Ethereum Retreats from $4,700 Amid Profit Taking: Key Levels to Watch for the Next Rebound

Ethereum’s latest rally hit a ceiling just shy of its all-time high. After climbing to $4,753, the asset was met with resistance and is now retracing amid a broader wave of profit-taking and thinning liquidity near historical highs.

Behind the scenes, crypto media and retail attention have surged once again, and firms like Outset PR are closely monitoring the shift. Using its proprietary Outset Data Pulse platform, the agency tracks real-time media trends across Web3. This intelligence helps crypto brands synchronize PR campaigns with moments of high momentum, while avoiding wasted spend during noise-driven pullbacks. When the market shifts, Outset PR aligns visibility with reality.

Momentum Cools After Retest of All-Time High

Ethereum briefly retested its August all-time high of $4,946, but failed to push through. The rejection at $4,753 marked the beginning of a short-term correction, one driven more by trader psychology than by structural weakness.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI-14) has slipped to 63.27, down from a local high of 75.32, indicating diminishing bullish momentum. While still above the neutral 50 mark, the drop shows traders are no longer chasing the rally. Instead, they're reassessing exposure.

Adding to the evidence, ETH’s 24-hour volume jumped 28.3% to $51.4 billion, reflecting heavy selling. Historically, Ethereum experiences 10–15% pullbacks after breaking major resistance levels like $4,500, and this correction is playing out along familiar lines.

The 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $4,542 now serves as the most immediate support level. A break below could open the way for a deeper correction toward $4,406, which lines up with the 38.2% Fib level and coincides with a volume cluster where 120,000 ETH last traded.

Should the selloff intensify, that zone could act as a strong reaccumulation point. But if bulls manage to defend $4,542, Ethereum could consolidate before making another attempt at higher ground.

Structure Remains Intact: ETF Flows and Fusaka Upgrade

Despite the recent retreat, Ethereum’s macro outlook remains bullish. Two key drivers continue to shape long-term conviction:

• ETF inflows are steady at $1.3 billion per week, indicating sustained institutional appetite.

• The scheduled Fusaka upgrade in November 2025 will bring enhanced scalability and network efficiency, strengthening Ethereum’s competitive edge.

Short-term traders are prioritizing risk management. But long-term holders and institutional allocators continue to position for Ethereum’s evolving role in the global digital economy.

How Outset PR Aligns Visibility with Market Conditions

In moments like this—where sentiment shifts quickly—PR strategy must respond with precision. Outset PR delivers that precision using a stack of internal tools built for the crypto space.

The agency’s proprietary Syndication Map helps identify which outlets offer the highest visibility per dollar spent. Instead of guessing which stories will get traction, Outset PR targets the publications most likely to amplify content across aggregators like CoinMarketCap, Binance Square, and even traditional finance portals like Yahoo Finance.

“If a client needs listicle coverage, we instantly filter for outlets that publish that format, check pricing and syndication strength, and pitch only where the math makes sense,” explains Maximilian Fondé, Senior Media Analyst at Outset PR.

This data-backed approach reduces waste and builds sustainable brand visibility. Campaigns aren’t only placed with care—they’re measured.

The impact can be profound. One campaign for StealthEX, executed during a moment of elevated market attention, resulted in 92 republications, reaching over 3 billion impressions. 

That kind of leverage is difficult to replicate without precise timing and a trusted network of media relationships—something Anastasia Anisimova, who leads media relations at Outset PR, has cultivated over time.

“We take relationships seriously,” she says. “A friendly, professional tone matters more than people realize. It is what opens the door to long-term media trust.”

Conclusion

Ethereum’s pullback from $4,753 is a natural pause after a steep rally, not a breakdown. While momentum has cooled, the price structure remains intact. Traders are eyeing $4,542 and $4,406 as key support levels for a possible rebound.

Yet beyond price levels, narratives drive visibility, and timing determines impact. As Ethereum adjusts, the need for smart, data-aligned communication grows stronger. Outset PR is bridging that gap—ensuring that crypto projects communicate not just clearly, but strategically, in tune with the market itself.

Because in crypto, attention is currency. And timing is everything.
