Ethereum briefly hits $3,000 but traders skeptical as Fusaka (PeerDAS, gas limit 60M) lands tomorrow — BitMine buys 96,798 ETH amid mixed analyst targets

ETH fell to about $2,803 after breaking the $2,900 support amid large-holder (whale) sell flows. Derivatives volumes rose (ETH +19%, overall +46%) while open interest fell, suggesting position unwinds. On-chain and Renko analysis indicate further downside with immediate support near $2,700 and lower support around $2,250. Technicals are bearish (RSI ~33, negative MACD). The Fusaka upgrade scheduled Dec. 3 aims to lower rollup costs and boost throughput, which could improve ETH’s economic profile over time but is unlikely to reverse the current bearish setup immediately.
