The crypto space is beginning to turn. Bitcoin (BTC) is the preferred crypto flavour of the month since it has bounced back from the lows of $88,000 to above $91,000, gobbling up liquidity across the board, highlighting how tricky weekends can be. However, there is another key player that is not getting nearly as much attention as the crypto gold. The altcoin king, Ethereum ETH $3,162.28 2.72% Ethereum ETH Price $3,162.28 2.72% /24h Volume in 24h $23.19B Price 7d , has managed to maintain its position above the $3,000 support zone, and is currently trading at Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Is this the moment when ETH rallies? On-chain data from Coinglass highlights that ETH saw inflows of $140 million on 3 December 2025, coinciding with the long-awaited Fusaka upgrade. For now, ETH is holding up well, with its price action trading above the 20, 50, and 100-day EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages), indicating that buyers are stepping in to protect key levels. (Source: TradingView) The RSI is sitting at 58, hinting at more upside to come before it reaches overbought territory. If ETH manages to push above $3,270 and hold on a daily close, it would all but confirm the rally. A strong close on the 4-hour chart works as well. However, if it fails to hold the resistance level, then the $2850–$2815 zone is where buyers may step back in. For now, the mood is cautious since weekend pumps generally fade early into the week. $ETH continues to outperform $BTC, and the $ETHBTC chart makes that clear. The trendline break held through a small retest, and momentum is still pointing upward. That gives ETH a structural advantage right now. Inside the current range I wouldn’t take trades.
