Ethereum (ETH) has struggled through the first quarter of the year and the opening stretch of the second, but it has managed to hold a crucial line near the $2,000 mark.  A new report from market expert Sam Daodu breaks down three potential paths for ETH for the remainder of 2026, with each scenario tied to catalysts that could push the network’s leading altcoin back above $4,000. Bullish Pathway For Ethereum Daodu’s analysis starts with the price action. Ethereum, he notes, has been trending downward since the start of the year, with only a short-lived recovery. ETH began 2026 around $3,100, later sank to a low of $1,743 in February—its weakest point since early 2023.  Related Reading: Solana Vs Ethereum: What’s Holding Growth Back? 3 Reasons SOL Is Still Lagging After that, the token has spent much of the year moving sideways between roughly $2,000 and $2,400, suggesting consolidation rather than a clear rebound. A key driver in the report is the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, which D

Ethereum price started a downside correction from $2,120. ETH must clear the $2,110 and $2,120 resistance levels to continue higher. Ethereum started a downside correction below the $2,110 zone. The price is trading below $2,095 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2,105 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it stays below the $2,120 zone. Ethereum Price Dips Below Support Ethereum price failed to stay above the $2,120 zone and extended its decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price gained pace for a move below the $2,110 and $2,100 levels. The bears pushed the price below the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,000 swing low to the $2,148 high. Besides, there was a break below a bullish trend line with support at $2,105 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. However, the bulls were active near the $2,080 level. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,100 and

Kelp DAO says that sETH mints, redemptions and rewards operations have been running smoothly since it opened withdrawals for the token earlier this month.

A new report from market expert Sam Daodu argues that several large-cap cryptocurrencies, including XRP, are still “undervalued” relative to the activity and infrastructure building underneath them.  In Daodu’s view, the altcoin market hasn’t fully recovered from the drawdown that pushed crypto into bear territory—an environment where most major tokens have fallen much harder than Bitcoin (BTC) and have struggled to regain momentum. The Ethereum Puzzle The expert starts with Ethereum (ETH), pointing out an interesting disconnect; the price is down, yet the network’s usage remains strong. Ethereum is trading about 57% below its August 2025 all-time high of $4,946. But he stresses that on-chain fundamentals don’t line up with that level of weakness.  Related Reading: XRP Channel Pattern Points To $5, Says Korean Analyst Ethereum, he says, holds roughly $43 billion in total value locked (TVL) across its decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols—more than any other blockchain—while also maint
