ETH breaks below $3,280 – What’s next?

Published: Jan 28, 2025

Ethereum remains stuck in a tight range, failing to break above $3,280 resistance while holding $3,050 support. With high open interest and a balanced funding rate, will ETH finally see a breakout? Let’s analyze the market action.

  • ETH's Open Interest is still sky-high due to the cash-and-carry trade. It's becoming somewhat pointless to look at ETH's OI because of this.
  • ETH's Funding Rate is at 0.008%, suggesting there's an even mix of Longs and Shorts.
ETH's open interest (by number of coins): 3. Ethereum futures open interest chart displaying rising interest alongside ETH price fluctuations, indicating market participation trends.

Technical analysis

  • ETH has broken down from its main horizontal resistance of $3,480 and is also rejected at the main downtrend line.
  • Price has then broken below the next horizontal level of $3,280, but we are seeing the $3,050 hold as support for now.
  • The RSI is in middle territory, but it's in a downtrend and also below its moving average.
  • The key breakout will be a move above $3,480 and a break above the downtrend line.
4. Ethereum price chart with supportresistance levels, trendlines, and RSI analysis, showing possible downside support zone.
  • Next Support: $3,050
  • Next Resistance: $3,280 (then $3,480)
  • Direction: Neutral/Bearish
  • Upside Target: $3,280
  • Downside Target: $2,900

Cryptonary's take

ETH has been pretty boring here, and there isn't a mega-development beyond our last update. However, the new information we have is that ETH hasn't broken out of its downtrend line, and it's now also below the horizontal level of $3,280 - last time, it was butting up to $3,480 (the key breakout level).

It's possible ETH can move back up to $3,400 - $3,500; however, we wouldn't be surprised if the Yellow box is eventually filled in the coming weeks. Again, this is another that we'll wait on for it to show us direction.
