Ethereum Price Prediction: Is $ETH Recovery Heading to $3000 in February?
On Wednesday, the second-largest cryptocurrency Ethereum is trading in red amidst a generally volatile and uncertain market sentiment ahead of the FOMC Meeting. With an intraday loss of 1.5% the ETH price plunged to $2300 trying to sustain above the 50-day EMA slope. Despite the uncertain technical outlook for recovery, Ethereum’s fundamental developments continue to progress, notably with its eagerly awaited 2024 hard fork, Dencun.
The latest milestone for Ethereum is the successful launch of the Dencun upgrade on the Sepolia test network, marking a significant step forward. This leaves only one more testnet deployment before the introduction of the “proto-danksharding” feature.

Ethereum Price Prediction| TradingView Chart
Amid the post-ETF correction in the crypto market, the Ethereum price dropped from $2714 to $2171, marking a 20% decrease. During this decline, the coin price broke through the support trendline of an expanding channel pattern, which had been supporting its recovery over the past three months.
Although this breakdown initially indicated a possible extended correction, the price found fresh buying interest around the $2200 level. This support led to a 6% increase in Ethereum’s price within a week, allowing it to reclaim the previously breached support level.
This failed breakdown could lead to an uptick in buying activity and foster a new recovery trend in the market.

Moreover, as per recent highlights from crypto analytics firm Santiment Ethereum’s network is displaying significant growth and vitality in recent times. With a remarkable 101,000 new Ethereum addresses being created each day and a substantial 484,000 unique addresses actively engaging with the network daily, the Ethereum ecosystem is expanding at an impressive pace.
What’s particularly noteworthy is the speed of this growth, as daily network expansion is now 28% quicker than it was just three months ago.
If the aforementioned channel pattern is intact, the ETH price should lead a rally to retest the overhead trendline at $3000. The rising price may witness in-between resistances at $2430 and $2700.
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The price trading above 100-and-200-day EMA Indicates the long-term remains bullish.
