Ethereum has reclaimed the $3,000 level after a sharp rebound late in the session, extending a 24-hour upswing that outpaced Bitcoin’s advance. The recovery comes amid high volatility and persistent macro uncertainty, but the latest momentum shift shows renewed demand at lower price zones.
Ethereum Rebounds Strongly After Steep Intraday Drop
The chart shows a pronounced V-shaped recovery unfolding over the past several hours. ETH slid below $2,750 before buyers stepped in aggressively, driving price back to the $3,010–$3,020 range. The move erased much of the prior drawdown and signals that dip-buyers continue to defend key short-term support.
The graphic also highlights a period of stalled consolidation earlier in the week, followed by a sharp dislocation and equally sharp reversal. Trading volume spiked at the lows, indicating that the rebound was backed by genuine liquidity rather than thin market action.
ETH Outperforms Bitcoin Over 24 Hours
Ethereum’s +9% 24-hour change stands out against Bitcoin’s 7%, underscoring relative strength in the ETH market today. The data indicates that the rebound was not isolated but part of a broader shift in risk appetite across major assets.
ETH is now trading around $3,007–$3,012, placing it back above a psychologically important threshold that had acted as resistance during the earlier decline.
Momentum Returns, But Indicators Show Mixed Conditions
Short-term metrics reflect a market still on uneven footing:
- •Current Price: $3,004
- •Volatility: 9% (high)
- •50-Day SMA: $3,448 (ETH trading below trend)
- •200-Day SMA: $3,405 (downward pressure remains)
- •14-Day RSI: 34.2 (neutral, recovering from near-oversold)
- •Sentiment: Bearish
- •Green Days: 13/30 (43%)
The combined metrics suggest that although ETH recovered sharply, the broader trend remains cautious. Price continues to sit beneath both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, signaling that structural resistance still lies overhead.
The RSI’s position near mid-30s shows momentum stabilizing but not yet signaling a clear shift into strength.
Key Levels To Watch Moving Forward
Today’s recovery puts ETH back into a zone where bulls and bears have repeatedly contested control. The chart highlights $3,000 as a recurring pivot level, a line Ethereum must hold to avoid another retest of the $2,750–$2,800 region.
On the upside, reclaiming the 50-day SMA near $3,448 would mark a meaningful break in trend structure.
Ethereum’s swift rebound above $3,000 shows traders are willing to step in during high-volatility dips, even as sentiment remains fragile. With extreme fear still dominating broader market indicators, the next sessions will test whether this recovery has staying power, or whether it becomes another short-lived reaction in a wider consolidation phase.
