- Ethereum faces $4,000 resistance as analysts warn of pullback.
- Analysts target $2,900 zone for potential accumulation during dip.
- Market eyes short-term correction before Ethereum resumes upward momentum.
Ethereum is closing in on the $4,000 mark, a resistance level that has repeatedly held firm across multiple market cycles. Analysts are cautioning that this zone could trigger a short-term correction before any meaningful breakout takes place.
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has pointed out that Ethereum’s current rally may stall below this level. He outlined that the market must first experience a pullback to allow long positions that were overextended and bring liquidity to the market before a sustained move higher is possible.

Currently, Ethereum is trading at $3,822, with a daily increase of 2.5 per cent. The current weekly performance is 24.6 per cent. In contrast, monthly performance has increased dramatically by 56.7 per cent.
According to data on CoinMarketCap, the market capitalisation is estimated to be around $461 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume growing by 31.11 per cent to $44.6 billion.
Van de Poppe was not the only market analyst in agreement. Follis, another analyst, pointed to the price action of Ethereum earlier this year to support his vision of a correction. The cryptocurrency went up 2 percent in a fortnight and dropped down again by 26 percent during that time.

As Ethereum has already gained 80 per cent in the last month, Follis indicates that a 25 per cent correction, which could bring the crypto down to $2,900, is possible.

Van de Poppe believes this correction phase is essential for strengthening Ethereum’s long-term structure. He views any retracement as a strategic opportunity for accumulation rather than a sign of weakness.
Despite the pullback predictions, not all experts agree on the immediate downside. Analyst Ted anticipates Ethereum to continue trending at $4,000 in the days ahead. He attributed such momentum to the recent Bitcoin rally, which has traditionally resulted in a rotation of capital into altcoins such as Ethereum.

Regarding its quarterly performance, Ethereum remains strong against Bitcoin. In Q3 2025, Ethereum rose by 52.43 per cent, whereas Bitcoin rose by 10.98 per cent. Ted proposes that this current overperformance may cause a renewed focus on smaller-cap altcoins when Ethereum clears the higher price range.
Ethereum’s path toward $4,000 remains a critical focus for investors. While a short-term decline appears likely, analysts remain confident in Ethereum’s longer-term trajectory, especially if the predicted correction creates more substantial support for the next upward move.
