Ethereum’s Wild Ride: Will It Hit $3,000 or Just Keep Us Guessing?

by

Ah, Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, or as I like to call it, the overachieving middle child of the crypto family. It decided to stretch its legs a bit this Tuesday morning, climbing back up after a dramatic plunge to $2,500 on May 23. Talk about a rollercoaster ride! 🎢

As of now, ETH has managed to pull itself up by its digital bootstraps, boasting a 2.89% increase in the last 24 hours, landing at a cozy $2,636. Not too shabby, especially when it’s outpacing the top 10 cryptocurrencies like a sprinter at a family reunion. 🏃‍♂️💨

But wait! Just when you think it’s smooth sailing, Ethereum hits a familiar roadblock: the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $2,699. This technical hurdle has been more stubborn than my cat when I try to get her off my keyboard. Since May 13, ETH has been trying to break through this barrier like a kid trying to sneak into a movie theater. 🎬

Traders are watching this barrier like hawks. If ETH can manage to leap over it, we might just see a fresh upswing, with dreams of $3,000 dancing in our heads. 💭💰

Meanwhile, on the macroeconomic front, everyone is holding their breath for this Friday’s Core PCE print. It’s like waiting for the results of a family DNA test—everyone’s anxious to see how it will affect the Federal Reserve’s decisions. 📊

Ethereum’s Path to $3,000

Now, let’s talk about Ethereum’s journey to $3,000. Spoiler alert: it’s not going to be a walk in the park. Aside from the $2,700 mark, there are more hurdles ahead than at an Olympic track meet. 🏅

On-chain analytics firm Glassnode has spotted a cluster of investor cost basis levels around $2,800 for ETH. As the price creeps closer to this level, expect sell-side pressure to ramp up. It’s like watching a group of friends decide who’s going to pay the bill—nobody wants to be the one left holding the bag! 💳

In May, ETH finally broke above its Realized Price of $1,900, bringing the average holder back into the green. Glassnode noted that the ETH price is now above the True Market Mean of $2,400, which is a bullish sign. But let’s not get too excited; reclaiming the Active Realized Price of $2,900 is still crucial for building confidence. It’s like trying to convince your parents you’re responsible enough to have a pet. 🐶
