Ethereum price action is currently at a critical juncture, with MVRV pricing bands signaling key support at $1,440 amid growing bearish pressure. Market indicators suggest weakening strength, while large whale transactions to exchanges raise concerns about increased selling pressure. Therefore, the coming days will be crucial in determining whether ETH can recover or extend its downtrend below $1500.
Ethereum Price Testing Key Levels
Notably, the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) pricing bands indicate Ethereum has reached essential price thresholds. Analyst Ali Martinez has determined the Realized Price to be $2,060 at present. The next significant support point for Ethereum price exists at $1,440 when its price fails to stay above the Realized Value threshold of $2,060.
According to MVRV pricing bands, Ethereum price shows reduced market strength while existing closer to its lower boundary deviation point. These bands indicate the price levels the top altcoin must surpass to trigger a market recovery or extend its downward trend.
More so, recent analysis suggests that the upcoming Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse could play a role in Ethereum’s price action, potentially triggering heightened volatility. While some analysts predict a bullish reversal due to historical lunar cycle trends, others warn of another wave of panic selling. With Ethereum already in oversold territory, the market’s reaction to this event could be a decisive moment
Amber Group’s ETH Transfers
Additionally, in recent hours, the crypto trading platform Amber Group moved a substantial amount of 20,000 ETH worth $37.34 million to Binance, OKX and Gate.io. Such large Ethereum moves have sparked doubts about the companies’ intentions for moving ETH to exchanges during market decline. Such whale transactions into top exchanges normally attract attention and could increase selling pressure.

Market activity shows strong signals from the large movement of ETH. The rising availability of ETH on exchanges during trading periods causes market prices to decrease.
Ethereum Price Action And Predictions
However, despite the bearish outlook, the top altcoin has formed a bullish diamond pattern that signals a potential breakout. This technical setup suggests that the asset is approaching a pivotal moment, where a surge could follow if resistance levels are breached. If buyers gain control, Ethereum may see accelerated upward momentum in the coming sessions.
Similarly, a recent ETH price prediction projected that the altcoin would fall further below $1,500, possibly reaching $1,250 if key support levels continue to break. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that Ethereum is slipping out of a parallel channel, a technical pattern often associated with bearish price action.
Despite the bearish sentiments, ETH price has shown resilience, rising from $1,814.5 to $1,915.13 in the last 24 hours. This 6% increase reflects renewed buying pressure, despite a significant drop in trading volume.

Amid growing uncertainty, a top analyst has named three scenarios that could cause Cardano (ADA) to outperform Solana (SOL). The projection from the analyst AM_Panic comes as the broader cryptocurrency sector witnesses a massive downturn spearheaded by Bitcoin (BTC).
3 Scenarios Favoring Cardano Over Solana
The analyst began by acknowledging Cardano’s accelerated growth, including plans to enhance its scalability. He noted on X that a potential ADA price surge largely depends on Cardano’s capacity to implement its scalability plans.
Should the network achieve this feat, it may attract more Decentralized Applications (dApps), which will benefit the blockchain and help it outrank Solana.
In the second scenario, the analyst expects that any setback or regulatory challenge to the Solana network will negatively impact its price. If it records a 20% price dip, this would affect its market cap, which is currently at $50.11 billion. A 20% fall can raise the market cap to $50.11 billion, making it easier for Cardano to meet continued growth.
The last scenario is tied to favorable market conditions. Once there are either bullish crypto trends or more regulatory clarity, especially with Donald Trump as President, Cardano may benefit more. The market analyst believes the Layer-1 blockchain is even better if positioned as a stable, research-driven alternative.
The Solana Memecoin Woes
In recent weeks, Solana has faced several woes, ranging from a slowdown in token growth within its network to its price drawdown.
Solana Powerhouse Pump.Fun, known as the source of the ecosystem boom over the past few months, has recorded a slowdown in adoption. From abuse by creators to a shift from risk-on assets amid the global stock market meltdown, Solana’s price has experienced more drawbacks.
Most critics also warn that Solana is sacrificing decentralization for speed, fueling boycott concerns in the long term.
Price Outlook for Cardano and Solana
The ADA price is $0.7302 after recording a 24-hour price gain of 6.52%. SOL trades at $127.62, corresponding to a 7.31% increase within the last 24 hours.
Notably, several analysts are optimistic that the coin will see better days. Market analyst Crypto Jobs, in SOL price analysis, shows how the coin fluctuated between $153 and $138, suggesting a season of indecision in the crypto market.
While analysts have predicted that the coin’s price may hit $200 soon and even reach higher levels, there are at least three reasons why it may not attain this level in March. Similarly, Cardano’s price faces selling pressure in a descending triangle and recently tested support at $0.76.

Financial commentator Patrick Bet-David says the XRP price can rise to $1,000 per token if manages to snag a portion of SWIFT’s transaction volume. Only 5% of SWIFT’s volume will see token prices soaring to $100 with Bet-David highlighting potential stumbling blocks.
XRP Price To Clinch $1,000 In The Near Future
According to Bet-David, XRP has a chance to reach the $1,000 mark after a lengthy period in the doldrums. To achieve the milestone, the financial commentator disclosed that XRP will have to match SWIFT’s transaction volume but even a slice will send prices rallying.
SWIFT, a global payments processing platform, processes $5 trillion daily or $1.24 quadrillion annually. Bet-David argues that the XRP price can reach $100 if the XRP Ledger can handle between 5%-10% of SWIFT’s daily volume. Per the analyst, the ledger will have to process $125 million annually to reach 10% of SWIFT’s transaction volume.
In order to reach $1,000 per token, the XRP Ledger has to fully match the entirety of SWIFT’s transaction volume. At the moment, the XRP Ledger only handles a fraction of the volume but rising institutional adoption sees it inch forward.
Stablecoins on the ledger like RLUSD are tipped to lead the charge to grab a portion of SWIFT’s daily transaction volumes. There is growing enthusiasm that XRP can be the cornerstone of US financial policy as it turns toward stablecoin adoption. For Bet-David, a jolt will come in the form of an SEC case dismissal, setting it up for borader institutional investment.
“Analysts estimate that a $10 trillion market cap could push XRP’s price to $100 per token, with full replacement potentially driving it to $1,000,” said Bet-David.
XRP Recovers After A Steep Price Crash
XRP price is trading at $2.20 climbing by an impressive 6% over a 24-hour period. The recovery follows a week marred by declining values and rising whale activity in the ecosystem.
Despiute the small rally over the day, XRP has lost over 10% in the last seven days, sparking fears that XRP has topped in this cycle. Despite the decline, the network has a streak of positives going on for it as a silver lining for investors.
XRP active addresses surged to 1.15 million in the middle of a steep market correction, signaling a market frenzy. In upbeat XRP news, Franklin Templeton has filed for an XRP ETF, accentuating a wave of positivity for the beleagured network.
In conservative fashion, market expert Dark Defender says XRP can hit $280 by 2027 if the 2017 bull run repeats itself.
