#比特币2026年行情展望 Ethereum makes room for a rally



Currently, ETH is oscillating around $3300. Based on contract data, the next major target is around $4100. Looking at past market rhythms, whenever leverage levels approach 0.60, there’s usually a 10%-25% extension rally. But this kind of increase rarely happens in one go — the market never does that.

A more realistic scenario looks like this:
Liquidity is slightly released → Bulls start accumulating → Leverage gets wiped out → Then it continues upward

What do on-chain signals say now? Let’s wait and see.

ETH’s SOPR is still below 1, indicating that holders are still generally at a loss. In this situation, a direct one-way surge isn’t very likely. A healthy rally should look like this:

From the chart, the 3050-3170 range is an important demand zone. If the price returns here and washes out excessive leveraged positions, it actually sets the stage for a push toward 4100. This is called "clear out first, then rise."

Core logic: not bearish, just not following the rally. Clean up the market first — those who should exit, exit; leverage that should be wiped out, get wiped out. Only then can the move be steady and sustainable.

First shake out before a rally, I’m familiar with this routine. 3050-3170 is the deadly zone, and at that time, a bunch of people will be trapped again.

The theory of "wash first, then rise" has been heard too many times, but you just can't see the wash happening.

This theory sounds quite reasonable, but when it comes to the critical moment, who can avoid a sudden surge?

First, shake out the weak hands before the rise; this tactic is old, but it still makes sense. No rush, wait until SOPR rises before talking. Can you catch it around 3050? That's the key. I believe in 4100; it all depends on whether the leverage can break through. Another round of liquidation is coming; retail investors should wake up.

First shake out the weak hands, then make a big surge. I'm already tired of this routine.

Wash first, then rise. I'm familiar with this routine, but the key still depends on whether the leverage blows up or not.

First shake out the weak hands, then take off. I understand this rhythm.

It sounds like the same old "clear first, then rise" approach, but is it really different this time? It seems like every time it's said, the result is still a big all-in.

Haha, I'm tired of the saying "clear first, then rise." The key is, when will it truly clear?
