Ethereum is showing renewed signs of strength as it begins to stabilize after 
months of choppy price action. While recent technical improvements suggest 
momentum is turning in favor of the bulls, key resistance levels remain 
overhead, which means the recovery seems promising, but not yet fully 
confirmed. Market Structure Remains Unconvincing Despite The Bounce In a 
recent market update, crypto analyst Luca expressed a cautious outlook 
regarding Ethereum’s current market structure. While the price has managed a 
technical feat by breaking above the 1D Bull Market Support Band, a zone that 
has historically served as a reliable reversal point over the past several 
months, Luca remains unconvinced of a broader trend shift. Related Reading: 
Ethereum Price Momentum Rolls Over, Bearish Move Warning The primary hurdle 
for a definitive bullish reversal lies at the 0.618 Fibonacci Point of 
Interest (POI), currently positioned at $3,120. Luca emphasizes that Ethereum 
must durably reclaim this level to shift the lower-timeframe sentiment. Until 
this specific price target is secured as support, the risk of the current move 
being a fake-out remains high. Drawing parallels to the current state of 
Bitcoin, Luca suggests that the most prudent approach for investors is to 
remain defensive, as the market has yet to confirm a breakout above the 
Fibonacci resistance. This cautious stance is intended to guard against 
emotional trading during a period of high uncertainty and potential 
volatility. To manage this risk, Luca is maintaining a cash reserve to hedge 
spot holdings in case a rejection occurs. A failure to hold current levels 
would likely trigger a deeper pullback toward the previous high-timeframe 
resistance range near $2,700 before a more sustainable and durable reversal to 
the upside unfolds. Ethereum Opens 2026 With A Key Trend Shift According to 
StockTrader_max, Ethereum has started 2026 on a clearly positive technical 
footing. ETH has printed its first daily close above the 50-day moving average 
since October 9, a period that coincided with the liquidation-driven shock 
that rippled through the broader crypto market. This close marks a meaningful 
shift in trend behavior after months of trading below key short-term averages.

Survive? From a bullish perspective, reclaiming the 50-day MA is exactly the 
kind of confirmation sought for following an extended corrective phase. It 
signals improving momentum and suggests that buyers are beginning to regain 
control, potentially laying the groundwork for a more sustained recovery 
rather than a short-lived bounce. Looking ahead, StockTrader_max highlighted 
the 200-day moving average around $3,550 as the next major upside objective. 
As capital starts to rotate back into Ethereum and risk appetite improves, the 
analyst expects price action to gravitate toward this level in the coming 
sessions. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Amid the cheers of the new year, Ethereum achieved a decisive breakout above 
the long-standing price resistance around $3,000. According to market analyst 
Amr Taha, this price gain has been accompanied by significant changes in the 
derivatives market, which suggest an aggressive shift in investors&#8217; 
positioning. Related Reading: 2026 Crypto Market Prediction: Will Prices Soar

To Usher In 2026 In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, Amr Taha shares an in- 
depth analysis of the Binance derivatives market following ETH’s recent surge 
in the first days of 2026. Notably, the market expert reports an impulsive 
rise in ETH open interest on the world’s largest exchange, in what they 
described as “one of the strongest single-day increases seen recently. As the 
spot price climbed above $3,100, data from CryptoQuant shows that ETH open 
interest rose from approximately $6.2 billion to around $7.1 billion, 
representing a 12% increase in the last day. Taha highlights the importance of 
the coincidence, stating a rise in open interest amid price appreciation 
suggested that traders were opening fresh positions, rather than the move 
being driven solely by short covering. Interestingly, more data showed the 
ETH Cumulative Volume Delta – which measures the net difference between buying 
and selling volume over time – also rose alongside open interest, implying 
several positive developments. One of which is that long positions comprised 
the majority of the newly opened positions in the market, citing a heavy 
bullish sentiment around Ethereum. In addition, ETH buyers demonstrated 
heightened urgency by favoring market orders over passive limit bids, 
indicating aggressive taker-side demand, implying a strong market conviction 
that preferred to engage the market immediately rather than wait for lower 
prices. Related Reading: Popular Crypto Founder Dumps Millions In Ethereum, 
Here’s What He’s Buying A Potential Bull Trap? In analyzing the liquidation 
heatmap for the ETH derivative market, Amr Taha unveiled other critical price 
developments. Notably, ETH’s recent surge was partly driven by a short-squeeze 
effect around the $3,100 price level. Notably, when the altcoin touched this 
level, over-leveraged short traders had to defend their positions, effectively 
creating a market demand that translated into a sudden price gain. While the 
recent price increase and open interest boost represent positive moments for 
the market, Taha warns that forced liquidation often results in temporary 
resistance zones on the lower timeframe, especially when accompanied by rising 
funding rates. The analyst also explains that Ethereum’s price move appears 
leverage-driven and highly sentimental rather than structural, suggesting 
equal room for both opportunity and risk. At press time, the prominent altcoin 
trades at $3,087, representing a 2.51% gain in the last day. Featured image
