Ethereum Price Prediction: Post-NFP Reaction and Next Key Levels

In the last article, Ethereum was reacting to a demand zone, but there was liquidity left just below it, which made me cautious. There was also a clearly marked M30 demand beneath, signaling a possible safety net.

The price had been accumulating in this area for about a week, almost like it was holding its breath. Then came the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data release at 08:30 — 22K actual versus 75K forecast and 79K previous — and the market reacted.

Ethereum experienced a downward manipulation, hitting the M30 demand exactly as marked, before bouncing back upwards.

For those tracking the influence of economic data on crypto, this is a classic example:

NFP can trigger volatility in the market as traders digest employment surprises, adjust positions, and hunt for liquidity. In Ethereum’s case, this move allowed it to pick up the sell-side liquidity left behind during the prior accumulation phase.

Now, the price seems could reach the 4500 area, reclaiming the liquidity it left behind.

The short-term structure hints at a potential continuation upwards, but the key here is to watch how it handles the remaining resistance and liquidity clusters along the way.

As always, nothing in trading is guaranteed. The scenarios outlined are plausible, but the market can move in unpredictable ways at any moment.

The key is to respect the zones, manage stops properly, and let the market breathe a little before forcing a position.
