She noted that while the dynamic \u201ccreates short-term downward pressure,\u201d it does not suggest panic. Instead, she described it as controlled profit-taking within an ongoing uptrend and expects ETH to find strong buyer interest around the $2,955 to $3,000 zone before resuming its climb toward $5,000.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI believe the price will find buyers around this level,\u201d the trader wrote. \u201cThe main trend remains upward, and I expect these buyers to potentially push the price toward $5,000 by the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Similarly, chart technician Ted Pillows <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TedPillows\/status\/1985992273344249964\">identified<\/a> $3,500\u2013$3,600 as the key zone to reclaim for any bullish momentum to emerge. According to him, the asset could be pushed back toward the $2,800 support area if it fails to break above that range.<\/p>\n<h2>Network Activity Slows as Price Consolidates<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the charts, Ethereum\u2019s network fundamentals have also weakened, with daily active addresses <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/daily-active-addresses-crater-on-ethereum-eth-price-slide-is-following-exactly-on-cue\/\">cratering<\/a> by 24% since mid-August. In the past, when there was less activity on the blockchain, prices tended to go down as well, because there were fewer transactions and less interest in dApps.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, at the market, CoinGecko data shows ETH is down 12.2% in the last seven days and 28% across the month, underperforming Bitcoin\u2019s modest rebound. The ETH\/BTC ratio stands at 0.03284 BTC, indicating a shift in capital toward Bitcoin. However, Ethereum is <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-eth-pullback-deeper-than-expected-bounce-setup-or-more-pain-ahead\/\">trading<\/a> above its two-year trendline support, which it has held since 2022. Many observers consider this structure to be the last major defense before a potential bounce.<\/p>\n<p>For now, sentiment remains mixed. Liquidity clusters around $2,800\u2013$3,000 are drawing attention as potential accumulation zones, while bulls are looking to reclaim $3,600 to confirm renewed strength. But with both technical and macro pressures in play, including U.S. Federal Reserve tightening and ongoing liquidity outflows, traders appear cautious.<\/p>\n<p>Still, as PelinayPA\u2019s analysis suggested, the broader trend remains constructive. If Ethereum can defend its current support and regain key resistance zones, the path toward $5,000 by year-end may still be within reach, albeit a steeper climb than once expected.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-sellers-dominate-but-5k-year-end-target-holds-firm\/\">Ethereum Sellers Dominate, But $5K Year-End Target Holds Firm<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum (ETH) fell to a four-month low of $3,160 yesterday, erasing its yearly gains and sparking a wave of liquidations.
