The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a notable retracement today after a strong bullish run that recently pushed Bitcoin (BTC) to a new all-time high of $126,000, before sliding to around $121,000. Ethereum (ETH), meanwhile, has dropped over 5%, falling from its 24-hour high of $4,755 to around $4,445.

However, despite the pullback, ETH’s price action remains technically significant — as it is currently testing a key support level that could decide whether the next move is a rebound or a deeper correction.

Power of 3 Pattern in Play

On the daily chart, Ethereum’s price structure is following the three-phase Power of 3 (PO3) pattern — a common setup seen before major breakouts.

Accumulation Phase

Throughout August, ETH traded sideways between $4,750 resistance and $4,215 support, signaling accumulation by institutional players as the market consolidated.

Manipulation Phase

On September 22, ETH dipped below the $4,215 range, sliding to $3,832 before rebounding sharply. This move marked the manipulation phase, where a false breakdown typically shakes out weak hands and traps shorts before the next leg higher.

Expansion Phase

Following the rebound, ETH reclaimed its previous range near $4,215, entering the expansion phase. The token then rallied toward the $4,752 resistance — the upper boundary of its accumulation zone — before facing rejection. This pullback has now brought ETH back to test its 50-day moving average (MA) near $4,406, a level that could act as a crucial pivot point for the next move.

What’s Next for ETH?

If buyers manage to defend this 50-day MA support, a bounce from the current zone could set the stage for a break above $4,750, confirming a PO3 breakout. In such a scenario, ETH could rally toward its next technical target around $5,818, reigniting bullish momentum across the broader altcoin market.

However, failure to hold this level could push ETH back toward $4,215, delaying the breakout structure.

For now, traders and analysts are watching closely to see if Ethereum can maintain strength above the $4,400 region — a successful defense here could very well mark the start of the next leg higher.

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.
