For over a month, the second largest cryptocurrency Ethereum(ETH) has been trading sideways resonating between two horizontal levels of $2140 and $2400. Despite a heavy sell-off on January 4th, the ETH price showcased its sustainability above the $2140 support which is above the safety net of 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. The combined support could offer buyers an opportunity to revive the exhausted bullish momentum and extend the recovery trend.
Will Market Correction Push Ethereum Price Below $2000
- A bullish breakout from $2400 will release the buildup of bullish momentum
- A confluence of several technical levels creates strong support at $2140
- The intraday trading volume in Ether is $10.2 Billion, indicating a 45% gain.
Ethereum Price| TradingView Chart
Amid the increasing uncertainty in the crypto market, the Ethereum price witnessed another reversal from the $2400 resistance. In the last five days, the coin price plunged 7.5% to currently trade at $2247.
The buyers are obtaining suitable support at the combined support of $2140 and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. Such a degree of correction indicates the buyers continue to have an upper hand over this asset which may result in a stronger bounce back.
Moreover, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is showing signs of moving closer to the approval of the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. This progress is marked by the submission of amended 19b-4 filings by exchanges that are expected to list these ETFs.
With a high possibility of spot Bitcoin approval next week, the newcomers can look for bullish reversal opportunities at $2140 support. A potential bounce back from this support could push the coin price 7% to challenge $2400, whose breakout will better confirm an uptrend continuation.
The post-breakout rally could surge the ETH price to $2675 and higher.

In recent market trends, Bitcoin and Ethereum have both shown a pattern of gradual recovery with higher highs and lows. However, the ETH price has somewhat underperformed, evidenced by the formation of a new lower high in its price trajectory. The anticipated approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF is expected to provide a significant boost to Bitcoin’s market sentiment, potentially increasing its appeal to a broader range of investors and strengthening its market position.
