$ETH Ethereum:As of mid-January 2026, Ethereum (ETH) has shown a strong start to the year, displaying a resilient recovery from its late-2025 consolidation. Below is a short analysis and a candlestick chart representing its price action for the month.
Ethereum (ETH) Market Analysis: January 2026
Price Performance: Ethereum began 2026 trading at approximately \$2,967. As of January 16, 2026, it is trading around \$3,313, marking a year-to-date gain of roughly 11.7\%.
Key Breakout: A significant turning point occurred on January 14, 2026, when ETH surged over 7\% in a single day, breaking through the critical 100-day moving average resistance. This move shifted the short-term sentiment from neutral to bullish.
Technical Levels:
Resistance: The immediate upside target for bulls is \$3,544. A sustained break above this could pave the way for a test of the psychological \$4,100 level.
Support: Strong support has formed in the \$3,075 - \$3,100 range. Analysts suggest that as long as ETH stays above the \$2,850 mark, the medium-term uptrend remains intact.
Sentiment and Risk: Market data indicates a relatively high leverage ratio (approx. 0.60), suggesting a high appetite for risk. While this often precedes significant rallies (potentially targeting 10\text{--}25\% upside), it also introduces the risk of "liquidation wicks"—sharp, temporary price dips that flush out over-leveraged positions before continuing the trend.
Long-term Outlook: ETH continues to trade within a multi-year ascending triangle pattern. If it successfully breaks and holds above the \$4,100 resistance later this year, technical projections suggest targets as high as \$5,500 to \$6,000.

🇺🇲🇮🇱💥🇮🇷 New York Times: Netanyahu și Trump au discutat aseară. Prim-ministrul a cerut amânarea atacului asupra Iranului.
Motivele: Teama de lipsa capacității din partea Israelului de a se apăra împotriva unui răspuns iranian.
Zeci de aeronave americane erau deasupra Irakului pregătite să atace Iranul, dar în ultima clipă Trump a anulat atacul la cererea lui Netanyahu. O altă țară care a atacat regimul iranian, dar s-a retras după o amenințare, a fost Arabia Saudită, care a negat accesul la spațiul aerian pentru un posibil atac american.
