 2025 Importance Of High Fees Restoring high total fees is critical for Ethereum’s price increase. Berckmans argues that even if a hypothetical scenario sees $1 trillion in stablecoins on Ethereum’s Layer 1, it wouldn’t be enough without high fees to back it up. He suggests that the Ethereum network must prioritize robust growth to ensure that investor confidence is restored. Without this growth, reaching the ambitious target of $20,000 seems unlikely. Scaling Through Layer 1 And Layer 2 Berckmans stresses the need for more Layer 1 applications and better integration with Layer 2 solutions. This expansion is vital for sustainable growth. Ethereum must increase the distribution of its Layer 1 assets to Layer 2s while also diversifying the solutions available on Layer 2. This kind of scaling is essential to accommodate growing network activity and user demand. Focusing On Utility-Driven Growth As Ethereum celebrates the 10-year anniversary of its mainnet, Berckmans insists that the network has come a long way but still has much further to go. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Ethereum Face $14 Billion Options Expiry—Market Impact Ahead? Ethereum is the most capitalized blockchain by application but will need to scale dramatically to maintain its position. By prioritizing the development of a culture centered around real-world uses and economic development, the crypto asset can build a bridge to its price target. The Ethereum network is at a crossroads. The altcoin needs to maximize real-world usage and have growth at the top of its agenda. In doing so, it may well hit that much-sought $20,000 target in the future — at least according to Berckmans. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView

Ethereum Price Dips Again Ethereum price failed to continue higher above $2,100 and started another decline, like Bitcoin. ETH declined below the $1,920 and $1,880 support levels. It tested the $1,765 zone. A low was formed at $1,767 and the price recently attempted a fresh upward move. There was a move above the $1,800 level but the price is still below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,033 swing high to the $1,767 low.

Ethereum’s attempt to regain bullish momentum has hit a roadblock, as the price failed to break through the crucial $2,160 resistance level. After showing signs of recovery, ETH faced strong selling pressure at this key level, preventing a sustained breakout and disappointing bullish traders who were hoping for further upside. Its inability to push past this resistance suggests that bears are still in control, keeping Ethereum’s price under pressure. With the momentum fading and the market sentiment turning cautious, traders are now closely watching key support zones to determine the next move. Bearish Pressure Mounts: What’s Next For Ethereum? Ethereum is facing increasing downside pressure as its latest recovery attempt was rejected at the $2,160 resistance level. The failed breakout has reinforced bearish sentiment, with key technical indicators signaling weakness. If buyers fail to step in, ETH could be at risk of deeper declines in the near term. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Eyes Major Resistance At $2,100 As Analyst Reveals Bullish Price Range One of the major warning signs is weak volume during the recovery attempt. A strong breakout typically requires significant buying interest, but Ethereum’s rally lacked momentum, making it easier for sellers to regain control. This lack of conviction from bulls suggests that the upside move was not sustainable, allowing bears to push prices lower. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has broken down, moving below key thresholds that indicate weakening bullish strength. The current declining RSI shows that buying pressure is fading, making it difficult for Ethereum to build upward momentum. If the RSI continues trending downward, it could further confirm a prolonged bearish phase. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has also turned negative, with a breakdown below the signal line and a widening gap between the MACD and its moving average. This crossover indicates that bearish momentum is accelerating, reducing the chances of an immediate recovery. When combined with other bearish signals, the MACD breakdown further supports the case for a continued downside. Looking ahead, ETH may retest key support zones. However, a strong bounce from lower levels could offer bulls another chance to regain lost ground. For now, the charts suggest that Ethereum remains vulnerable to further declines. Support Levels To Watch: Can Bulls Prevent Further Decline? With attention now turning to key support levels, the first major support to watch is around $1,523, a level that previously acted as a short-term demand zone. If Ethereum holds above this area, it might provide bulls with a foundation for another rebound attempt. However, a break below this level could signal growing bearish dominance, increasing the risk of deeper losses. Related Reading: Ethereum Rally Incoming?

Following a period of intense price consolidation, the Ethereum (ETH) market experienced an eventful trading week that featured a damning rejection at the $2,100 price level which has emerged as a major resistance zone in recent times. Following this bearish development, analysts continue to speculate on the future of crypto’s largest altcoin. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Struggles—Is Another Breakdown on The Horizon? Ethereum’s $2,100 Rejection Signals Further Decline, But How Low Can ETH Go? In an X post on March 28, a prominent market expert with X username Cryptododo7 provided valuable insights on Ethereum’s potential trajectory following its latest rejection at the $2,100 price zone. Via a technical analysis of the daily ETH/USD trading chart, Cryptododo7 hints that the ETH market sentiment is currently bearish suggesting a major downside in the coming weeks. Within the last six months, Ethereum suffered a breakdown from an ascending channel stretching to 2023. This negative development was initiated by the formation of a one-year-long double top as seen between 2024-2025. For context, a double top is a bearish reversal pattern consisting of two peaks that reach a similar level i.e. $4.100 in ETH’s case, and are separated by a through resembling the letter “M”. The existence of a double-top formation since early 2025 has pushed ETH into a downward spiral during which the altcoin’s value has declined by 54% as it crashed below the lower boundary of its ascending channel. Following the latest rejection at $2,100, Ethereum seems less likely to re-discover its bullish form as its price now lingers around $1,870. According to Cryptododo7, Ethereum could undergo a sustained downtrend pointing to potential bearish targets around $1,130 – $1,200 based on the height of the now invalid ascending channel.

While the inauguration of US President Donald Trump marked a positive shift in US crypto policy as evidenced by the creation of the US Digital Stockpile Reserve among others, other administrative decisions on tariffs and international trade have negatively impacted the crypto market prices with investors selling their holdings in high-risk assets in fear of a global trade war. Looking forward, there is likely to be any stability on the macroeconomic front as talks of a potential economic recession continue to gain traction. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $1,881 following a heavy 6.81% decline in the past day. ETH bulls must provide sufficient demand to break past the $2,100 to neutralize the current bearish prediction and perhaps ignite a market recovery. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview
Ethereum has once again fallen below the $2,000 mark, a psychological level it had briefly reclaimed earlier this week. The market-wide correction over the past 24 hours has weighed on Ethereum’s recovery momentum, and the leading altcoin has seen a dip in sentiment that could lead to a deeper decline or a sharp mid-term rebound. Short-term sentiment is cautious, but a new analysis from a well-followed crypto analyst has brought attention to a significant technical event that opens up a bullish perspective for the Ethereum price. Ethereum Hits 300-Week Moving Average Again: What Happened The Last Time? Taking to social media platform X, crypto analyst CryptoBullet pointed out that Ethereum has now touched the 300-week moving average for only the second time in its history. The first instance was in June 2022, during the market-wide crash that saw the Ethereum price plummet to as low as $880 before beginning a long, slow recovery. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Maintains Movement Inside Ascending Triangle, Is Another Crash Coming? The second occurrence has come this month, March 2025, just as Ethereum continues to extend its struggles in gaining a footing above $2,000. With Ethereum touching the 300-week moving average again, we can only look back to see what happened last time to get a perspective of what to expect now. In June 2022, Ethereum’s touch of the 300-week moving average marked the beginning of a long-term recovery phase. After the bounce from that level, the Ethereum price surged more than 140% over the next eight weeks, eventually pushing above $2,100 in August 2022 before another correction. Mid-Term Rebound In Focus For ETH, But Resistance Ahead CryptoBullet noted the significance of this moving average, framing it as a key historical support zone. The analyst argued that regardless of bearish sentiment in the short term, this kind of macro-level support typically sets the stage for a meaningful bounce. Related Reading: Ethereum In 2024 Vs. 2025: What Important Technical Indicators Are Saying “Even if you’re a bear, you can’t deny that we hit a very important support level,” he wrote, adding that his price target for the coming bounce is between $2,900 and $3,200. Nonetheless, the bounce will depend on how the Ethereum price reacts to the level, as a continued downside move would cancel out any bullish momentum. For now, Ethereum’s price is trapped under bearish sentiment, and bulls will need to reclaim the $2,000 zone before any sustainable bounce toward the $2,900 and $3,200 range can begin to materialize. Furthermore, the recent price correction in the past 24 hours increases the risks of the Ethereum price closing March below the 3M Bollinger bands, which is currently just around $2,000. A close below the 3M Bollinger bands could spell trouble for the leading altcoin. However, if CryptoBullet’s analysis proves to be accurate, Ethereum may soon enter a period of stronger price action that plays out over the coming weeks. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,907, down by 5.82% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum price remained supported above the $1,980 level. ETH is now consolidating and remains at risk of a downside break. Ethereum struggled to continue higher above the $2,050 resistance level. The price is trading below $2,020 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,040 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair must clear the $2,040 and $2,100 resistance levels to start a decent increase. Ethereum Price Dips Again Ethereum price failed to continue higher above $2,100 and corrected some gains, like Bitcoin. ETH declined below the $2,040 and $2,020 support levels. It tested the $1,980 zone. A low was formed at $1,982 and the price recently attempted a fresh upward move. There was a move above the $2,020 level. The price tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,098 swing high to the $1,982 low. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,020 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,040 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. On the upside, the price seems to be facing hurdles near the $2,040 level. The next key resistance is near the $2,050 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2,098 swing high to the $1,982 low. The first major resistance is near the $2,095 level. A clear move above the $2,095 resistance might send the price toward the $2,150 resistance. An upside break above the $2,150 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,250 resistance zone or even $2,320 in the near term. Downside Break In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,040 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,000 level. The first major support sits near the $1,980 zone. A clear move below the $1,980 support might push the price toward the $1,880 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,820 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $1,750.

Crypto analyst Ben Gray has asserted that the Ethereum price is bullish and revealed the price range that the leading altcoin is targeting. However, ETH is set to face major resistance at $2,100, a level which it needs to break out from as it targets new highs. Ethereum Price Faces Major Resistance At $2,100 In a TradingView post, Ben Gray revealed that the Ethereum price is facing a key resistance level at $2,160 even as it eyes a rally to new highs. Despite this development, the analyst asserted that ETH’s market is bullish. While noting that the leading altcoin is fluctuating between $2,044 and $2,080, he remarked that there are signs that Ethereum initially formed a bottom. Related Reading: Ethereum Could Be Mirroring Bitcoin’s 2018-2021 Cycle Amid Record Selling Based on his analysis of the 4-hour candlestick chart, Gray stated that the Ethereum price is attempting to break through upwards, with the key resistance level at $2,160. He further showed his optimism for ETH in 2025 by stating that the expected range is between $2,904 and $4,887, although that puts the altcoin below its current all-time high (ATH). Meanwhile, the crypto analyst mentioned that the Ethereum price has shown a strong and positive performance this week. Going forward, he stated that the key focus should be on whether ETH can break through the resistance level of $2,160, which would play a key role in determining the altcoin’s trajectory in the short and mid-term. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also recently highlighted the $2,300 level as another resistance level to watch out for the Ethereum price. He noted that with ETH reclaiming $2,040, the next key hurdle is this $2,300 level, where the pricing bands suggest strong resistance. Why ETH Has Bottomed In an X post, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto stated that the Ethereum price is showing signs of bottoming. He revealed that the weekly Stochastic RSI bullish crossover is in oversold territory, a development that has often signaled market bottoms for ETH. His accompanying chart showed that the leading altcoin could rally to as high as $6,000 as it records a bullish reversal. Related Reading: Ethereum, Dogecoin, And The Altcoin Market: Why Up-Only For 217 Days Is Possible Crypto analyst Crypto Caesar also stated that the Ethereum price is currently bottoming out and that ETH is “heavily undervalued.” He added that in every bull cycle, there is always a moment when most market participants think that the altcoin will never recover after a big bearish event. However, Ethereum always recovers and ends up making new highs. As such, the analyst believes this time won’t be different, and ETH is ready to stage a bullish reversal. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $2,022, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has experienced one of its most challenging starts to the year, recording its second-worst performance in the first quarter of its history. As of now, ETH is trading just above the crucial support level of $2,000, reflecting a year-to-date decline of 43%. This stark contrast is particularly notable when compared to Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP, which have seen gains of 23% and an astonishing 279%, respectively, during the same period. Could A 60% Surge In Q2 Bring It Back To $3,200? Market expert Lark Davis has drawn attention to the dramatic downturn in Ethereum’s price in a recent social media update, highlighting a 38% drop in Q1 of this year for the altcoin. This figure is alarmingly close to its worst quarterly performance of 46% recorded during the first quarter of 2018, as noted in the comparison chart shared by Davis. Related Reading: XRP Breakout On Hold? Financial Expert Reveals What’s Missing Following that troubling quarter in 2018, Ethereum saw a brief recovery of 15% in Q2, only to face more than 40% declines in the subsequent quarters, respectively, raising concerns for current investors that this pattern might occur once again in this cycle. Despite these discouraging figures, Davis posed an interesting question regarding the potential for an “explosive” second quarter for Ethereum. Historically, since 2016, ETH has averaged a remarkable 66% surge during this period. If this trend continues and the Ethereum price were to achieve a 60% increase in the coming months, its price could climb to $3,200 per token—levels not seen since early February of this year. Crypto Expert Predicts 1,100% Surge For The Ethereum Price While short-term challenges remain, many analysts retain a long-term bullish outlook for Ethereum. Crypto analyst Merlijn drew parallels between the current market conditions and Bitcoin’s past performance, suggesting that Ethereum is poised for a similar trajectory. The analyst noted, “Accumulation, breakout, and V-shape recovery loading,” implying that a new bull run could be on the horizon for ETH, with forecasts suggesting it could reach up to $24,000 during this cycle—a major 1,100% increase.

Expert Ali Martinez recently highlighted key resistance levels that Ethereum must overcome for a sustainable rebound in the short-term. Martinez noted that ETH’s price has reclaimed its realized price of $2,040, but the next significant challenge lies at the $2,300 mark, where strong resistance has been observed for the leading altcoin. Despite a recent recovery that saw a 10% spike in the past two weeks, Ethereum still faces notable monthly losses, down nearly 25% following a broader market correction.
