The golden cross is widely regarded as a bullish momentum signal. This technical formation, where the 50-day moving average climbs above the 200-day moving average, last occurred on Ethereum\u2019s daily candlestick chart in December 2024 and resulted in an 18% surge.<\/p>\n<p>This time, though, the story is very different. Rather <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum\/ethereum-indecision-close\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">than triggering another rally<\/a>, Ethereum\u2019s price action<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/eth\/ethereum-price-drops-2350\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> has been quite flat, <\/a>which makes it difficult to imagine a break above $3,000 very soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Lack Of Follow-Through Shows Ethereum\u2019s Weakness<\/h2>\n<p>According to technical analysis initially noted on the social media platform X, Ethereum recently exhibited a golden cross. However, according to the analyst, this was a failed golden cross, as Ethereum\u2019s price barely moved when it happened on the daily timeframe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The analyst, who goes by the name Honey on the social media platform,<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/honey_xbt\/status\/1940384098268086766\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> noted that the lack of movement<\/a> shows more profound issues in current market conditions, especially in terms of liquidity and sentiment. The golden cross should have injected life into Ethereum\u2019s price action, but instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum\/ethereum-price-stagnates-as-on-chain-data-shows-whale-accumulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">it shows the absence of momentum.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-522991\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Ethereum-chart-from-Honey.png?w=512&amp;resize=512%2C225\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"512\" height=\"225\"><\/p>\n<p>Ethereum\u2019s price performance following the crossover has made the pattern feel more like a false signal than what the golden crossover is mostly known as. The chart below shows that while the moving averages did cross, the price action around that moment was uneventful and even slightly bearish. This is a huge difference from what happened in December 2024, when the same pattern was followed by a quick upside push. Back then, Ethereum\u2019s price surged by about 18% to touch $4,000 very briefly.<\/p>\n<h2>Return To $3,000 Might Take Longer Than Expected<\/h2>\n<p>The bigger takeaway is not just the failed breakout, but what it implies about the coming quarter. According to the analyst, this entire crypto market might witness a sluggish and choppy Q3, particularly if<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum\/ethereum-indecision-close\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> Bitcoin is below the $111,000 mark.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In this environment, it\u2019s difficult to imagine Ethereum making a clean run to the $3,000 milestone any time soon. The lack of momentum does not bode well for bullish forecasts, even though Ethereum has so far<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-eyes-set-on-breakout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \"> held its ground at support levels<\/a> around $2,400.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,548, down by 2.1% in the past 24 hours. Data from CoinGecko shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-ethereum-altcoin-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">the leading altcoin reached <\/a>an intraday high of $2,630 in the past 24 hours, but it has failed to hold up this momentum. For Ethereum to break out of its current zone and move to $3,000, it would need a wave of liquidity and confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This recent volatility is tough for Ethereum\u2019s bullish prospects, but<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/eth\/ethereum-price-gathers-strength-2550\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> its long-term outlook <\/a>is relatively strong. Interestingly, one particular analyst believes that Ethereum is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum\/ethereum-looks-strong-despite-volatility-10000-price-target-gains-momentum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">going above $10,000 this cycle.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/uVaPiCBm\/\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"2108\" height=\"1502\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical analysis shows Ethereum has just exhibited a failed golden cross on the 1-day candlestick timeframe chart.
