Ethereum experienced one of the most aggressive sell-offs in its history on Monday, plunging 25% in a single day amid market-wide panic. The rapid decline sent shockwaves through the crypto space, marking one of the most volatile trading sessions ever recorded for ETH.  Related Reading Bitcoin Support Sits At $90,6K Short-Term Holder Realized Price – Expert Reveals Key Resistance Level 1 day ago


However, within hours, the price rebounded, erasing nearly the entire drop and stabilizing above key support levels. Despite this swift recovery, Ethereum now faces serious risks as it trades slightly below a crucial resistance level, leaving investors uncertain about its next move.


Top analyst Daan shared a technical analysis on X, revealing that both Bitcoin and Ethereum are currently in consolidation, attempting to form a higher low after the dramatic market flush from this weekend. He noted that this phase is critical for determining the next major trend, as holding above current levels could signal the beginning of a new bullish leg. 


Failure to establish strong support could lead to further downside, putting Ethereum at risk of another correction. With uncertainty still looming, all eyes are on ETH’s ability to reclaim lost ground and establish momentum for a potential breakout in the coming days. Ethereum Prepares for a Decisive Move Amid Uncertainty


Ethereum is currently trading below the $2,800 mark, struggling to gain momentum after last week’s historic volatility. The recent price action has left investors frustrated, as hopes for a strong rally continue to fade. While Bitcoin has shown relative strength, Ethereum remains stuck in a tight range, unable to break above key resistance levels. The uncertainty in the market has led to a decline in investor confidence, with many questioning whether ETH will be able to reclaim its bullish structure anytime soon.

According to Daan, if Ethereum successfully breaks above its consolidation channel, it could gain the momentum needed to push above key supply levels and start a new bullish phase. However, failure to do so could lead to more downside pressure.


The coming weeks will be crucial for Ethereum’s price trajectory. If ETH can hold above $2,700 and push toward $3,000, it may spark renewed interest from investors. However, continued failure to reclaim key resistance levels could push Ethereum into deeper consolidation, further frustrating market participants.

Despite short-term uncertainty, institutions are continuing to accumulate ETH, recognizing its long-term value. Historically, these periods of consolidation have been followed by explosive price movements. Price Struggles Below $2,900 


Ethereum is currently trading at $2,750 after days of consolidation below the $2,900 mark. Despite multiple attempts to push higher, ETH has struggled to reclaim key resistance levels that would signal a shift in momentum. The price action remains uncertain, with bulls attempting to hold the $2,700 support zone while looking for a breakout above the $2,800 mark to regain short-term control.

The most critical resistance level remains the $3,000 mark. If Ethereum can successfully push above this price and turn it into support, it will open the door for a rally into higher supply levels. This would strengthen the bullish case and potentially trigger a move toward $3,300 or higher.

On the downside, holding above $2,700 is crucial for avoiding further selling pressure. If ETH fails to defend this level, a drop toward $2,600 or even $2,500 could be the next move. However, as long as Ethereum remains within this consolidation range, traders will continue to watch for a decisive breakout. A close above $2,800 in the coming days would be the first sign that bulls are gaining momentum and that a new uptrend is beginning.
