On December 3, 2025 (GMT-5), Ethereum (ETH) struggled to gain clear upward momentum amid lingering “extreme fear” in the broader crypto market, opening at $3,021.45 and trading in a choppy, sideways range between $2,958.72 (intraday low, hit in early morning trading) and $3,089.16 (intraday high, touched briefly in the mid-afternoon) before paring gains in the late session. The cryptocurrency ultimately closed at $2,997.33, edging down 0.79% over the past 24 hours and extending its recent weak performance—with the ETH/BTC ratio remaining stagnant around 0.033, continuing its downward trend from recent weeks. This subdued price action came as Ethereum spot ETFs recorded persistent outflows (following last week’s historically high net outflow of $729 million) and market sentiment remained depressed, with the Fear & Greed Index stuck at 14. However, undercurrents of long-term support persisted: positive spillover from Ethereum’s Layer 2 ecosystem growth (driven by the Dencun upgrade’s scalability improvements) and ongoing expectations of potential institutional capital inflows from future ETF developments provided a floor for prices. Traders remained cautious, closely monitoring shifts in ETF fund flows, upcoming U.S. economic data that could influence Fed monetary policy, and any breakthrough in the ETH/BTC ratio as key signals for near-term direction.

The market outlook for tomorrow is bullish, with a target price of 3251.38.
