Ethereum (ETH) is trading around $3,000, showing a modest gain over the last 24 hours. The price is still within a rising channel that began forming in November 2025.<\/p>\n

Despite the recent dip from levels near $3,400, buyers stepped in as ETH touched the lower range of the channel, keeping the broader trend intact.<\/p>\n

Key Channel Holds Amid Pullback<\/h2>\n

The current move follows a bounce from the $2,900\u2013$2,950 zone. This area has provided support multiple times in recent months. The price remains below both the midline of the channel and the 50-day moving average, which sit between $3,060 and $3,100. A break above these levels could open the way toward the top of the channel, which is near $3,600\u2013$3,700.<\/p>\n

Alpha Crypto Signal commented on the setup, saying<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\u201c$ETH is holding above the channel support and quickly reacted from the lower boundary, which signals that buyers are still defending this trend aggressively.\u201d<\/p>\n

As long as the lower boundary holds, the current pattern remains valid. Another analyst, Batman, described the current area as a critical level for bulls, stating<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s currently nearing its last line of defense\u2026 If there\u2019s an area for Ethereum to rebound, this is it.\u201d<\/p>\n

ETH\/BTC Nearing Key Support Area<\/h2>\n

Ethereum\u2019s position against Bitcoin has also come into focus. The ETH\/BTC pair is resting just above 0.0327 BTC, a level marked as a higher-timeframe support zone. The price action has fallen below the 21-day moving average, which may signal short-term weakness.<\/p>\n

Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe, founder of MNF Fund, noted the importance of a recovery, stating<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\u201c$ETH vs. $BTC continues to rest on an important support level here\u2026 the momentum needs to come back through reclaiming the 21-Day MA. That\u2019s the most important part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond price action, Ethereum\u2019s realized price for accumulation wallets is nearing the current market price. Analyst CW shared<\/a>, \u201cThe realized price of the $ETH accumulation address continues to rise and is approaching the current price. This indicates that accumulation is still ongoing<\/em>.\u201d According to on-chain trends, the $2,720 range has held up historically as a floor.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, centralized exchange reserves are dropping<\/a>. CryptoQuant data shows that ETH balances on exchanges have declined to 16.2 million, the lowest since 2016. Binance saw a reduction from 4.168 million to 4 million ETH since early January. Staking activity has also increased<\/a>, reducing the liquid supply further.<\/p>\n
