Ethereum remains in a corrective phase after rejection from the mid-$3,000 region, with the price rolling over on both the daily and 4-hour timeframes while on-chain data continues to show structural supply leaving exchanges.

The combination of short-term technical weakness and longer-term constructive on-chain positioning creates a context where further downside or sideways action in the near term can coexist with a still‐intact cyclical bull backdrop.

Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart

On the daily chart, ETH has turned lower after failing to sustain inside the $3,300–$3,400 resistance block, which aligns closely with the downward-sloping 100-day moving average and remains below the slightly higher 200-day moving average.

This rejection keeps the market capped within a broad range, with $2,500–$2,600 as the nearest significant demand area and the $3,300–$3,400 band as the primary supply zone whose reclamation would be required to re-establish a strong bullish trend. Daily RSI has also rolled over from near overbought territory and is now below 50, confirming a momentum slowdown consistent with a corrective leg toward the aforementioned support cluster.

ETH/USDT 4-Hour Chart

The 4-hour structure shows a clear breakdown from the ascending channel that had carried the price from the late-December lows toward the $3,400 area. After losing both the channel support and the intraday demand band around $3,000, ETH has accelerated lower toward $2,900, with the 4-hour RSI entering oversold territory, indicating stretched intraday conditions but not yet a confirmed reversal.

As long as the asset trades below the former channel base and beneath the $3,000 region, the intraday bias remains corrective, with risk of extension toward the higher-timeframe demand around $2,500–$2,600 unless a swift recovery above $3,100 invalidates the breakdown.

Onchain Analysis

The exchange supply ratio for Ethereum has been trending steadily lower and now sits at the lowest levels of the past few years, indicating that a diminishing share of the circulating supply is held on centralized trading venues.

This pattern typically reflects a gradual preference for long-term storage or staking over immediate liquidity, thereby reducing structural sell-side inventory even as prices undergo short-term corrections.

Although lower exchange balances do not preclude further downside in the near term, such persistent outflows historically align with late-stage corrective phases within larger uptrends, where renewed demand can more easily translate into impulsive advances once macro conditions and technicals turn supportive again.

Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation?

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…
