Ethereum traded near $3,001 on 27 November 2025, marking a modest rebound after a sharp multi-week drop that pushed the asset to a low of around $2,623 earlier in November. The 1D chart spanning 17 July to 27 November 2025 captures a full cycle of strength, exhaustion, sustained selling pressure and the first meaningful signs of stabilisation.
Strong August rally followed by a loss of momentum
ETH experienced a powerful upward stretch through August, with consistent green candles and rising volume pushing prices higher. The trend was supported by favourable short-term sentiment, and the asset maintained a position above key moving averages. By mid-September to early October, however, the bullish structure began to weaken as repeated upside attempts met increasing resistance. The changing slope of moving averages hinted at a transition toward fatigue.
Clear downtrend sets in as moving averages turn bearish
From mid-October onwards, Ethereum entered a well-defined downtrend characterised by:
-
Lower highs
-
Lower lows
-
Candles closing below both the 25-day and 99-day moving averages
The moving averages themselves rolled over into a downward trajectory, reinforcing the bearish structure. Selling volume picked up in early November, accelerating the decline and dragging ETH toward the $2,600–$2,700 zone — its weakest level in months.
Bounce from $2,623 marks first constructive recovery attempt
After weeks of sustained pressure, ETH printed its first significant rebound off the $2,623 low. The recent candles show higher lows forming, and a few green bars have appeared with moderately improved buying volume. While the rebound is not yet strong enough to challenge the dominant downtrend, it indicates that aggressive selling may have eased.
Major moving averages remain heavy overhead resistance
Despite the recent rise toward $3,000, Ethereum continues to trade under key resistance levels:
-
MA(7) near $2,897
-
MA(25) near $3,174
-
MA(99) around $3,983
These averages act as layered barriers that ETH would need to reclaim before any sustained structural improvement can form. Remaining below them keeps the larger trend in a cautionary zone.
Volume behaviour suggests early phase of stabilisation
Trading volume surged during the steep November decline, signalling capitulation-type selling. Since then, volumes have reduced and become more balanced between buyers and sellers. This moderation typically aligns with early consolidation phases, where market participants reassess after a sharp move.
Market structure shifting from aggressive decline to potential base-building
Based solely on visible chart behaviour:
-
The downtrend remains intact, but its intensity has weakened.
-
ETH’s rebound from $2,623 indicates the first signs of short-term stabilisation.
-
A preliminary base may be forming in the $2,600–$3,000 region, though confirmation is absent.
-
Moving averages still lean bearish and collectively cap the upside.
Ethereum now sits in a transitional zone — between the exhaustion of its downtrend and the early stages of a potential consolidation.
