Ethereum Stalls at $3,700 – Is the Bull Run Losing Steam?
Ethereum's rally hits a wall as prices struggle to break past $3,700. Traders are left wondering: is this the calm before another surge—or the start of a deeper correction?
Market watchers are split. Some see this as a healthy consolidation before ETH retests its all-time highs. Others point to overleveraged longs and whisper 'liquidation cascade.'
The smart money's watching two key levels: a hold above $3,500 could signal accumulation, while a drop below might trigger stop-loss panic. Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are (as always) predicting ETH's imminent irrelevance—between golf games at their Bahamas crypto conferences.
One thing's certain: in crypto, the only 'support' you can count on is the kind that disappears the moment you lean on it.
Ethereum Price Dips Below $3,600
Ethereum price started a fresh increase from the $3,365 support zone, beating Bitcoin. ETH price was able to recover above the $3,400 and $3,500 resistance levels.

More Losses In ETH?
