Can Ethereum (ETH) Keep the Green Line Alive? $4.3K Barrier Tests Bullish Momentum

TheNewsCryptoPublished on 2025-09-30Last updated on 2025-09-30

Abstract

ETH might face crucial resistance in the range of $4,210 to $4,300.

  • Ethereum is holding at $4.1K, with the daily trading volume increasing by over 44%.
  • ETH might face crucial resistance in the range of $4,210 to $4,300.

The global crypto market opened the new trading day with a modest recovery, with the overall neutral sentiment lingering in the market. Also, the digital assets are oscillating dramatically between green and red zones. As of today, it brought some green, with the market cap registering a brief 1.56% spike, reaching $3.92 trillion. 


Meanwhile, the assets, like Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL), are among the trending tokens, with moderate gains in value. Among the pack of altcoins, the largest one, Ethereum (ETH), posted a 1.72% uptick in the last 24 hours. This price action has triggered ETH to move from a low of $4,087 to a high of $4,238. 


The recovery attempt now sees Ethereum trading at around the $4,191 mark, with its market cap reaching $505.73 billion. Besides, the daily trading volume has surged by over 44.51%, settling at $38.58 billion. As reported by the Coinglass data, the market has experienced a liquidation of $72.03 million of ETH during this interval. 


Significantly, the whale 0x69e4 had a short position on Ethereum, betting the price would fall. As the market rebounded instead, the price moved against the direction, forcing the closure of the position. This resulted in a loss of over $1.58 million. 


Evaluating Technical Indicators for Short-Term Ethereum Price Action


On the recent 4-hour price chart, the ETH/USDT trading pair shows a bullish sign, a short-term reversal from the downtrend. After the formation of red candles, the green candlesticks have taken their place. Notably, the buyers defended the $4,137 support zone strongly, which led to today’s brief spike. Unless the asset breaks above $4,210 and then $4.3K, the fall could continue.

Additionally, both the MACD line and the signal line have crossed above the zero line. This crossover is considered positive. The momentum has shifted toward buyers, with the market gaining upward strength. Ethereum’s CMF indicator value of 0.17 implies moderately strong buying pressure. The money flow is positive in the market.

ETH’s RSI is positioned at 63.46, which suggests a moderately bullish zone. The market is gaining strength, but has not yet entered the overbought territory. There is more room to run upward. Moreover, the asset’s BBP reading staying at 128.42 indicates that bulls are currently dominating the market. It hints at an upward pressure and potential continuation of the uptrend. 


In conclusion, the Ethereum price has shown signs of a short-term bounce after the bearish domination. But it is not strong enough to shift the current uptrend to a rally. For a full forecast of Ethereum’s potential, read our comprehensive ETH Price Prediction, which covers 2025 through 2030.

Major Altcoin Market Players Did This During the Massive Rally!

As the cryptocurrency bull market intensifies, large-scale transactions by crypto 'whales' are drawing significant attention. Blockchain data reveals multi-million dollar positions opened and closed in Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and Hyperliquid ($HYPE). A major investor, likely tied to Matrixport, closed a 40,000 $ETH long position worth ~$100.5M for a $9.9M profit. The investor still holds 80,000 $ETH (~$201M) and 500 $BTC (~$39M), with an unrealized profit of ~$22.9M. This turned their previous $92.5M total loss into an approximate $32.8M overall profit. On Hyperliquid, a trader known as loracle.hl reportedly lost over $70M trading $HYPE in the past three months. The investor currently holds ~$54.88M in $HYPE short positions, at risk of liquidation if $HYPE's price reaches $101.15. Notorious trader Machi Big Brother, who reportedly survived 500 liquidations, capitalized on the recent rally. He grew his portfolio from $152K to $12.72M in just three days, yielding over $12.5M in profit. While $HYPE hits a new all-time high, Multicoin Capital has deposited 427,422 $HYPE (~$31.74M) to Coinbase Prime over three days, raising speculation about a potential sale or portfolio rebalance. In Bitcoin markets, an anonymous whale stands out, selling ~2,700 $BTC (~$211.8M) in a recent transaction. Over three days, this whale sold a total of 7,700 $BTC, valued at approximately $576.6M.

Goldman Sachs' Summary After Silicon Valley Investigation: Agents Enter the Execution Era, AI Competition Shifts to Workflows, World Models Rise

Based on a recent field research in Silicon Valley, Goldman Sachs highlights a key shift in the AI industry: moving from systems that "answer questions" to autonomous AI agents that "execute tasks." Commercial models are transitioning from per-seat subscriptions to usage- and outcome-based pricing. The competition is shifting from raw model capability to mastery over specific business workflows, with value accruing to proprietary data, domain context, and operational expertise. A major hurdle for enterprise Agent deployment is not technical ability but "controllability"—issues of accountability, auditability, and error correction, especially in regulated fields. Workflows with clear rules, verifiable outcomes, and reversible actions (e.g., invoice processing) are being automated first. The model landscape is evolving toward a division of labor. Frontier models (like GPT-4) are expected to handle high-value, high-reliability core tasks, while improving open-source models will likely capture the majority (~90%) of inference tokens for standardized, high-volume tasks due to cost advantages. Finally, attention is moving from Large Language Models (LLMs) to "World Models," which understand physical environments, causality, and dynamic interactions. This shift elevates the importance of proprietary, real-world data (from industrial, scientific, and robotic systems) and could drive a second wave of compute demand. Goldman Sachs projects compute needs could grow ~24x over five years, benefiting cloud and infrastructure providers.

Fidelity Warns: The Boom in AI Agents May Not Be a Feast for Public Blockchains

Fidelity Digital Assets cautions that the anticipated boom in AI agents does not automatically guarantee a corresponding surge in public blockchain adoption or token value. While AI agents that can autonomously perform tasks like payments and data calls could theoretically utilize blockchain for settlement, a significant gap exists between "can use" and "must use." The analysis highlights six key risks. First, many AI agents, especially in corporate settings, may prefer closed, permissioned systems over public blockchains due to needs for speed, cost, compliance, and control. Second, increased on-chain transactions from AI-driven micropayments may not benefit native tokens if fees remain low or if value is captured by stablecoins and payment service providers instead. Third, while AI lowers development costs and increases the number of projects, more code does not equal more economic value and can lead to market oversaturation. Fourth, AI commoditizes coding, making pure technological advantage less of a sustainable moat; competition may shift to brand, liquidity, and user networks. Fifth, AI can also lower the cost of attacks by making vulnerability discovery easier, potentially outpacing security auditing and increasing ecosystem risk. Sixth, institutions may require "controlled blockchain" systems with robust identity, permissioning, and audit trails, conflicting with the permissionless nature of public chains. Ultimately, Fidelity argues against simply equating AI growth with blockchain prosperity. The narrative requires moving from speculation to a concrete analysis of which infrastructures can convert real AI agent needs into sustainable economic value, critically examining each step of the assumed value chain.

Telegram Introduces WEB-Proxy Technology: Masks Traffic as Regular Website Visits

Telegram has introduced a new experimental WEB-Proxy technology designed to circumvent blocking by disguising messenger traffic as regular, secure website visits. Announced on August 21, 2026, the technology routes MTProxy data through an in-app WebView using HTTPS or WebSocket transport, making the data stream indistinguishable from legitimate web surfing. The core innovation is a multiplexed stream sent through a single WebView session. It uses special frame formats to pack multiple logical Telegram connections into one encrypted channel that externally resembles loading a web page. A server-side relay receives this stream, separates it into individual connections for the standard MTProxy, without decrypting content or knowing final destinations, thus preserving privacy. The WEB-Proxy operates on a standard HTTPS domain that also hosts a public website. The proxy bridge page is only activated by a specific URL parameter derived via HMAC-SHA256 from the proxy configuration; all other requests receive the normal site homepage. This provides reliable cover against automated detection systems. Currently a proof-of-concept, the system includes a desktop implementation, an experimental Android client, and plans for iOS support. The technology represents a shift towards more sophisticated integration with legitimate web infrastructure, complicating filtering systems that must choose between blocking HTTPS traffic entirely or allowing service access. Its long-term value will depend on resilience to adaptive traffic analysis and scalability without performance loss.

Justin Sun Declares War on Altcoin: 'It Freezes User Assets Through a Hidden Function'

Justin Sun has declared war on the altcoin $USD1, accusing World Liberty Financial (WLF) of embedding "backdoor functions" in its stablecoin that could allow the company to freeze or destroy user assets. In a statement via X, Sun detailed his ongoing legal battle with WLF. He claims his legal team successfully opposed WLF's attempt to move their dispute into private arbitration, keeping the case public in a California federal court. Through this process, Sun alleges he discovered $USD1 has similar hidden authorization mechanisms that grant WLF unilateral control over user funds, posing a significant counterparty risk. Sun also raised concerns about WLF's financial health. He questioned the company's ability to cover potential liabilities, including his own claims which could reach hundreds of millions of dollars. He emphasized that the roughly $4 billion in collateral backing $USD1 belongs to its users and cannot be used to satisfy company obligations. Sun urged investors to exercise "extreme caution." WLF has not yet issued an official response to these allegations. Sun's claims remain unproven at this stage.
