Ethereum Holds Above $3,000 as Breakout Triggers Near $3,200 and $3,050 Come Into Focus

A confirmed break is the catalyst investors await, with leverage pockets plus gloomy sentiment likely to magnify the move.

Overview

  • ETH is consolidating near $3,100 after failing to clear $3,150–$3,200, with buyers defending $3,080–$3,050 support.
  • Analysts highlight a daily symmetrical triangle and say a sustained close above roughly $3,240–$3,300 would signal bullish continuation, while a drop below $3,050–$3,080 exposes $3,020–$2,900.
  • On-chain activity is improving as the 30‑day SMA of active addresses climbs above 400,000 and staking interest grows.
  • Santiment reports social sentiment at lows last seen before the 2025 rally, a setup that has previously preceded upside moves.
  • Derivatives data show more than $1 billion in nearby liquidation clusters, raising the chance of a sharp move once direction is confirmed.
