Ethereum Price Today: ETH Hints at $3,000 Revisit
Highlights
- Ethereum price remains steadfast despite market-wide correction.
- Ethereum price continues to sustain its gains despite a sell signal on the daily chart.
- A bounce off $3,500 support level could propel ETH to $4,000.
Despite the recent Bitcoin crash, Ethereum (ETH) price today trades at $3,623.7 as of 11 PM. Surprisingly, ETH performance during the recent crash is much better than most altcoins. Regardless, Ethereum prices today hit a daily high of $3,663.1 after -0.31% move on October 4.
Ethereum Price Today Follows BTC’s Drop: What’s Next?
Ethereum price performance relative to its peers showed strength, but the recent $2 billion worth of BTC moved by the US Government coupled with Korea’s Martial Law could be causing Bitcoin to slide lower. If this trend continues, it could weigh against ETH’s strength and could catalyze a drop. Will Ether hit $3,000 first or climb up to revisit $4,000?
Regardless, ETH’s strength shows a paradigm shift that hints at an end of Ether’s boring 2024 performance has ended and that it is ready to compete with top altcoins and even BTC. Furthermore, a sideways movement in BTC or a climb toward $100k could catalyze ETH price to extend its gains.
Ethereum Price Chart Today
*Ethereum price updated as of 11 PM.
Ethereum’s innovative smart contract technology has made it a standout altcoin since its inception in 2015. Continuous major network upgrades ensure Ethereum stays ahead in smart contract innovation. The latest upgrade, Cancun, launched on March 13, 2024.
Ethereum Price Outlook
ETH’s year-to-date (YTD) performance continues to increase and currently sits at 33%. This recent slump in Bitcoin price has affected the YTD gains, which have dropped from 50% since November 11. As of October 4, 2024, if you invested $10,000 in ETH on January 1, 2024, your portfolio, after 317 days, would be up roughly $3,317. Ethereum’s market capitalization stands at $436.4 billion.
Ethereum: The Second-Largest Crypto By Market Cap
Ethereum ranks second in market capitalization, valued at $436.4 billion, after Bitcoin’s $1.73 trillion. Together, BTC & ETH’s market capitalization constitutes 83% of the total crypto market cap.
- Solana (SOL): $98.8 billion
- Ripple (XRP): $89.8 billion
- BNB (BNB): $91.0 billion
Despite this recent downtick and recovery, the 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $39.4 billion.
Ethereum’s Crypto Trading Volume Soars
The 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $39.4 billion. Binance is the largest contributor to this trading volume – about 11% is contributed by spot trading and nearly 40% from futures trading. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, and ByBit follow Binance.
Ethereum Morphs to Proof-of-Stake Technology
The London hard fork is a significant Ethereum blockchain upgrade. It changed the network from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter). He explained how Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is more decentralized than Proof-of-Work (PoW).
Key Ethereum Blockchain Upgrades in the Past 5 Years
Here are some key upgrades in the past five years that shaped Ethereum as the second-largest crypto by market capitalization.
2024:
- Cancun-Deneb (“Dencun”): This upgrade aimed to improve Ethereum’s scalability, security, and usability, setting the stage for further enhancements.
- Shanghai-Capella (“Shapella”): Enabled the withdrawal of staked Ether (ETH), marking a significant milestone in Ethereum’s transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm.
- Paris (The Merge): Successfully transitioned Ethereum from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, reducing energy consumption and increasing security.
- Bellatrix: Prepared the Ethereum network for The Merge by introducing the necessary PoS consensus logic.
- Gray Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” that would have slowed down the network, ensuring a smooth transition to PoS.
- Arrow Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” again, providing more time for the transition to PoS.
- Altair: Introduced several improvements to the Beacon Chain, including better validator incentives and enhanced security.
- London: Implemented the highly anticipated EIP-1559, which reformed the transaction fee market, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
- Berlin: Introduced several protocol upgrades, including improved gas efficiency and enhanced security features.
- Beacon Chain genesis: Launched the Beacon Chain, marking the beginning of Ethereum’s transition to PoS.
- Staking deposit contract deployed: Enabled users to deposit ETH and participate in the PoS consensus algorithm.
-
Muir Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” to ensure a smooth transition to PoS.
ETH Gas & It’s Effect on Ethereum Price
The blockchain upgrades Ethereum receives aim to solve the trilemma of blockchain, i.e., balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted post-upgrade, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.
As of October 4, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 11 PM is 14 Gwei.
When Ethereum’s on-chain value grows, presenting opportunities, investors flock, driving gas fees up. This typically occurs during market upswings, peaking at all-time highs.

Between 2023 and 2050, Ethereum’s price will most likely follow the bullish outlook and aim for the six-digit territory. The lowest price point is $16,092.58, and the highest price of Ether is $145,915.83.
Ethereum Price Analysis: Sell Signals Weigh ETH Bulls Down
Ethereum price has set up a higher highs since November 11 while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has created lower high. This non-conformity is termed bearish divergence and often leads to a correction in price.
With Bitcoin looking weak and dropping down to the $95.5k level, it is obvious that ETH is also showing signs of exhaustion. If this trend continues, Ether will confirm a daily candlestick close below the rising wedge formation. A breakdown of this setup coupled with the bearish divergence makes a strong case for a correction.
Investors must watch the $3,497 and $3,352 support levels, which are key barriers that will either make or break this short-term bearish scenario. A flip of $3,352 into resistance will likely catalyze a swift 14% crash to $3,000 or a brief dip below it.
The RSI clearly shows that it is hovering above the mean level of 50 with lower highs, indicating a decline in bullish momentum. A breakdown below 50 will signal a spike in bearish momentum and could exacerbate the correction to $3,000.
On the contrary, if Ethereum price fails to breach the $3,352 support, it would signal strength from buyers, accumulating ETH. In such a case, investors should expect a bounce from $3,500 that will aim to retest $4,000.
