Ethereum jumps 8.40% today

Highlights

Ethereum (ETH) trades at $4,125.99, up 8.40% daily, staying below its MA-20 and MA-50 but well above its MA-200 at $3,126.70.
A $20 billion liquidation on Binance and USDe depeg triggered volatility, but BitMine’s $103.7 million ETH purchase and renewed DeFi activity fueled recovery momentum.
ETH is likely to consolidate between $4,034.39 and $4,264.62 over the next five days, with technicals indicating short-term resistance and mixed momentum signals.

Institutional buying and retail return after forced liquidation spiral

A sharp rebound in ETH followed a historic $20 billion liquidation event caused by a pricing flaw on Binance that triggered forced liquidations and a temporary depeg in the USDe stablecoin. BitMine further supported recovery momentum by acquiring $103.7 million worth of ETH, underlining strong institutional interest. Additional support came from renewed retail participation, growing DeFi activity, and high-profile whale trades after recent market volatility.

Resistance strengthens amid mixed momentum and selling dominance

From a technical perspective, ETH’s position below its MA-20 and MA-50 but above the MA-200 suggests significant short- and medium-term resistance, with dynamic support near the Ichimoku Kijun at $4,095 and medium-term resistance around the MA-50. Momentum remains mixed — the daily MACD signals weakness and the ADX suggests low trend strength, while oscillators such as the RSI and Stochastic RSI are near neutral levels. The CCI is neutral, Bear/Bull Power currently points to more seller activity, and the Awesome Oscillator confirms the prevailing downward bias, with price action showing selling pressure after early gains and continued volatility.

Stabilization expected as breakout and pullback risks emerge

Over the next five trading days, ETH is expected to consolidate in a range between $4,034.39 and $4,264.62, with an over 80% probability favoring a sideways or upward trajectory. The most likely scenario is a period of stabilization within this corridor. A breakout above the $4,251–$4,352 resistance zone could invite further gains, while a drop below the $4,095 support may put the $4,034 level at risk and trigger deeper pullbacks.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that while ETH has managed a strong rebound after the recent liquidation-driven turbulence, its technical profile remains fragile in the short to medium term. He sees persistent resistance below the MA-20 and MA-50, with key indicators pointing to waning momentum and continued selling pressure — factors that warrant a defensive approach. Kharitonov remains cautious, emphasizing that range-bound consolidation is most likely unless ETH decisively breaks above the $4,251–$4,352 resistance zone. "Until buyers reclaim key averages, I see limited upside — base case is neutral while selling pressure persists near resistance."

Previously it was noted that BitMine increased its Ethereum holdings amid the market pullback, signaling confidence in the asset's long-term prospects. Analysts suggested that this decline could be a buying opportunity as the market has already seen significant gains since April, and that this decline was expected.
