Daily Support Holds Near $3,200

In a recent analysis, CryptoPulse highlighted Ethereum’s price actions, which were in line with the liquidation map.

Potential Rebound Targets for Ethereum Prices

Ethereum’s current price levels have confused the market. While some market players perceive a prolonged slide from $3,762 on December 2, others perceive a weak bounce from $3,208.

There was also a catalyst in the form of a Yearn Finance exploit, which occurred around the same time as the unwinding of leverage, resulting in over $600 million in liquidations. While individual investors panicked, institutional investors accumulated, which has been seen before in a bull market since 2020.

Technically, Ethereum appears to be ranging in an ascending broadening formation within a rising channel, which has been a precursor to a sharp move on many occasions in the past. The $3,550-$3,650 zone appears to be a distribution zone where the selling of Ether by the whales takes place, while $2,900-$3,000 is a significant accumulation zone.

Since November 2024, there has been a purchase of over 1.7 million ETH in the lower range by large holders, which portrays strategic buying. The current market range of $3,100-$3,400 has turned out to be a consolidation area between retail buyers and institutional buyers.

Whale activities are responsible for Ethereum’s price movements in the market. There has been a positive net flow for the whale accounts over the last 20 trading days, while Ethereum ETFs also attracted $2.63 billion in December 2024, with Fidelity Ethereum Trust being a major driver. 

Ethereum’s position today reflects a market shaped by strategic accumulation and distribution, with whales quietly steering the course. If the $3,200 support holds, ETH could see a strong rebound, potentially targeting $3,350–$3,400, $3,600–$3,750, and even higher levels in the coming months. 

With ETF support, staking, as well as tech development, Ethereum is positioned for a major move ahead.
