Ethereum recovered strongly in the third quarter and returned above the main moving average.
Ethereum's third-quarter recovery has reached 55%. ETH has regained its position on the main moving average and is firmly supported above the breakthrough area (around US$2,400). The rise in the short-term moving average provides support for ETH around $2,350, while long-term indicators create another buyer's defense zone between $2,180 and $2,250. The resistance range of $2,550 to $2,650 remains critical; if support fails, weakening momentum may put Ethereum under deeper correction pressure.
Ethereum has rebounded significantly in the third quarter since its June low (approximately US$1,600) and has now regained its main moving average. ETH was trading at around $2,492, reflecting its chart form that has emerged from its weakness earlier this year. Buying pushed the cryptocurrency past the $2,000 mark in August, ending weeks of consolidation between $1,850 and $1,950. Trading volume expanded as ETH entered the $2,400 to $2,500 range, further consolidating the rally. Ethereum then maintained its gains and consolidated in the $2,400 to $2,550 range.
This stability suggests that despite the weakening momentum, sellers have failed to erase the gains of August. Prices remain well above previous breakthrough areas, maintaining a bullish quarterly structure.
Ethereum builds support above main moving averages
The short-term moving average is currently below ETH, providing immediate dynamic support in the US$2,350 to US$2,400 range. At the same time, most long-term moving averages are clustered between $2,180 and $2,250, forming another important support area. For most of 2026, Ethereum will operate below its main long-term moving average, limiting attempts to build a lasting recovery. Recovering this indicator improves the technical outlook, but buyers still need to defend support during periods of increased selling pressure.
However, momentum has eased somewhat since a strong breakout in August pushed the Relative Strength Index (RSI) into overbought territory. The RSI has fallen back to a median level of more than 50 points, eliminating excessive pressure from an early rebound.
Resistance range determines the next trend of Ethereum
Ethereum currently faces significant resistance of US$2,550 to US$2,650, and this area has repeatedly restricted prices above US$2,500. If a breakthrough of US$2,650 is confirmed, it may open a path to US$2,700 and may even hit US$3,000. Conversely, if it is rejected again, ETH may fall back to the upward support band of US$2,350 to US$2,400. Losing this range would expose clusters of long-term moving averages around $2,180 to $2,250 and weaken the quarterly structure.
Ethereum's third-quarter rebound remains technically intact as long as prices remain above the immediate support zone. Still, recovering the $2,650 will be critical to continuing the recovery and confirming stronger demand in the market. The current balance has traders watching closely whether new volume can support another decisive breakthrough.
