As of late December, Ethereum is approaching a potential red closing for the month, which could mark 75% of red months in 2025. Historical data indicates consolidation within $2,800-$3,000, affecting overall trading behavior.

The month of December shows Ethereum trading near $3,016, reflecting a 2.7% increase over 24 hours. If it closes below its December start of ~$2,992, Ethereum could end the year negatively for most months.

Institutional factors are in play as Ethereum ETFs saw outflows of $853.9 million, suggesting possible widespread de-risking. This movement reflects larger concerns within financial markets before December’s end.

Prediction markets currently maintain optimism  OP -2.80% about maintaining levels above $2,900, revealing mixed market sentiments. Past consolidation trends suggest volatility could break through current ranges, affecting broader market stability.

The Boss, Independent Trader: “Ethereum is at a critical point, with the green line representing a key support level around $2,917.65. As long as the price stays above this floor, there is potential for a rally toward the blue line based above $4,200.” – The Crypto Basic
