price is trading above $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There 
is a bullish trend line forming with support at $3,210 on the hourly chart of 
ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it

managed to stay above $3,000 and started a fresh increase, beating Bitcoin. 
ETH price gained strength for a move above the $3,120 and $3,250 resistance 
levels. The bulls even pushed the price above $3,350. However, the bears were 
active below $3,400. A high was formed at $3,396 and the price is now 
consolidating. There was a minor drop below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of 
the upward wave from the $3,094 swing low to the $3,396 low. Ethereum price is 
now trading above $3,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is 
also a bullish trend line forming with support at $3,210 on the hourly chart 
of ETH/USD. If there is another upward move, the price could face resistance 
near the $3,320 level. The next key resistance is near the $3,350 level. The 
first major resistance is near the $3,380 level. A clear move above the $3,380 
resistance might send the price toward the $3,420 resistance. An upside break 
above the $3,420 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the 
stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,500 resistance zone or even $3,550 
in the near term. Pullback In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,380 
resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is 
near the $3,250 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave 
from the $3,094 swing low to the $3,396 low. The first major support sits near 
the $3,210 zone. A clear move below the $3,210 support might push the price 
toward the $3,150 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the 
$3,050 region. The next key support sits at $3,000. Technical Indicators

The prospect of a “Trump Fed takeover” is rapidly becoming a central macro 
theme for 2026, with some traders arguing that markets still underestimate how 
radical the shift could be for global liquidity – and by extension for crypto. 
Macro commentator plur daddy (@plur_daddy) describes it bluntly via X: “The 
Trump Fed takeover being underpriced is my primary theme going into 2026 
(hence my gold bet). This is a momentous shift: the bigger and more convex the 
catalyst, the more difficult it is for markets to price it in properly.” 
Former Fed trader Joseph Wang known as &#8220;Fed Guy&#8221; echoes the concern from 
inside the plumbing, warning: “The market underestimates the likelihood of a 
Trump Fed. The Administration is showing resourcefulness and determination for 
lower rates. That could set off the blow off top in equities, where implied 
vol shows speculation still has room to run.” The Trump Fed Takeover Isn’t 
Price In That determination is colliding with a bond market that appears to be 
pushing back via term premium. Plur highlights the spread between the 12-month 
T-bill and the 10-year Treasury as a clean gauge of that tension. He notes 
that the spread “peaked right before inauguration on the generic ‘Trump will 
run it hot’ viewpoint,” then “got crushed lower as DOGE and Tariffs got priced 
in.” It bottomed near the tariff lows and “is now back to the highs,” a 
pattern he reads as term-premium expansion as “a form of protest to [Kevin] 
Hassett,” Trump’s presumed Fed pick. Related Reading: Italy’s Market Watchdog 
Gives Crypto Firms A Clear Order: Act Or Exit Against that backdrop, the 
administration still has powerful tools to compress term premium without 
formally announcing quantitative easing. Plur identifies three levers. First, 
de-regulating banks so they are allowed – in practice, pressured – to hold 
more Treasuries, boosting structural demand for government paper. Second, 
reducing the Treasury’s weighted-average maturity by shifting issuance “to 
bills over longer dated notes,” which cuts the duration the market has to 
absorb. Third, specifically for mortgages, “lever up the GSEs to buy MBS,” 
narrowing mortgage spreads and transmitting easier policy to the housing 
market even if the policy rate moves more slowly. He argues that “all of these 
are quite bullish for risk overall but will take time to play out.” For now, 
the environment remains awkward for directional risk bets, including crypto. 
“In the meantime, it has been a choppy and difficult market, across the board. 
Equity indices have grinded higher but the underlying rotations have been 
tricky to navigate. QT ended but liquidity is still relatively thin, and the 
fact that we are going into year end does not help. Better times will come.” 
The bullish pivot in his framework arrives with the calendar. “In the new 
year, fiscal accommodation will re-expand on the implementation of OBBBA 
(+$10–15bn/mo). Meanwhile we have sell-side macro teams calling for 
$20–45bn/mo in T-bill repurchasing by the Fed, as soon as Jan 1.” Related

Boss This mix would directly ease pressures visible in funding markets: “This 
would go a long way towards easing the current liquidity issues (see the 
SOFR–IORB spread chart below). This is not classic QE in that there is very 
little duration being absorbed from the private sector, and mainly has the 
effect of expanding bank reserves. This is still bullish because bank reserves 
are tight at the time, which is tied to the repo liquidity issues.” Will The 
Crypto Market Rise Again? On that basis, Plur expects the macro backdrop in 
2026 to look “better than H2 ’25 has been, perhaps more on par with parts of 
2024.” His expression of the trade is clear: “This should be enough for strong 
performance on gold given the Fed takeover angle, and continued melt-up in 
equities and select commodities.” For Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, 
however, his stance is notably more cautious. “For BTC it is more difficult to 
say. My base case continues to be a frustrating period of chop and re- 
accumulation.” Improved liquidity “should be favorable for BTC,” but he 
questions whether there will be “a material shift in the supply/demand 
imbalances we have been seeing,” concluding: “I will keep watching it for 
now.” In other words, the Trump Fed trade is already driving high-convexity 
bets in gold, equities and commodities. Crypto stands to benefit indirectly 
from easier reserves and lower term premium, but in this framework, the key 
constraint is no longer just macro liquidity – it is whether fresh demand is 
strong enough to meet an increasingly inelastic supply in the crypto market. 
At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $3.05 trillion. Featured
