Ethereum price rebounds to $4,604; traders eye breakout above $4,650. Read concise analysis of resistance, liquidity data, staking trends, and likely targets.

What is driving Ethereum’s rebound to $4,600?

Ethereum price climbed back to $4,604 after a 2.3% 24-hour gain, supported by rising on-chain staking and falling bearish leverage. Liquidity data showing $53 million in recent liquidations and higher lows since mid-September indicate strengthening buyer conviction.

How likely is a breakout above $4,650?

ETH has tested the same descending trendline four times without a clean close above it, creating a critical resistance at $4,650–$4,700. If ETH closes decisively above this zone with elevated volume, momentum typically accelerates toward the $4,900–$5,000 range.

Conversely, failure to hold above the channel could prompt a pullback to support near $4,200. Current RSI near 60 suggests healthy momentum without overextension, so watch volume and trendline confirmations closely.

When did the recent price move and liquidations occur?

Over the past 24 hours ETH rose 2.3% to $4,604 and saw about $53 million in leveraged liquidations. Short positions accounted for approximately $37 million of that total, indicating short-squeeze dynamics helped the rebound.

What on-chain and technical signals matter now?

Key on-chain signals: rising staking participation and reduced short liquidity. Technicals: higher lows since mid-September and RSI near 60. Together, these suggest buyer accumulation with manageable momentum.

Market cap	≈ $556 billion

Frequently Asked Questions

How did liquidations affect the recent price move?

Large liquidations—about $53M in 24 hours—likely accelerated the short-term rally. Short liquidation of roughly $37M suggests short-covering boosted upward pressure, reducing bearish liquidity.

Will the Fusaka upgrade influence price action?

The Fusaka upgrade scheduled for December and rising staking participation are supportive long-term catalysts. These fundamentals can underpin bullish sentiment but do not guarantee short-term breakout success.

What should traders watch next?

Traders should watch for a daily close above $4,650 with volume confirmation, RSI trajectory, and on-chain staking trends to validate a sustained breakout versus a false rejection.

Key Takeaways

Resistance tested: ETH has attempted the descending trendline four times; $4,650–$4,700 is critical.
Liquidity shift: $53M liquidated in 24h, shorts accounting for $37M, easing bearish pressure.
Actionable step: Seek a daily close above resistance with rising volume before assuming breakout continuation.

Conclusion

Ethereum’s reclaim of $4,600 reflects rising buying interest and reduced short liquidity, but the $4,650–$4,700 zone remains decisive. Monitor daily closes, volume, and on-chain staking metrics for confirmation. Published by COINOTAG on 2025-10-05; follow COINOTAG for timely market updates.

After the US October CPI exceeded expectations, Goldman Sachs and Nomura added a forecast for an interest rate hike in March next year, while Deutsche Bank included a forecast for a rate hike in January next year. Currently, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike in December, with a 13% probability for a 50 basis point hike. On Wednesday, the US Treasury spot market was closed, but Treasury futures continued to fall, with corresponding yields rising by about 2 to 4 basis points, and spot gold came under pressure, dropping by 1.1%.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
