Ethereum drops another 3% below $3,500 – Time for panic or opportunity?

Ben Graham · Novembro 13

Risk assets have been yo-yoing since mid-October, with fundamentals turning increasingly obscure amid the absence of US data, leaving investors hesitant to take on new risk.

Cryptocurrencies have also been flashing mixed signals following the early-October rallies in Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum.

Despite ongoing market cap outflows, the crypto space has made solid progress this year.

Still, with prices now down roughly 32% from the $4,950 August peak, the hype in ETH has cooled substantially.

Yet, it’s often when fewer people are watching that true opportunities emerge—though the question remains: is this a dip to buy or a reason to panic?

Overstretched tech valuations continue to weigh on markets, as reflected in today's weakness across stock indices, and crypto is facing similar pressure.

From an investment standpoint, the long term will reveal its truth—but for those without a crystal ball, a prudent approach is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), which involves gradually building positions over time.

For traders, the focus should stay on support and resistance levels—spotting trends between them and reacting when those levels break.

Let’s now look these levels through a multi-timeframe Ethereum analysis.

Having broken its April 2025 explosive upward channel, the picture for ETH is tilting more bearish, as strong flows have brought the second-Crypto below its $3,500 momentum pivot.

Multiple attempts to break resistances have been met with consequent selloffs, leading to the formation of lower-highs.

A balancing rebound last Tuesday (Nov 4) marked a temporary bottom at $3,053 – the rest will be to see if the bottom holds in an eventual double bottom or if its breaks, but for now these prices are still 8% from here (But never underestimate Crypto volatility!).

1H Chart

ETH is oscillating in a shorter timeframe descending channel which serves as immediate momentum indicator:

Breaking below its support line ($3,300 to $3,330) points at more aggressive selling
Bouncing at the lows of the channel points to a short-term revisit of the $3,500 Pivot Zone.
Further upwards, a break above $3,700 (with preferably a session/weekly close), points to a more stable rebound that may serve for future rallies.

Safe Trades!
