Until then, every move higher remains vulnerable to rejection.<\/p>\n<h1>Technical Analysis<\/h1>\n<p>By Shayan<\/p>\n<h3>The Daily Chart<\/h3>\n<p>On the daily chart, ETH continues to respect the descending trendline while still trading well below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, located around the $3,600 mark. This keeps the broader bias bearish, even though the price is slowly recovering from the capitulation low around 2.7k.<\/p>\n<p>The critical region remains $3,400-$3,500, where a key Fair Value Gap and bearish order block sit. If ETH can break and close above that level, it could signal a move toward the $4,000 zone.<\/p>\n<p>Support levels remain cleaner. The $2,900 short-term level held multiple times, and below that, $2,500 and $2,200 areas are the strong demand zones. As long as ETH stays above $2,900, buyers have a base to work with, but they still need a new higher high to confirm trend reversal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1422645\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1422645\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1422645 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"eth_price_chart_0812251\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-1536x807.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-2048x1076.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-90x47.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-2000x1051.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-1600x841.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-1400x736.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-1200x631.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-1000x525.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-900x473.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-800x420.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-500x263.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-400x210.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-200x105.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-Daily-100x53.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1422645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The 4-Hour Chart<\/h3>\n<p>The 4-hour chart shows ETH pushing into the descending trendline again after defending the $2,900 zone. This range is clearly acting as short-term support, but buyers haven\u2019t shown enough strength to reclaim the $3,200 recent high. The RSI is also mid-range, showing no exhaustion, but also no strong momentum.<\/p>\n<p>A rejection here sends ETH back toward $2,900 for another test. A clean breakout above $3,200, followed by a retest, would be the first real sign of bullish continuation. Without that, ETH simply remains stuck under trendline compression, and the risk of another liquidity grab to the downside stays open.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1422644\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1422644\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1422644 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"eth_price_chart_0812252\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-1536x807.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-2048x1076.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-90x47.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-2000x1051.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-1600x841.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-1400x736.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-1200x631.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-1000x525.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-900x473.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-800x420.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-500x263.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-400x210.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-200x105.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ETH-4H-3-100x53.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1422644\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>On-Chain Analysis<\/h2>\n<h3>Open Interest<\/h3>\n<p>Open Interest has been declining since September, while the price has also pulled back from the highs, indicating clear risk-off behavior. The most important part is that OI has not expanded during this recent bounce. That usually signals a lack of aggressive long positioning. Traders are cautious, not chasing the move, and still unwinding positions from the earlier rally.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of sentiment can actually fuel a stronger breakout later, because rallies that begin on low leverage tend to be healthier. But for now, it shows that the market doesn\u2019t fully trust the upside. A quick spike in OI during a trendline breakout would confirm real participation returning. Until then, ETH remains in a neutral-to-cautious sentiment phase.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1422646\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1422646\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1422646 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"eth_open_interest_chart_081225\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-90x51.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-2000x1125.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1422646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-price-analysis-eth-attempts-to-recover-above-3-2k-but-are-the-bears-done\/\">Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Attempts to Recover Above $3.2K But Are the Bears Done?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ETH is trying to build a short-term recovery, but the chart still reflects a market trapped under heavy macro resistance.
