Ethereum Price Rebound: ETH Eyes $3,000?
Ethereum (ETH) is at a critical juncture, with buyers attempting to recoup recent losses. After falling to a low of $2,369.48 in the past 24 hours, ETH staged a recovery. While sentiment is improving, the extent of this rebound remains uncertain.
Ethereum Price Volatility
At the time of writing, ETH trades around $2,400, representing a 2.33% increase in the last 24 hours (CoinMarketCap data). The price climbed as high as $2,529.66 during the recovery before consolidating. However, significant volatility persists.
Despite the rebound, the broader market remains volatile. Bitcoin has dropped over 10% in the past week, trading at $86,388.01. This altcoin correlation creates a bearish headwind that could further pressure ETH. A recent ETH price analysis explored the possibility of a recovery, but macroeconomic factors continue to pose challenges.
ETH Price to $3,000: A Realistic Goal?
Ethereum's outlook depends on whether the downward trend continues. Since mid-November, ETH has fallen over 43%. A potential ‘death cross’—where the 50-day moving average (MA) falls below the 200-day MA—is looming. This bearish signal could send prices lower. However, ETH has shown resilience, holding above the key support level of $2,159 for a considerable time.
While some indicators suggest ETH is oversold, investors should remain cautious. A full recovery to $3,000 faces considerable hurdles in the current market conditions.
Positive Ethereum Fundamentals
Despite price volatility, the Ethereum ecosystem continues to show positive signs. The Ethereum Foundation recently announced a $1.25 million donation to support the legal defense of Tornado Cash co-founder Alexey Pertsev. Ava Miyaguchi also recently assumed the role of President of the Foundation.
The Pectra upgrade, though initially delayed, remains on track. Its positive impact on network efficiency is expected to boost adoption. Ethereum’s overall positive social sentiment contrasts with the more bearish sentiment surrounding many other cryptocurrencies, indicating a potential for future price appreciation.
