Ether Price Stabilizes as Investors Eye Upcoming ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs

Ether Poised for Rebound as Market Watches Trump’s Tariff Decision

Ether (ETH) may be signaling the end of its recent downtrend, with several technical indicators pointing to a possible price recovery—just as markets prepare for a major announcement from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump is expected to unveil a new round of reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday, aimed at countering what he calls unfair trade practices by U.S. partners. The outcome of that announcement could set the tone for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

Technical Signals Suggest Bottoming Pattern

After falling nearly 30% from recent highs, Ether found support at $1,755 on March 11—a 16-month low that has so far held. Since then, ETH has posted a modest recovery to around $1,880, forming what analysts believe could be a double bottom pattern. A break above $2,104, the neckline of that pattern, would confirm a bullish reversal and set up a potential move toward $2,400.

Weaker Momentum on New Lows

Momentum indicators also reflect a shift. Although Ether’s price returned to its March lows last week, the histogram tracking its distance from the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) showed a higher low. This divergence suggests that the recent downward pressure may be weakening.

Reversal Hints from Line Break Chart

Further evidence comes from the three-line break chart, which turned bullish with the appearance of a green bar—typically seen as a signal that a downtrend is losing steam. While a similar signal appeared in early March and failed, this one aligns with multiple signs of reduced selling pressure.

Macro Uncertainty Still Looms

However, macroeconomic risks remain a wildcard. If Trump’s tariff plans are harsher than markets expect, investor sentiment could shift rapidly, undermining the current bullish setup and sending prices lower.

For now, Ether appears to be stabilizing. If external conditions remain steady, ETH could be positioned to lead the next leg higher in the broader crypto market.
