Ether near $3,300 as leverage signals 10–25% rally after possible dip

Ether (ETH) is trading near $3,300 and one futures-market trend points to a potential 10%–25% upside, but the market may first see a liquidation-driven price dip before any sustained rally, according to the report. Crypto analyst Pelin Ay highlighted a recurring structure in Ether’s leverage dynamics on Binance: when the Leverage Ratio rises rapidly above price it has triggered short-lived downside wicks that flush overleveraged long positions, followed by strong upside reactions.

The Leverage Ratio currently sits near 0.60, a level that has historically preceded 10%–25% rallies after short pullbacks, and it has not declined despite recent price gains. Glassnode analyst Sean Rose noted that Ether’s spent-output profit ratio (SOPR) remains below 1, meaning realized losses still outweigh profits despite ETH outperforming Bitcoin from January lows.

The outlet said this suggests weaker conviction among ETH spot holders compared with BTC participants. Ether printed its highest daily close since Nov. 12, 2025, at $3,324; a 25% rally from here would place ETH above $4,100, though the probability of a minor dip remains elevated. On the daily chart an order block between $3,050 and $3,170 aligns with the point of control on the Visible Range Volume Profile since September 2025, and Hyblock data shows net long concentration above $500 million between $3,040 and $3,100—conditions that increase the likelihood of a short-term sweep into that range before any continuation.
