$ETHFI (ether.fi) has entered a critical consolidation-to-breakdown phase as of December 26, 2025, currently trading between $0.69 and $0.72. The asset has struggled with a persistent downtrend, losing roughly 12.8% of its value in the last week and over 67% compared to last year. Despite a $50M buyback program approved in late 2025 to repurchase tokens below $3, the price continues to face selling pressure as market sentiment remains in "Extreme Fear" (Index: 21).
Technically,
$ETHFI is pinned below its 50-day SMA, which currently acts as a formidable overhead resistance. On-chain activity has significantly cooled, with daily active addresses dropping to their lowest levels since July 2025 and protocol fees plummeting by nearly $98,000, reducing the yield attractiveness for stakers. While the upcoming "Permissionless Node Staking" roadmap for Q1 2026 offers long-term hope, the current market structure remains dominated by bears as thin order book liquidity—roughly $500K on either side—amplifies volatility risks.
Support and Resistance Levels
Immediate Resistance: A strong supply wall is established between $0.76 and $0.78, which aligns with recent local highs and key Fibonacci levels.
Secondary Resistance: Structural resistance sits at $1.03, a level that must be reclaimed to shift the macro bearish bias.
Immediate Support: The current tactical floor is being tested at $0.67 – $0.70, which has historically been a zone for buyer accumulation.
Critical Support: A failure to hold the $0.61 level could trigger a rapid capitulation toward the all-time low of $0.404 reached earlier this year.
The overall trend remains "sell the rip" until $E
$ETHFI n close decisively above the $0.76 resistance on the daily timeframe.
