The market recovery at the beginning of the week quickly rebounded over the weekend, with BTC price falling to a low of $65,133 on Friday. Amid this decline, ETH price fell and swung through the lower support at $3,100 in search of stable support to prevent an extended decline.

Buyers focus on ETH’s 100-day EMA support for possible recovery
Ethereum (ETH) coin has been in a correction trend for more than a month, with the price falling from $4,095 to $3,100, marking a 25% decline. However, its lower level coincides with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level and is currently sloped at the 100-day EMA, creating a high area of interest (AOI) for buyers.
ETH price is currently trading at the $3,258 level, up 0.57% intraday and showing long-tail rejection at the $3,100 support, indicating that demand pressure remains intact.
Whether buyers can sustain above this level over the next few days will be crucial to show that the buy-on-the-buy sentiment remains intact. The renewed recovery could push ETH price up 14% to break the $3,730 resistance, followed by the previous swing high of $4,100.
