Ethereum Price Today: Sell Signal Threatens ETH’s $4,000 Breakout Rally

Highlights

  • Ethereum price looks bullish on the daily chart with its recent breakout above $3,500 hurdle.
  • However, a bearish divergence plagues this optimistic outlook and threatens a drop.
  • If the recent show of strength persists and Bitcoin does not crash, ETH could easily climb to $4,000.

Despite the recent Bitcoin crash, Ethereum (ETH) price trades today at $3,598.3 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 $3,649.2 after 0.19% move on October 25.

Ethereum Price Today: Why is ETH Up?

Ethereum price performance relative to its peers shows strength. While altcoins gave gains back to the market due to Bitcoin’s sudden downtrend, Ethereum price climbs higher. This strength shows a paradigm shift that hints at an end of Ether’s lackluster performance. If BTC consolidates or climbs higher, the ETH price could extend its gains. But a drop in BTC toward $90k could delay this uptrend.   could drop lower or climb higher.

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 25, 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 $433.4 billion.

Ethereum: The Second-Largest Crypto By Market Cap

Ethereum ranks second in market capitalization, valued at $433.4 billion, after Bitcoin’s $1.73 trillion. Together, BTC & ETH’s market capitalization constitutes 83% of the total crypto market cap.

Since its all-time high of $571 billion in November 2021, Ethereum’s value decreased by half in October, but has spiked recently due to Bitcoin’s new ATH. Still, Ethereum maintains a strong lead over other popular cryptocurrencies:
  • 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 $28.7 billion.

Ethereum’s Crypto Trading Volume Soars

The 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $28.7 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 Upgrades 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).

Notable Ethereum Blockchain Upgrades in 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.
2023:
  • 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.
2022:
  • 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.
2021:
  • 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.
2020:
  • 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.

How ETH Gas Affects 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 25, 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: ETH Breaks Out, Eyes $4,000, but at What Cost?

Ethereum price consolidated under the $3,500 hurdle for nearly two weeks and broke out on November 27 with a near-10% daily candlestick. This move, while impressive, it not decisive and could come undone due to the bearish divergence sell signal.

A bearish divergence sell signal is formed when the price produces a higher high and the Relative Strength Index (RIS) forms a lower high. This non-conformity suggests lack of momentum supporting the uptrend and often leads to a correction. 

This sell signal now threatens the recent Ethereum price breakout. There are two ways this outlook could unfold:

  1. Ethereum price has shown strength during the recent Bitcoin-led crash. While most altcoins tumbled, ETH remained strong. This strength could suggest that Ether will overcome the selling pressure and continue its ascent to hit the $4,000 psychological level again.
  2. The second outlook could unfold as Bitcoin price extends its crash and visits the $90,000 support level. Such a steep correction could see Ethereum price drop below the $3,500 hurdle and visit the $3,000 to $2,886 support zone.

Regardless of what happens the sell signal posed by the bearish divergence is short-term and does not ruin the long-term bullish outlook.

On the other hand, if Ethereum price breaches below the $3,000 level with a weekly candlestick close and BTC slides below $90,000, it would invalidate the bullish thesis. Such a development could see ETH crash and revisit the $2,500 level.
