ETH Technical Outlook: Base Formation Develops After Prolonged Corrective Phase



Ethereum remains within a broader corrective structure after the sharp rejection from the $4,450–$4,950 macro supply zone (0.786–1 Fib). That rejection marked a distribution top, followed by sustained bearish continuation and now a range-bound stabilization phase near the lower end of the structure.

Recent price action shows ETH defending the $2,620–$2,900 macro demand base, where buyers have started to build a rounded accumulation structure. Momentum has stabilized, though the higher-timeframe trend has not yet flipped bullish.

EMA Structure (Bearish Bias, Short-Term Stabilization)

20 EMA: $3,145 
50 EMA: $3,149 
100 EMA: $3,275 
200 EMA: $3,329

ETH is currently below all major EMAs, keeping the medium- to long-term structure bearish. Price is attempting to hold above the $2,900–$3,000 micro base, signaling short-term stabilization, but upside remains capped while below the 100 & 200 EMA cluster.

The $3,270–$3,330 zone represents a major dynamic resistance band.

Fibonacci & Price Structure

1 Fib: $4,954 
0.786 Fib: $4,455 
0.618 Fib: $4,064 
0.5 Fib: $3,789 
0.382 Fib: $3,513 
0.236 Fib: $3,173 
Fib 0: $2,623

ETH is trading just above the Fib 0 base ($2,623) and below the 0.236 Fib ($3,173), keeping price inside a range-bound recovery phase.

A clean break and acceptance above $3,170–$3,330 would open the door for a move toward $3,510–$3,790, where Fib resistance and EMA confluence align.

Failure to hold above $2,900–$2,850 would expose ETH back to the $2,620 macro demand floor.

Structural Context

Price action shows higher lows since the December bottom, suggesting early accumulation behavior. However, ETH remains capped below major EMAs and overhead resistance, keeping the current move classified as a corrective base, not a confirmed trend reversal.

A decisive daily close above $3,330–$3,510 would be required to shift market structure toward bullish continuation.

RSI Momentum

RSI (14): 39–45

RSI is recovering from lower levels but remains near neutral, reflecting stabilizing momentum with limited bullish conviction. This supports a base-building environment rather than an impulsive breakout phase.

📊 Key Levels

Resistance

$3,170–$3,330 (0.236 Fib / EMA cluster)

$3,510 (0.382 Fib)

$3,790 (0.5 Fib)

$4,064 (0.618 Fib)

Support

$3,000–$2,900 (range base)

$2,850–$2,750 (local demand)

$2,623 (Fib 0 / macro demand)

📌 Summary

ETH is forming a structured base after a prolonged decline from macro supply. While downside momentum has slowed and accumulation is developing, the broader structure remains corrective unless price can reclaim $3,170–$3,510 with strength. Until that happens, ETH is likely to remain in a range-bound recovery phase with heavy resistance overhead.

先帝创业未半而中道崩殂,今天下三分,益州疲弊,此诚危急存亡之秋也。然侍卫之臣不懈于内,忠志之士忘身于外者,盖追先帝之殊遇,欲报之于陛下也。诚宜开张圣听,以光先帝遗德,恢弘志士之气,不宜妄自菲薄,引喻失义,以塞忠谏之路也。宫中府中,俱为一体。陟罚臧否,不宜异同。若有作奸犯科及为忠善者,宜付有司论其刑赏,以昭陛下平明之理。不宜偏私,使内外异法也。侍中,侍郎郭攸之,费祎,董允等,此皆良实,志虑忠纯,是以先帝简拔以遗陛下。愚以为宫中之事,事无大小,悉以咨之,然后施行,必能裨补阙漏,有所广益
