Ethereum technical analysis: Great technical breakout on decent volume

  • ETH/USD broke out the channel formation on the hourly chart.
  • Ethereum is now trading 4.50% higher as general crypto sentiment turns positive.

Ethereum has broken out of the channel formation on the hourly chart. The move was backed by good volume on the Coinbase exchange.

Now the 180.00 level is the resistance to beat but it has proved to be a difficult level in the past.

Right now price is resting at the value area. This is indicated by the bell curve on the left-hand side of the chart.

The relative strength indicator (RSI) has pushed to the highest level since the beginning of last month.

If we do get a retracement the market might look at the trendline it has just broken out of.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple consolidate after massive sell-off

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices consolidated on Monday after correcting by nearly 9%, 8%, and 10% in the previous week, respectively. BTC is hovering around $70,000, while ETH and XRP are facing rejection at key levels. Traders should be cautious: despite recent stabilization, upside recovery for these top three cryptocurrencies is capped as the broader trend remains bearish.

Ethereum: Trend Research capitulates, BitMine's Thomas Lee sees a V-shaped recovery

Ethereum had one of its sharpest historic declines over the past 10 days, shedding 40% of its value and briefly sliding below $2,000. The dip also saw ETH move below its realized price, or the average cost basis of investors — an occurrence that has historically accelerated selling pressure as investors cut losses.

Why Bitcoin and top cryptos are falling: Bitwise

The crypto market crash since October isn't down to a single factor but a combination of several, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan. In a note to investors on Friday, Hougan outlined six key factors that potentially contributed to the crash that pushed down nearly every top crypto by more than 50% from prices seen over four months ago.

XRP recovery gains momentum despite retail market decline

Ripple is accelerating its recovery, trading above $1.36 at the time of writing on Friday, as investors adjust their positions following a turbulent week in the broader crypto market. The remittance token is up over 21% from its intraday low of $1.12.

Bitcoin (BTC) is wrapping up 2025 as one of its most eventful years, defined by unprecedented institutional participation, major regulatory developments, and extreme price volatility.

Bitcoin: The worst may be behind us

Bitcoin (BTC) price recovers slightly, trading at $65,000 at the time of writing on Friday, after reaching a low of $60,000 during the early Asian trading session. The Crypto King remained under pressure so far this week, posting three consecutive weeks of losses exceeding 30%.
