The broader recovery remains intact, but weakening short-term momentum leaves the market vulnerable to a deeper pullback before another breakout attempt.<\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart<\/h2>\n<p>On the daily timeframe, Ethereum has entered a consolidation phase after its strong advance from the $1.85K\u2013$1.92K support zone. The rally briefly pushed toward $2.8K, but selling pressure around the $2.68K\u2013$2.77K resistance zone prevented a sustained breakout. Recent candles are clustered near the lower boundary of this zone, suggesting that buyers have yet to absorb the overhead supply.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the broader structure remains constructive. ETH continues to trade above the rising trendline, and both displayed moving averages, with the yellow average crossing above the orange average around $2.1K. This bullish crossover supports the recovery outlook, although the RSI has eased toward 60, indicating that momentum has cooled while remaining above neutral.<\/p>\n<p>A sustained breakout above the $2.77K resistance boundary and the recent $2.8K high could open the way toward the $2.9K\u2013$3K resistance zone. Conversely, continued rejection would bring the $2.35K\u2013$2.51K demand zone into focus, where the rising trendline provides additional technical confluence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1450087\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1940\" height=\"1329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1.jpg 1940w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-1536x1052.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-90x62.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-131x90.jpg 131w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-1600x1096.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-1400x959.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-1200x822.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-1000x685.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-900x617.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-800x548.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-700x480.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-600x411.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-500x343.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-400x274.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-200x137.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-D-4-1-100x69.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1940px) 100vw, 1940px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>ETH\/USDT 4-Hour Chart<\/h2>\n<p>The 4-hour chart highlights repeated rejections from the $2.68K\u2013$2.77K supply zone, while an ascending support trendline has helped maintain progressively higher lows. ETH is now testing this trendline around $2.65K\u2013$2.66K after another unsuccessful attempt to sustain a move into resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Holding this support could allow buyers to challenge the $2.72K\u2013$2.77K resistance area again. However, a convincing bullish continuation would require a sustained break above the supply zone and the recent highs near $2.8K.<\/p>\n<p>A decisive break below the ascending trendline would weaken the immediate bullish structure and expose the $2.6K support area, followed by the earlier swing low around $2.56K. If selling pressure extends, the highlighted $2.44K\u2013$2.48K demand zone would become the next important area for buyers to defend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1450088\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1940\" height=\"1329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1.jpg 1940w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-1536x1052.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-90x62.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-131x90.jpg 131w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-1600x1096.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-1400x959.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-1200x822.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-1000x685.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-900x617.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-800x548.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-700x480.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-600x411.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-500x343.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-400x274.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-200x137.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ETH-4H-4-1-100x69.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1940px) 100vw, 1940px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>The Binance ETH\/USDT liquidation heatmap shows substantial estimated liquidation concentrations on both sides of the current price. The most prominent nearby downside band sits around $2.62K, with additional concentrations extending toward $2.55K\u2013$2.6K. Above price, a strong cluster is visible around $2.75K\u2013$2.78K, alongside a broader concentration toward $2.8K.<\/p>\n<p>This positioning places Ethereum between two meaningful liquidation pools. A loss of the 4-hour ascending support could expose the $2.62K cluster, where long liquidations may amplify the decline. Conversely, reclaiming the nearby resistance zone could bring the overhead $2.75K\u2013$2.8K liquidity into play and potentially accelerate an upward move through short liquidations.<\/p>\n<p>The heatmap does not establish which side will be reached first. However, its alignment with the technical levels suggests that a break from the current consolidation could trigger a sharper move as leveraged positions unwind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1450089\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-768x453.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-1536x907.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-2048x1209.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-90x53.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-2000x1181.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-1600x945.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-1400x827.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-1200x709.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-1000x590.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-900x531.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-800x472.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-700x413.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-600x354.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-500x295.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-400x236.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-200x118.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Binance_ETH_USDT_Liquidation_Heatmap1_week_2026_09_30_10_33_59jpg-100x59.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-price-prediction-3k-is-still-in-play-but-eth-must-clear-this-key-hurdle-first\/\">Ethereum Price Prediction: $3K Is Still in Play, But ETH Must Clear This Key Hurdle First<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum\u2019s rally has stalled beneath a key supply zone, with \u0442\u0445\u0435 \u0430\u0441\u0441\u0435\u0442 trading slightly above $2.7K as buyers attempt to preserve the recent bullish structure.
