 Ethereum MACD Bearish Cross: Is a 58% Crash Coming?
 </figcaption>
</figure>
Ethereum’s monthly chart is showing signs of a possible bearish MACD crossover. The MACD line is on the verge of crossing below the signal line, which often points to a shift in momentum.
Previously, this pattern appeared in early 2025. Following that signal, ETH lost over 58% of its value in just three months, falling from more than $3,300 to nearly $1,350. However, in Q3 2024, a similar signal did not lead to further losses. Instead, the price quickly recovered.&nbsp;

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
 &nbsp;“It looked bearish, but the move didn’t follow through.”&nbsp;
</blockquote>
This history has led traders to approach the current setup with caution.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-price-holds-between-resistance-and-support-strong">Price Holds Between Resistance and Support</h2>
At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $2,924. So far, it has been unable to move decisively in either direction. The $3,000 level continues to act as resistance, while support lies between $2,700 and $2,800.
<a href="https://x.com/TedPillows/status/2004124206242611549?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">According </a>to Ted , ETH remains in what he calls a “no trading zone.” He stated that for stronger price action to return, ETH needs to either reclaim $3,000 or test the lower support band. If the price breaks above $3,000, it could lead to a move toward $3,130 and possibly $3,400. On the other hand, a break below $2,700 may open the way to $2,510.

For now, price action remains limited, and market participants are waiting for a breakout or breakdown to set the next direction.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-whale-accumulation-continues-strong">Whale Accumulation Continues</h2>
Despite weak technical momentum, large Ethereum holders have continued to accumulate. Over the past week, wallets classified as “whales” added 220,000 ETH, which is valued at around $660 million.
As a result, total whale holdings have increased to 14.10 million ETH. This ongoing accumulation trend suggests that some large holders may be preparing for a future move, regardless of current chart signals.&nbsp;

Their buying activity stands out given the current uncertainty.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-market-awaits-confirmation-strong">Market Awaits Confirmation</h2>
Over the last 24 hours, Ethereum has fallen by 0.2%. Over the past 7 days, it is up by 2.3%. The 24-hour trading volume is approximately $12.76 billion.
Until ETH moves above<a href="https://coincu.com/analysis/ethereum-tests-2880-resistance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> resistance or breaks below</a> key support, price is expected to remain range-bound. While the MACD bearish cross may be close, recent history shows that such signals can be unreliable without price confirmation.
