Can Ethereum Price Make It Back to $3,000 This Month?

Ethereum’s price has fluctuated under $2,800 for the past few weeks, and it is stuck in a consolidation phase. Despite several attempts, ETH has been unable to break through key resistance levels, leaving investors uncertain.
Mixed signals from various technical indicators are adding to the ambiguity, making it difficult to predict whether Ethereum can climb back to $3,000 soon.
Ethereum Is Losing Money
Ethereum’s Network Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) currently sits in the optimism zone, signaling improving market sentiment. This indicator tracks all holders’ total profit or loss relative to when they acquired their assets. The current levels reflect growing confidence among investors.
This optimistic sentiment is keeping investors engaged, with many holding their assets rather than selling them. As long as the NUPL remains in this favorable range, the chances of a dramatic sell-off are slim, which could support Ethereum’s price in the near term.

On the macro side, Ethereum’s momentum appears mixed, as shown by the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator. The CMF, which tracks the flow of capital into and out of an asset, briefly rose last week but has since dipped again.
This decline is a bearish signal, as it suggests that more capital is flowing out of Ethereum than coming in. It is an indication that the selling pressure is potentially increasing.
The outflow of capital is a critical factor to watch, as sustained declines in the CMF often precede price drops. Ethereum could face additional challenges in breaking through its current resistance levels despite the otherwise positive market sentiment if this trend continues.

ETH Price Prediction: Staying in Lane
Ethereum is currently trading at $2,610, struggling to overcome resistance at $2,700. Since early August, ETH has been repeatedly blocked by this level, with brief breaches above it failing to hold. As long as Ethereum remains under this resistance, significant upward momentum may be difficult to achieve.
Mixed signals from key indicators suggest that the ongoing consolidation between $2,700 and $2,344 will continue. The market may remain in this tight range until there is a decisive shift in sentiment or capital inflows.

For Ethereum to reach $3,000, it must first flip the $2,700 resistance into support. Once this level is breached, the next key barrier will be $2,930. If Ethereum can rise above this, it will hit a two-and-a-half-month high, potentially invalidating the current bearish outlook.

Is CZ’s April Fool’s Joke a Crypto Reality or Just Fun?

On April 1, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) shared an amusing hypothetical on social media platform X (Twitter).
He posed the hypothetical scenario of a user generating a cryptocurrency wallet address commonly used for token burns, which permanently remove tokens from circulation.
Binance’s CZ Shares Cryptic Hypothetical on April Fools Day
Changpeng Zhao’s April Fools’ joke about generating a token burn address sparked discussions. However, the chances of it happening are astronomically low. CZ shared the post during the early hours of the Asian session, kickstarting an interesting discourse.
“Imagine downloading Trust Wallet and finding your newly generated address is: 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead. Theoretically speaking, it has the same chance as any other address. Alright, enough imagining. Not gonna happen. Get back to building. Happy Apr 1!” Changpeng Zhao wrote.
It comes in time for April Fools’ Day, celebrated annually on April 1, dedicated to practical jokes, hoaxes, and playful deception. Trust Wallet, integrated as Binance’s non-custodial wallet provider, played along with the joke.
“Happy April Fool’s Day,” wrote Trust Wallet.
While the idea seems far-fetched, CZ was not technically wrong. Theoretically, there is an infinitesimally small probability that someone could randomly generate a wallet address matching “0x000…dead” using software like Trust Wallet.
However, the chances are comparable to winning the lottery multiple times. To put things into perspective, one can generate blockchain addresses using cryptographic hashing functions that produce 160-bit outputs.
This means there are 2¹⁶⁰ possible Ethereum addresses—a number so vast that generating any specific address, such as “0x000…dead,” is practically impossible.
“Haha, imagine the odds! That is a 1 in 2^160 type of vibe. Good one, CZ—back to work now, no distractions from the code,” Synergy Media wrote, putting the rarity into context.
While CZ’s April Fool’s joke entertained the crypto community, the reality remains unchanged. The likelihood of generating a wallet address identical to “0x000…dead” is close to zero. This means the post was a fun thought experiment but nothing more.
“Imagine that you can randomly generate a Bitcoin private key every second, and suddenly one day the private key you generated happens to correspond to Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet or Binance’s wallet. That’s terrifying,” another user quipped.
However, the joke does highlight the fascinating cryptographic underpinnings of blockchain technology. While every address is technically possible, some are rare and might as well be myths. Crypto users will have to keep burning their tokens the old-fashioned way.

XRP Bulls Fight Back—Is a Major Move Coming?

XRP price started a fresh decline below the $2.080 zone. The price is now recovering some losses and might face hurdles near the $2.150 level.
- XRP price started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $2.20 resistance zone.
- The price is now trading below $2.120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
- There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.10 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair might extend losses if it fails to clear the $2.150 resistance zone.
XRP Price Faces Resistance
XRP price failed to continue higher above the $2.20 resistance zone and reacted to the downside, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.150 and $2.10 levels.
The pair even declined below the $2.050 zone. A low was formed at $2.023 and the price is now attempting a recovery wave. There was a move above the $2.050 level. The price cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.215 swing high to the $2.023 low.
The price is now trading below $2.120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.10 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.10 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The trend line is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.215 swing high to the $2.023 low.
The first major resistance is near the $2.150 level. The next resistance is $2.1680. A clear move above the $2.1680 resistance might send the price toward the $2.20 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.220 resistance or even $2.250 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.2880.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.120 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.050 level. The next major support is near the $2.020 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.020 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.00 support. The next major support sits near the $1.880 zone.

CFTC’s Crypto Market Overhaul Under New Chair Brian Quintenz

Brian Quintenz, the incoming Chair of the US CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), has begun meeting with Capitol Hill lawmakers before his nomination hearing.
On Monday, Quintenz met with Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to discuss key regulatory issues, including the CFTC’s role in overseeing crypto spot markets.
CFTC Targets Crypto Spot Market After Derivatives
Brian Quintenz met with Republican Senator from Iowa Chuck Grassley to discuss another element in the CFTC’s crypto market structure regulation agenda. This time, the focus is on crypto spot markets.
“It was wonderful to meet with you Chuck Grassley and discuss your leadership on whistleblower issues as well as the future of the agency,” Quintenz stated.
Grassley also commented on their discussion. He highlighted the CFTC Whistleblower Protection Program for spot crypto markets as part of the agenda. Notably, Grassley is a member of the Senate AG Committee, the legislative body overseeing the CFTC.
Eleanor Terrett, host of the Crypto America podcast, indicated that the Senate AG Committee will have a significant role in part of the CFTC’s crypto regulation agenda. Specifically, it would have an outsized say in whether the CFTC could gain expanded jurisdiction over crypto spot markets.
The meeting comes as the CFTC moves closer to expanding its role in crypto regulation. US President Donald Trump tapped Quintenz, a former executive at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), to lead the agency.
His appointment is part of Trump’s broader plans to reshape crypto oversight. This could potentially give the CFTC greater authority over digital asset markets.
Meanwhile, regulatory developments surrounding crypto have accelerated in recent weeks. The CFTC eased regulatory hurdles for the crypto derivatives market only days ago. The move will enhance market efficiency and attract institutional investors.
Beyond derivatives and spot markets, the CFTC is also exploring other areas of crypto oversight. The agency recently announced plans to host a roundtable discussion on prediction market regulation. It aims to address the regulation of decentralized prediction platforms.
Stablecoins are also on the agency’s radar. The CFTC also revealed a forum to discuss stablecoin regulation and potential risks associated with their widespread adoption.
Additionally, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the CFTC revoked previous crypto-related guidelines, signaling a shift in regulatory strategy.
Crypto markets can also not rule out the possibility of further collaboration between key agencies in the broader industry. Reports indicate that the US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the CFTC have discussed reviving a joint advisory committee to coordinate on crypto regulation.
If revived, the committee could serve as a bridge between the agencies. This would address concerns over jurisdictional overlap and streamlining oversight efforts.
As Quintenz prepares for his nomination hearing, his meetings with lawmakers suggest that crypto regulation will be a top priority for the CFTC moving forward.
