Ethereum is trading at key levels as price action consolidates above the $1,500 mark. After weeks of high volatility and macro-driven selling pressure, ETH is showing signs of stability — and analysts are watching closely. A breakout above nearby resistance could signal the start of a recovery rally, especially if momentum continues to build in the days ahead.

However, not all market watchers are convinced. Some analysts believe Ethereum may still face another leg down before a true reversal can begin. According to on-chain data from Glassnode, the MVRV Pricing Bands — which reflect market-wide cost basis and investor sentiment — highlight the next major support around $1,367. Historically, buying ETH below this lower MVRV band has offered strong long-term returns, but also coincided with peak market fear.
For now, Ethereum appears to be at a crossroads. A decisive move above short-term resistance could attract sidelined buyers and shift sentiment bullish. But failing to hold current levels could lead to a retest of lower support zones. The coming days may prove pivotal in defining Ethereum’s medium-term trend — and whether the bulls are truly ready to return.
Ethereum Tests Market Nerves As MVRV Signals Opportunity
This is a critical week for Ethereum, as price action will determine whether the recent consolidation above $1,500 can hold — or if further declines are on the horizon. Global tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty continue to pressure markets, with the ongoing U.S.-China trade war and instability in equities shaking investor confidence. While traditional markets tremble, crypto assets are showing early signs of decoupling. Ethereum, in particular, appears to be stabilizing and finding demand in the face of broader risk-off sentiment.
Despite the volatility, some analysts believe the worst may be behind for Ethereum — or at least that current prices offer compelling risk-reward setups. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights on X, noting that historically, buying Ethereum below the lower MVRV Pricing Band has delivered strong returns. That key level, based on on-chain cost-basis data, now sits at $1,367.
The MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) Pricing Bands help identify overvalued and undervalued conditions by comparing ETH’s market price to its realized price — the average acquisition cost for all ETH on the network. When ETH trades below the lower band, it suggests the asset is undervalued and often precedes price rebounds.

If Ethereum holds current support and reclaims momentum above resistance zones, a recovery rally may follow. But if bearish sentiment regains control, a retest of the $1,367 MVRV support level could come fast. Either way, Ethereum’s price action this week will be key to understanding whether the market is shifting toward strength — or preparing for another leg down.
ETH Price Holds Key Support, Market Awaits Breakout
Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $1,620 after several days of sideways action, struggling to push above the $1,700 resistance level. Despite the lack of a breakout, ETH has shown resilience by holding firmly above the $1,550 support zone, a level that has acted as a floor during recent volatility.
A decisive move is likely approaching. If bulls manage to reclaim the $1,800 level — where the 4-hour 200 MA and EMA converge — momentum could accelerate, setting the stage for a push toward the critical $2,000 psychological and technical resistance. Reclaiming that level would confirm a bullish trend reversal and likely spark renewed confidence across the altcoin market.
On the other hand, if Ethereum fails to maintain its footing above $1,550 and selling pressure increases, a break below $1,400 would confirm a continuation of the broader downtrend. Such a move would test lower demand zones, with $1,367 — the lower MVRV Pricing Band — seen by some analysts as the next key support.
