The Ethereum price has struggled to reclaim the critical $3,000 mark for the past 48 hours, raising concerns about potential declines in the cryptocurrency\u2019s value if this essential support level is not regained by the end of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analyst Predicts Further Downside<\/span><\/h2>\n

Market analyst Ted Pillows <\/span>pointed out <\/span><\/a>on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that without a quick recovery above $3,000, Ethereum could face further downside pressures, possibly dropping toward the $2,800 range in the near term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This scenario would indicate an additional retracement of approximately 5% from its current trading price, which hovers just above $2,940. This ongoing struggle adds to the 16% decline recorded in the monthly time frame, highlighting the precarious situation for broader cryptocurrency prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another analyst, Columbus, sought to understand Ethereum\u2019s lackluster performance relative to <\/span>Bitcoin <\/span><\/a>(BTC). He noted that Ethereum continues to trade below its Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), struggling to gain traction above this critical metric.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The bounce observed from the $2,800 to $2,850 range appears more responsive than impulsive, in the analyst\u2019s words, suggesting that while there are buying interests, conviction in the rally remains weak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Columbus further <\/span>remarked <\/span><\/a>that there is considerable liquidity layered overhead, particularly within the $3,050 to $3,250 zone. This liquidity has successfully capped any attempts to push prices higher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless Ethereum can reclaim this area and achieve consistent acceptance above it, upward movements are likely to be more about short-term rotations into supply rather than genuine trend continuation.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the downside, a failure to hold the $2,850 mark could expose Ethereum to deeper losses, potentially leading to a downturn toward lower<\/span> liquidity levels<\/span><\/a> between $2,400 and $2,700, where the bulk of liquidity is concentrated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will Ethereum Drop To $1,300 In 2026?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Looking further into the future, market expert CryptoBullet painted a more somber picture of Ethereum\u2019s potential trajectory for 2026. He has <\/span>introduced <\/span><\/a>a new fractal model for Ethereum that suggests bearish outcomes for investors anticipating a bull run next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a social media post, CryptoBullet presented a daily chart of Ethereum, outlining key price targets and indicating that while a price recovery might occur in January and February, subsequent months could see a significant downturn.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to this analysis, Ethereum\u2019s brief recovery could falter against existing <\/span>resistance levels<\/span><\/a> between $3,600 and $3,800, potentially culminating in a dramatic decline to a target price of $1,385.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If this fractal model mimics Ethereum\u2019s performance in 2022, it could signify a staggering 63% drop in value for the leading altcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n
