Analyst Highlights Ethereum Key Levels With $2,772 Being Strongest — Details

2025/12/20 20:00

The Ethereum market has seen an eventful display throughout 2025, kicking off the year with bearish momentum, where it witnessed a significant downturn of over 60% as of April. Interestingly, this year also marked the establishment of a new all-time-high for the king of altcoins, reaching values around $4,955 in August. 

At the moment, Ethereum has deviated by nearly 40% from its all-time-high price, raising questions concerning how the token would end the year. Notably, market analyst Ali Martinez has published a recent analysis, highlighting significant price levels that the bullish speculations ultimately depend on.

URPD Reveals Significant Accumulation At $2,772 — What This Means 

In an X post on December 19, Martinez reports that specific price zones should at least serve as cushions to Ethereum’s bearish move. The post relies on data obtained from the URPD (UTXO Realized Price Distribution) metric, which reveals price levels where the current supply of a cryptocurrency last moved on-chain.

In the chart shared below, we see a high concentration of acquired Ethereum supply at the $2,772 price mark, suggesting that a significant number of investors purchased their holdings at this price, or around it. Therefore, investors are more likely to defend their holdings around this level, thus transforming it into a strong psychological support.

Interestingly, more tokens are expected to be purchased at this level, adding to the amount of buy momentum, counteracting the extant sell-pressure. If Ethereum, however, attempts a further push to the upside, significant resistance levels at the $3,211 and $3,224 price levels lie in wait.

$2,489 And $1,866 Next Supports In Line If $2,772 Fails

If its heavily-defended support fails, the Ethereum price could see a free-fall towards the next psychological support. Martinez points out that this cushion sits at $2,489. From the chart, a fair bit of ETH supply was last transacted at this price region. Because the magnitude of transactions is ostensibly insignificant, $2,489 could likely only provide temporary relief to the falling Ethereum price, if it is reached.

Therefore, there could be a continued series of sales until the Ether token sees its last significant support around the $1,866 price. In this scenario, the Ethereum market would be experiencing a major sentiment shift as a result of its uncurbed fall to its last support.  As of this writing, Ethereum is valued at approximately $2,987. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that the token has gained by 5.56% in 24 hours.

SEC Backs Nasdaq, CBOE, NYSE Push to Simplify Crypto ETF Rules

SEC Backs Nasdaq, CBOE, NYSE Push to Simplify Crypto ETF Rules

The US SEC on Wednesday approved new listing rules for major exchanges, paving the way for a surge of crypto spot exchange-traded funds. On Wednesday, the regulator voted to let Nasdaq, Cboe BZX and NYSE Arca adopt generic listing standards for commodity-based trust shares. The decision clears the final hurdle for asset managers seeking to launch spot ETFs tied to cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ether. In July, the SEC outlined how exchanges could bring new products to market under the framework. Asset managers and exchanges must now meet specific criteria, but will no longer need to undergo drawn-out case-by-case reviews. Solana And XRP Funds Seen to Be First In Line Under the new system, the time from filing to launch can shrink to as little as 75 days, compared with up to 240 days or more under the old rules. “This is the crypto ETP framework we’ve been waiting for,” Bloomberg research analyst James Seyffart said on X, predicting a wave of new products in the coming months. The first filings likely to benefit are those tracking Solana and XRP, both of which have sat in limbo for more than a year. SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the approval reflects a commitment to reduce barriers and foster innovation while maintaining investor protections. The move comes under the administration of President Donald Trump, which has signaled strong support for digital assets after years of hesitation during the Biden era. New Standards Replace Lengthy Reviews And Repeated Denials Until now, the commission reviewed each application separately, requiring one filing from the exchange and another from the asset manager. This dual process often dragged on for months and led to repeated denials. Even Bitcoin spot ETFs, finally approved in Jan. 2024, arrived only after years of resistance and a legal battle with Grayscale. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the streamlined rules could apply to any cryptocurrency with at least six months of futures trading on the Coinbase Derivatives Exchange. That means more than a dozen tokens may now qualify for listing, potentially unleashing a new wave of altcoin ETFs. SEC Clears Grayscale Large Cap Fund Tracking CoinDesk 5 Index The SEC also approved the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which tracks the CoinDesk 5 Index, including Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana and Cardano. Alongside this, it cleared the launch of options linked to the Cboe Bitcoin US ETF Index and its mini contract, broadening the set of crypto-linked derivatives on regulated US markets. Analysts say the shift shows how far US policy has moved. Where once regulators resisted digital assets, the latest changes show a growing willingness to bring them into the mainstream financial system under established safeguards
