Ethereum Price Shows Strength Above $3,000

Following a drop to $3,050 earlier today, Ethereum price has shown strength amid strong buying interest. As ETH flirts with $3,150, the daily trading volumes have surged 125% to more than $20.5 billion.

Popular market analyst Ted Pillows noted that ETH is showing strength after holding above the key $3,000 support level. The largest altcoin has since staged a quick recovery.

Pillows noted that as long as the current support zone remains intact, ETH could rebound toward the $3,300-$3,400 range. However, the analyst warned that a breakdown below $3,000 could trigger a rapid decline toward levels below $2,800. So far, investors have been actively buying the Ethereum price dips.

$ETH is still holding above the $3,000 level.

It dropped below the $3,050 level but recovered quickly.

As long as the support zone holds, I think Ethereum could rally towards the $3,300-$3,400 level again.

If ETH loses the $3,000 level, expect a quick dump below the $2,800… pic.twitter.com/ALUMVoAYkz

According to Bitcoinsensus, the last time a similar setup occurred, it triggered a significant capital rotation into altcoins over the following year. This suggests a notable shift in market dynamics from BTC to ETH.
