January 22 News, Ethereum’s price is entering a highly critical technical zone. Multiple chart structures and institutional fund movements simultaneously point to a potential inflection point, and the market is beginning to reassess whether ETH has the key conditions to break through $4,000. As the long-term compression pattern continues, short-term support is gradually confirmed, and changes in capital flow are observed, Ethereum’s price trend is entering a “critical moment.”
Analyst Don’s long-term chart shows that Ethereum is in a multi-year contracting wedge, with the price compressed between descending resistance and ascending support. Such structures often herald a major move at the end. Currently, the ascending support line has successfully held multiple pullbacks, forming higher lows, indicating that long-term buying interest remains steadily accumulating. If this structure remains intact, the technical outlook suggests room for Ethereum’s price to move upward.
On a shorter cycle, More Crypto Online notes that the daily trendline has repeatedly provided support. After recent pullbacks, ETH found support in this area and experienced a mild rebound, indicating that there has been no clear distribution phase. Buyers are more inclined to accumulate during dips, keeping the price within a consolidation range, which lays the foundation for a subsequent breakout.
However, fundamental signals still face pressure. Ted Pillows pointed out that Ethereum ETFs recently recorded approximately $230 million in net outflows in a single day, with BlackRock contributing over $90 million. Such institutional-level adjustments often constrain short-term price movements, especially when the price approaches key resistance levels.
The current key variable is the tug-of-war between support levels and capital flow. If technical support continues to hold, selling pressure will be gradually absorbed, and Ethereum’s price may attempt to break through $4,000 at the end of the compression pattern. Conversely, if the critical trendline is broken, the pullback space could reopen, and the market will enter a new testing phase.

ETH 15-minute drop of 0.69%: Short-term sell pressure clustered on exchanges triggers a localized pullback
2026-03-30 14:15 to 14:30 (UTC), over 15 minutes ETH’s return rate is -0.69%, with a price range of 2051.33 to 2068.9 USDT and a range of 0.85%. During this period, overall market volatility generally increased, trading activity picked up, short-term capital’s tug-of-war sentiment heated up, and it drew widespread attention.
The main drivers behind this abnormal move are that major exchanges accumulated multiple medium-sized sell orders in a short time; the cumulative selling pressure accounts for 14% of total trading volume, higher than the daily average. The capital flow direction saw a roughly 2.1% increase in net inflow quarter-over-quarter, and some positions were partially held or adjusted.
