Ethereum Holds Strong Above Key Support, Eyes $3,000 Resistance

Ethereum continues to show resilience after holding above a key short-term support zone, with price action now pressing against a major resistance cluster just below $3,000. The technical structure remains constructive, though confirmation is still required to unlock further upside.

ETH Holds Above Short-Term Trend Support

Source: coinmarketcap 

ETH closed above its 7-day simple moving average at $2,968, signaling that buyers are defending recent gains. This level has acted as near-term trend support, helping stabilize price action after the latest pullback.

Holding above this moving average keeps the short-term structure intact and supports the case for another attempt at higher resistance levels.

$3,000 Remains the Key Hurdle

Ethereum is now approaching the $2,980–$3,000 resistance zone. This area carries technical and psychological significance, aligning with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and the $3,000 round number.

A daily close above $3,000 would mark a clear technical breakout. Such a move could trigger algorithmic buying and force the liquidation of approximately $58 million in short positions, potentially accelerating upside momentum.

Momentum Leaves Room for Upside

The 14-day Relative Strength Index currently sits at 41.9, indicating neutral momentum. This suggests Ethereum has room to move higher before approaching overbought conditions, provided buying pressure continues.

While momentum is not yet strong, it remains supportive of a breakout attempt rather than signaling exhaustion.

How Outset PR Optimizes PR Budgets and Delivers Tangible Results

The purpose of any PR campaign is to boost brand visibility. Traditionally, this has meant securing as many publications as possible, often with unpredictable outcomes. It was difficult to know how many readers would actually see a story, leaving much of PR to guesswork. 

Actually, it had been guesswork until analysts of Outset PR developed Syndication Map—a proprietary tool that identifies which outlets attract the most traffic and where a story is likely to achieve the strongest syndication lift. Senior Media Analyst Maximilian Fondé explains:

If a company needs a top list article, we filter the table for media that publish this format, cross-check costs and placement conditions, and know within minutes which outlets to pitch. Over time, that builds into a comprehensive database of crypto-friendly publishers – something other players in the industry don't have right now.

Smarter Campaigns, Lower Costs

Campaigns built with Syndication Map are not about mass reach for its own sake. They are carefully crafted to serve specific goals. By narrowing the focus to the most effective outlets, Outset PR reduces unnecessary spending on low-impact publications.

Another key factor is communication. Outset PR’s dedicated Media Relations team, led by Anastasia Anisimova, has earned the trust of leading outlets through professionalism and genuine relationships.

Sincerity and friendliness are our core principles, earning us the trust of numerous media outlets. Unfortunately, not all agencies in our industry prioritize friendliness in their communications.

Extended Reach Through Syndication

Outset PR campaigns also achieve more visibility than clients initially pay for. Articles are frequently republished across aggregators and platforms such as CoinMarketCap and Binance Square, extending exposure far beyond the original placement. Well-placed articles can achieve up to ten times the outreach of the original post.

The case of StealthEX demonstrates this effect clearly: targeted tier-1 pitching led to 92 republications across outlets including CoinMarketCap, Binance Square, and Yahoo Finance, generating a total outreach of over 3 billion.

Outset PR Sets a New Standard  

Pitching to a major outlet still has value, but syndication often delivers far greater reach at a lower cost. Outset PR has mastered this strategy, combining proprietary tools, strong media relations, and syndication opportunities to deliver results backed by numbers.

ETH Price Outlook

If Ethereum fails to break through the $3,000 resistance zone, a pullback remains possible. The next key support lies near $2,850, which would likely attract renewed buying interest if tested.

A sustained move below this level would weaken the bullish setup and shift focus back to consolidation.
