Ethereum Price Holds Support

Ethereum price struggled to start a fresh increase and declined below the $3,750 support zone, like Bitcoin. ETH even traded below the $3,720 support zone. However, the bulls were active near the $3,700 support zone.

A low was formed at $3,702 and the price recently started a recovery wave. There was a move above the $3,750 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,957 swing high to the $3,702 low.

Ethereum price is now trading near $3,800 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $3,760 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

If there is a fresh increase, ETH might face resistance near the $3,830 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,880 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,957 swing high to the $3,702 low.

An upside break above the $3,880 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance sits at $3,950, above which the price might gain traction and rise toward the $4,000 level.

Ethereum Price

If the bulls push Ether above the $4,000 level, the price might rise and test the $4,080 resistance. Any more gains could send Ether toward the $4,220 resistance zone.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,830 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3,750 level and the trend line.

The next major support is near the $3,720 zone. A clear move below the $3,720 support might push the price toward $3,660. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,550 level in the near term.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
