Key insight

79,000 acts as a pivot — bulls need a daily close above 80,500 (Feb consolidation resistance) to shift momentum; failure keeps the 74,500 200-day MA in play as the next magnet.

Stalls at $79,000 — 12% below the 2025 all-time high near $89,000, with ETH down 0.5% signalling weak broad crypto demand and no breakout catalyst visible.

Main risk

ETH underperformance / altcoin bleed

ETH -0.5% vs BTC +0.5% today flags risk-off within crypto; broad altcoin weakness historically precedes BTC rollover toward key moving averages.
