#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Ethereum (ETH) Future Two-Day Price Trend Analysis
Today, ETH rebounded strongly from a low of 2,022 to 2,155, a 24-hour increase of 5.44%. However, this rebound hides a concerning contradiction: both bulls and bears are heavily betting, while the market fear index remains at a historically low level (13/100, extreme fear).
The rebound is real, but the pressure is also real.
From the 4-hour K-line chart, ETH found support in the 2,022-2,035 range, then surged with increased volume—two large bullish candles covered the decline of the previous three days. The current price has returned to around 2,155, with short-term resistance at 2,174 (today’s high), and a more critical resistance at 2,198. If ETH cannot effectively hold above 2,150 in the next two days, this rebound still faces the risk of a pullback. On the support side, the 2,040-2,060 zone has been a recent bounce point, and below the 2,000 level, there is a strong passive defense: the liquidation price of 8,100 ETH long positions held by "Maji" Huang Licheng (at 2,000.46) with 25x leverage. On-chain bulls and bears are battling, and today’s on-chain activity is quite dramatic:
- Bullish signals: Well-known trader "Maji" continues to add to his long positions up to 8,100 ETH (about $17.24 million at an average price of 2,081), showing strong bottom confidence. The Ethereum Foundation is close to reaching its 70k ETH staking target, signaling long-term holding intentions at the official level.
- Bearish signals: On the same day, two new wallets opened short positions with approximately $20.5 million and $7 million worth of ETH at 20x leverage, with opposite directions.
Famous trader thomasg.eth fully closed positions worth about $26.49 million today (including 4,700 ETH sold to exchanges), clearly reducing his holdings actively.
• ETF Funds: Last week, ETH spot ETF saw a net outflow of $41.14 million, contrasting sharply with Bitcoin’s net inflow—indicating that institutional sentiment toward ETH remains cautious in the short term.
The next 48 hours will be influenced by several key factors:
Bullish factors: Charles Schwab will launch spot ETH trading in the first half of the year, with institutional participation narratives heating up; ETH’s USDT issuance has surpassed Tron, re-emphasizing its on-chain stablecoin backbone; technically, ETH recently experienced a significant short squeeze (over $48 million in short positions liquidated in the past 4 hours).
Bearish factors: The fear and greed index is at 13, indicating overall market sentiment remains extremely pessimistic, with potential for further decline due to macro news (tariffs, geopolitical issues); signals of large holders actively reducing their positions cannot be ignored; there is no clear support above 2,174, and once the upward momentum diminishes, a retest of the 2,040-2,060 range is likely. Additionally, Ethereum network wallet maintenance scheduled for April 7 may temporarily affect deposits and withdrawals, but trading itself will not be impacted.
Overall, ETH is likely to oscillate within the 2,040-2,175 range over the next two days. A breakout above 2,200 would require a significant macro sentiment shift or increased capital inflow; technical recovery alone is currently insufficient. Traders should control their positions and prepare stop-loss plans around the 2,000 level.
