Source Newsbtc

Ethereum price corrected gains and traded below the $3,300 level. ETH is consolidating and facing hurdles near the $3,300 resistance zone.

  • Ethereum started a downside correction from the $3,400 resistance.
  • The price is trading below $3,330 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $3,295 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could start another increase if it clears the $3,330 resistance zone.

Ethereum Price Extends Losses Below $3,300

Ethereum price failed to clear the $3,400 resistance zone and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin. ETH traded below the $3,330 and $3,300 support levels to enter a short-term bearish zone.

There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $3,295 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair even spiked below the $3,250 support zone. A low is formed at $3,231 and the price is now consolidating losses. It recovered some losses and traded above $3,280.

The price tested the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,362 swing high to the $3,231 low. Ethereum price is now trading below $3,300 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

If there is a fresh increase, the price could face resistance near the $3,300 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The first major resistance is near the $3,330 level and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3,362 swing high to the $3,231 low.

Ethereum Price

The next major hurdle is near the $3,350 level. A close above the $3,350 level might send Ether toward the $3,400 resistance. The next key resistance is near $3,500. An upside break above the $3,500 resistance might send the price higher toward the $3,650 resistance zone in the near term.

Another Decline In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,330 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near $3,250. The first major support sits near the $3,230 zone.

A clear move below the $3,230 support might push the price toward $3,180. Any more losses might send the price toward the $3,080 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $3,020.

Ethereum slides 5% as bears lean on $3,500 cap and put $3,150 support in focusEthereum (ETH) drops more than 5% after a failed push above $3,550, with price sliding to $3,153 and now holding below $3,350, the 100-hour SMA and a bearish trend line at $3,500; unless bulls reclaim the $3,350–$3,500 zone, the short-term bias stays bearish and a clean break under $3,150 could expose $3,050, $3,000 and even the $2,880–$2,850 support area.

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.
