ETH Rises by 4% on Upgrade Optimism, Dip Traders Positioning
Ethereum (ETHUSD) price surges by about 4% in 24 hours as Fusaka upgrade optimism boosts investors’ sentiment amidst cryptocurrency sell-offs while dip traders begin to take positions.
The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency 24 hours rally combines upgrade optimism, technical mean reversion, and macro-driven crypto inflows. Crypto analysts explained that while bullish in the short term, ETH needs to hold $2,800 and show Fusaka execution progress to sustain momentum.
The Fusaka upgrade is highly important to Ethereum’s future, as it is a foundational step designed to dramatically improve scalability, enhance efficiency, and lower transaction costs, especially for Layer 2 (L2) networks.

ETH defended the $2,680 support level tested yesterday, while RSI 14 hit 28.15 – the most oversold since May 2025. The 20-day exponential moving average of $2,823 now acts as resistance.
Market value of Ethereum is up by 3.8% in 24 hours as trading volume reached $17.4 billion on Sunday as investors begin to bet on the newly forming momentum. Ethereum trading has dropped by 50% on the day as investors begin to re-enter positions after the price dipped.
ETH picks up as the market expects Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade, scheduled for December 3. The upgrade will introduce PeerDAS to expand data capacity for Layer 2 networks by 10x.
Pectra upgrade in May 2025 drove a significant price uptick, with ETH gaining 50% in the same period. Hence, investors have started pricing in potential post-upgrade demand surges.
