Ethereum shows strong long-term fundamentals, but short-term movement depends on key support levels.
Notably, Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $2,975, showing a 1.2% drop over the past 24 hours, with the price testing key support around $2,912. On the upside, immediate resistance lies just above $3,000
Ethereum’s performance has been relatively muted in recent days, with only a 0.4% gain over the past week and a 1.7% increase in the last 14 days, signaling that short-term momentum is slowing.
However, despite the short-term decline, Ethereum’s fundamentals remain strong. The increasing number of staking entries, coupled with institutional purchases like Bitmine’s acquisition of 44,463 ETH, indicates long-term confidence in the network. Nonetheless, in the short run, Ethereum’s price action will depend on whether it can hold support and break through resistance.
Ethereum Needs to Close Above This Support
From a technical standpoint, Ethereum is testing the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level at $2,934.93, with the next resistance zone lying near the 0.382 Fibonacci level at $3,032. A breakthrough above this level could open the door for Ethereum to target the 0.5 level at $3,111, signaling a potential continuation of the recent uptrend.

On the downside, the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement at $2,934 serves as key support, and ETH must close above this level to maintain its position. If Ethereum fails to close above this support, it may fall toward the $2,700-$2,800 range.
Meanwhile, momentum indicators are showing a positive shift, with the Stochastic RSI in overbought territory at 82.97, indicating strong buying pressure. However, caution is advised as the blue line has touched the overbought region. Ultimately, Ethereum’s ability to close above key support and break through resistance will dictate its near-term direction.
Ethereum’s Entry Queue Has Surpassed the Exit Queue

In addition, institutional interest in Ethereum remains strong, with significant purchases continuing even during the holiday season. Last week, BitMine acquired 44,463 ETH, bringing its total holdings to 4.11 million ETH

Charles Schwab Wealth Management Warning: Allocating 1%-3% of an investment portfolio to BTC/ETH can significantly alter the risk profile.
Gate News message: On April 7, the U.S. financial giant Charles Schwab released a research bulletin warning that even if only 1%-3% of funds are allocated to Bitcoin or Ethereum within an investment portfolio, it may significantly change the portfolio’s overall risk characteristics. The research report notes that Bitcoin and Ethereum have both historically experienced drawdowns of more than 70%, far higher than the volatility levels of stocks or bonds; therefore, even small allocations can have a noticeable impact during periods of market volatility. Charles Schwab proposed two cryptocurrency allocation approaches: one is the traditional portfolio theory method, which allocates based on expected returns, volatility, and correlation; the other is a risk-based method, which determines the share of crypto assets according to the level of risk one is willing to take, shifting the focus from returns to risk tolerance.
