On December 11, 2025, Ethereum was affected by the Federal Reserve's hawkish rate cut, surging before significantly retreating. Current situation:
Today, Ethereum's trend synchronized with Bitcoin, initially rising to around $3450 following the Federal Reserve's rate cut news, then quickly falling back, stabilizing around $3280 for the day. At one point, it struggled around the $3260 line, and the five-day bullish trend was halted. The capital situation is relatively favorable, with its spot ETF receiving funding favor. For example, the BlackRock's staked Ethereum ETF attracted $620 million in funds within the first ten days of its listing. However, the market is highly volatile, with over $300 million in liquidations across contracts in the past 24 hours, affecting more than 110,000 people, and Ethereum is also caught in a long and short squeeze.
Different levels of chart signals show discrepancies; the daily chart previously indicated a bullish trend with a moving average lineup, but the price encountered resistance at the daily MA60 moving average and there was a formation of a evening star pattern indicating potential pullback risks; the 2-hour chart is in a fluctuating upward trend, although MACD momentum is weakening. The current price has not broken through the key resistance of $3397, nor has it fallen below the key support of $3250, showing significant range-bound characteristics with a rising short-term adjustment demand.
The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points this time but released hawkish signals. The dot plot indicates plans to only cut rates by 25 basis points in 2026, weakening expectations for a rate cut in January next year, which is the core factor leading to Ethereum's surge and retreat. Currently, it is mainly a rebound short strategy, and make sure to set a stop-loss at #美联储降息 #ETH走势分析 $ETH
