Ethereum Technical Analysis: ETH/USD rebounds after testing $225 support, eyes on $250

  • Ethereum bounces off the weekly low, gains traction against the sellers as it approaches $240.
  • ETH/USD is technically inclined to make a comeback above $240 and rally above $250.

Ethereum price is trading at $235 on Sunday, during the European session. The price is below the moving averages in the hourly range. The 50 SMA holds at $236 while the 100 SMA stands at $238. Selling pressure is still present and limiting gains targeting $240 in the short term and $250 in the medium term.

Slightly below the market value is the first support at the 38.2% Fibonacci Level taken between the last swing high at $250 to a swing low at $225.57. An ascending trendline is also in line to provide support. Other support levels include $230, $225, and $210 (according to the daily confluence).

From a technical perspective, Ethereum is mostly in the hands of the bulls especially with the RSI heading towards the midline. Advance towards the overbought region would definitely encourage more buyers to join the market. Gains above $240 would also allow the bulls to shift their focus to $250. The resistance at the 50 SMA and the 100 SMA must, however, be dealt with accordingly to ensure that gains remain the bulls’ cup of tea in the coming week.

XRP approaches key support as risk-off sentiment deepens
Ripple (XRP) is trading at $1.06 on Monday, maintaining its position within a broader bearish trend. The token’s technical outlook continues to deteriorate, pressured by declining retail participation. Appetite for risk assets remains lethargic, as reflected in the Fear & Greed Index, which is embedded in the Fear territory at 28.
Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment
The cryptocurrency market remains weak on Monday, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling toward the nearest $62,000. Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) reflect the sell-off across altcoins, edging lower toward $1,800 and $1.05, respectively. Risk appetite remains subdued, as the Fear & Greed Index holds steady at 28, deep within Fear territory.
The Bitcoin futures yield collapse: Once over 20%, now less than Treasury notes
Once a goldmine for carry traders, Bitcoin futures have flipped, consistently underperforming plain‑vanilla U.S. Treasuries every month since February. Carry trades consistently yielded 20% or more across regulated and unregulated crypto exchanges during the 2021 bull market. The strategy involved shorting Bitcoin futures while simultaneously buying a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The crypto market is moving in the opposite direction to equities
The crypto market’s market capitalisation has fallen by 1% over the past 24 hours, returning to levels last seen in mid-July. The positive momentum the market showed in the first half of last week failed to take hold. Once again, we are seeing a negative correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index, this time in the form of falling cryptocurrencies while shares rise. Could this be becoming the new norm?
Bitcoin: Bulls hold the line
Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows.
