Highlights

Ethereum sees another $27.91 million in net outflows as spot demand remains weak
Price stays below all major EMAs, limiting the impact of short-term rebounds
Key resistance at $3,155–$3,180 must break to unlock a broader upside attempt

ETH spent much of the session trading in a tight band around $3,115. Attempts to move higher continue to stall at the 30-minute Supertrend, which has held steady near $3,155 and acted as a ceiling throughout the week. Parabolic SAR signals remain mixed as momentum fades rapidly after each short squeeze.

Buyers have been active in the $3,090-$3,107 support area, stepping in to absorb dips without producing strong follow-through. This pattern reflects a market attempting to stabilize while lacking the conviction needed for a meaningful reversal.

Derivatives activity supports the view of cooling appetite. Open interest sits near $37.6 billion, down almost one percent in 24 hours. Traders are cutting exposure rather than positioning aggressively, and long/short ratios hover near 0.91, signaling mild pressure from the short side. A notable divergence appears among top traders on Binance, where long positions outnumber shorts nearly three to one, suggesting early accumulation among larger accounts even as retail remains hesitant.

Daily chart shows heavy resistance stack limiting recovery potential

The daily structure remains restricted by a full EMA resistance stack. All major EMAs - 20 at $3,074, 50 at $3,307, 100 at $3,512, and 200 at $3,456 - sit above price. This alignment has capped every rebound since November’s breakdown and continues to dictate trend behavior. Until ETH clears at least the 50-day EMA, rallies are likely to fade as trend traders sell strength.

Momentum sits in neutral territory, with RSI at 49. The indicator neither signals exhaustion nor active trend, reinforcing the idea that ETH is stuck in a transition phase rather than a trend reversal.

Spot flows, meanwhile, continue to work against bullish sentiment. The latest $27.91 million outflow extends a multi-week streak of negative prints. Historically, large outflows during flat price action reflect accumulation, but ETH has not converted these flows into upside pressure due to resistance overhead and soft derivatives engagement.

Key levels to watch as ETH approaches heavy resistance

The immediate test is whether ETH can break through the $3,155-$3,180 band. A sustained move above this zone would flip the short-term Supertrend and open a path toward $3,307, where the 50-day EMA waits.

Clearing the 50-day opens the door to a broader rally toward $3,450, the area where the 100-day and 200-day EMAs converge. That cluster forms the key battleground for any serious trend reversal. A failure to reclaim these levels exposes the market to a return toward the $3,020-$2,980 support range. Below $2,980, momentum could accelerate toward $2,880, which marks the next major liquidity zone.

At this stage, Ethereum is navigating between early signs of accumulation and the weight of resistance from a fully formed downtrend. Until price reclaims the mid-$3,100s with conviction, the asset is likely to oscillate inside a broader consolidation zone.

In earlier coverage, we highlighted the importance of ETH reclaiming the 50-day EMA to shift trend structure. That remains unchanged. While spot outflows hint at accumulation and top traders are building long exposure, the technical ceiling continues to cap the market, preventing ETH from confirming a sustained recovery.
