Ethereum Price Explodes Back Above $3,200: Bigger Moves Coming?

Macro Context: Liquidity Wave Hits the Market

🇺🇸 The U.S. Treasury just bought back $12.5 BILLION of its own debt — the largest buyback ever recorded.

Why this matters:

Debt buybacks = liquidity supportLiquidity support = risk assets pumpRisk assets pump = crypto rallies

This fresh injection of liquidity follows:

Expectations of QE returningMarket pricing in rate cutsA flood of money supporting the bond marketGlobal central banks, including Japan, introducing competing stimulus plans

Even the only risk factor — a potential Bank of Japan rate hike — is softened by Japan’s $185B stimulus package announced simultaneously.

All of this sets a bullish tone for Q1–Q2 2026, and crypto is already reacting.

Key Observations From the Chart:

1. ETH broke back above the $3,200 resistance

$ETH is now consolidating right on this level — a strong sign that buyers are defending the breakout rather than taking profits.

2. Momentum is cooling, but still bullish

The Stoch RSI shows a pullback from overbought conditions, which usually happens after a powerful leg up. This isn’t bearish — it often precedes the next wave.

3. Structure remains strongly bullish

The $3,200 level is now the line to watch.

ETH Price Prediction: What Comes Next?

Upside Targets (Bullish Scenario)

With liquidity expanding and BTC holding above $90K:

1. $3,350 – Minor resistance: A retest of this zone is likely if BTC stays stable.

2. $3,500 – Major target: This is the next significant resistance level on the chart — marked previously as a local top. A break above $3,500 opens the door to:

3. $3,800 – Extension target: This would require strong BTC momentum and sustained liquidity inflows.

Downside Targets (If Market Pulls Back)

Should ETH lose the $3,200 area:

1. $3,050 – Local support: Likely to be tested if momentum cools.

2. $2,900 – Strong support: The level where buyers previously stepped in aggressively.

3. $2,730 – Major support zone: This is ETH’s resilience line — losing it would weaken the trend.

At the moment, none of these downside levels are being threatened.

How Bitcoin’s Return Above $90,000 Boosted ETH

Ethereum tends to perform strongly after Bitcoin stabilizes from a correction. Over the past 48 hours:

Bitcoin reclaimed $90,000Market fear disappearedLiquidity injections from the U.S. Treasury boosted confidenceRisk assets across equities and crypto rebounded

With BTC regaining dominance and momentum, ETH traders rotated back into the market.

Historically:

BTC stability + macro liquidity = ETH acceleration

This is exactly what we’re seeing now.
