Strong Resistance Near $4,800
Ethereum has faced a major hurdle at the $4,800 level — a historically significant resistance zone on the higher time frame (HTF) chart. After testing this zone recently, the market saw a sharp rejection, leading to a cascade of liquidated long positions. This was expected by many technical analysts, as strong resistance often triggers a pullback on the first attempt.
Despite the setback, this is a natural part of the cycle. Crypto markets tend to react sharply to HTF resistance zones, and a single failed breakout doesn’t mean the rally is over.
Short Liquidity Is Building
With Ethereum’s price consolidating below this critical resistance, short positions have started to pile up. These shorts create liquidity above current price levels — liquidity that the market tends to hunt. As this short liquidity grows, the setup for a bullish reversal strengthens.
This kind of consolidation beneath resistance, especially ahead of a historically bullish quarter, signals that Ethereum may be preparing for a second breakout attempt. And this time, it could succeed.
Institutional Confidence Remains Strong
According to recent data, BlackRock’s institutional clients are still holding a massive $16 billion in Ethereum. This level of institutional exposure is not to be taken lightly. It reflects continued confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential, even as short-term volatility shakes out leveraged traders.
Looking ahead to “Uptober” — a month known for bullish crypto trends — many analysts expect Ethereum to retest and potentially break past the $4,800 resistance. If it does, Ethereum could be on track to set a new all-time high in Q4 2025.
So while it’s wise to ignore short-term hype and “larpers” (those pretending to have insider knowledge), the data suggests a bullish outlook for ETH remains intact.
