Ethereum’s price recently made another attempt to break through the key resistance level at $3,300 but failed to do so effectively, leading to a slowdown in momentum. Amid cooling demand in the US market, ETH has entered a short-term consolidation phase, with overall market sentiment remaining cautious.
As of now, Ethereum’s price hovers around $3,115, down approximately 0.7% in the past 24 hours. Over the past week, ETH has traded within a range of $3,008 to $3,293, maintaining a weekly gain of about 3%. However, from a longer-term perspective, Ethereum’s price remains significantly below its all-time high, with a substantial retracement from the near $5,000 peak, reflecting a lack of mid-term upward momentum.
Looking at trading data, the spot market has been relatively calm, with trading volume slightly increasing to around $23 billion, indicating limited new buying interest. The derivatives market shows a mixed picture, with overall trading volume slightly rising but open interest decreasing. This “volume up, open interest down” pattern typically suggests traders are more inclined to close positions or make short-term adjustments rather than establishing new high-leverage long positions.
On-chain and cross-market indicators further reinforce a cautious outlook. According to CryptoQuant analyst CryptoOnchain, the “US market premium spread” for Ethereum has been weakening consecutively, with its 14-day moving average falling to a 10-month low. This indicator measures the price difference between major compliant platforms in the US and the global market; when it turns negative, it often signals waning institutional buying interest in the US. Historically, when this indicator remains positive, trend-driven rallies are more likely, but current conditions do not mirror such a structure.
ETF fund flows also exert short-term pressure on sentiment. Recent data shows that US spot Ethereum ETFs have experienced two consecutive days of net outflows, with daily withdrawals reaching tens of millions of dollars, reflecting some funds choosing to wait or phase out at high levels.
From a technical standpoint, Ethereum’s daily chart still shows a “lower high” pattern, with prices consistently held back by the 50-day moving average and resistance around $3,300. The Bollinger Bands are gradually converging, suggesting increased volatility ahead, but the direction remains unclear. The RSI indicator is in the neutral zone, indicating a temporary balance between bullish and bearish forces.
Overall, if Ethereum’s price can effectively hold above $3,300, market focus may shift to the $3,500–$3,600 range; if the rebound faces resistance again, the key support levels are at $3,000–$3,050. Losing these supports could signal further downside risk.

Mega Bank's Director Rui-bin Zhuang tests stablecoin remittances, but the costs of blockchain are misunderstood.
Mega Financial Holding Co. held a media briefing on the 10th. Chairman Dong Rui-bin revealed that to objectively compare the efficiency of bank and blockchain remittances, Mega Bank mobilized 17 countries worldwide and 25 overseas branches last year for testing. Branch staff opened accounts at local legal exchanges and used the virtual asset trading platform BitoPro to trade USDT stablecoins, transferring 50 USDT each time back to Taiwan, and compared this with traditional bank cross-border wire transfers.
The results showed that stablecoins do have advantages for small-scale cross-border remittances. However, for remittance amounts exceeding the equivalent of NT$200,000 (about $7,000 USD), banks remain more cost-competitive.
