Ethereum remains nearly 40% below its all-time high reached in August this year. The recent price movement follows several key developments in the market.

Lower exchange supply means fewer tokens available for immediate selling. This reduction typically decreases selling pressure in the market.
The upcoming Fusaka upgrade has generated community interest. The upgrade is potentially scheduled for December 3 and would be the network’s largest update since The Merge.
The Fusaka upgrade aims to address data availability for rollups. This represents one of the network’s most pressing bottlenecks.

This follows three consecutive weeks of outflows that totaled $1.7 billion. The shift in ETF flows has supported the recent price recovery.

BitMine has not officially confirmed this specific transaction. The company announced buying $200 million worth of ETH just days earlier.
BitMine currently holds 3,629,701 ETH worth approximately $10.9 billion. This represents around 3% of total Ethereum supply.
The company has stated its goal of accumulating 5% of total supply. BitMine Chair Tom Lee has expressed support for Ethereum on multiple occasions.
Technical Outlook
The daily chart shows Ethereum broke out of a falling wedge pattern. This pattern forms when price creates consecutive lower lows and lower highs within two converging descending trendlines.
A breakout from this pattern typically signals a potential shift from bearish to bullish. The $3,096 level marks the next key resistance, which is the 200-day moving average.
A move above this level could trigger a rally toward $3,600. This zone aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
If Ethereum fails to hold $3,000 support, the price could drop to $2,750. This level aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.
Tom Lee predicted ETH could trade between $7,000 and $9,000 by the end of January 2026. He said in a recent interview that ETH would bottom near $2,500 before rising.
