Just yesterday, the market seemed to have written off Ethereum, with even optimistic analysts losing hope. However, in a classic crypto turnaround, Ethereum surged back, reclaiming the $2,000 mark.
Now that the price is holding above this key level, the question investors are asking is: how high can Ethereum realistically go for March 21st.
Key Price Levels to Watch for Ethereum
Despite this recent bounce, the overall price structure for Ethereum still leans bearish. While the current recovery is underway, Ethereum is testing key support levels, and the broader trend still faces downward pressure.
Ethereum had earlier seen buying interest around the high $1,800s, just below $1,900. If the current upward momentum continues, resistance is likely to be encountered in the $2,100 to $2,200 range.
If Ethereum can decisively break through this resistance zone and establish it as new support, the market sentiment could shift to a more bullish outlook.

A break above $2,200 would naturally lead to $2,500 or even $2,800 in the next few days. However, if Ethereum fails to hold steady above current levels, the next support could fall around the $1.5K mark. Currently, Ethereum’s RSI is at 40.4, showing neutral conditions—neither overbought nor oversold.
ETH Whale Activity
Three large investors, or “whales,” withdrew a significant amount of Ethereum – 14,217 ETH, worth approximately $28.95 million – from the Binance exchange right as the price of ETH climbed back above $2,000. Following these withdrawals, the same whales borrowed 12 million USDT (Tether, a stablecoin) on Aave, a decentralized lending platform.
Three whales have jointly withdrawn 14,217 $ETH ($28.95M) from #Binance at an average price of $2,036 in the past 9 hours as $ETH reclaimed $2,000!
They then used it to borrow 12M $USDT on #Aave and later deposited the stablecoins back to #Binance and #OKX.

They then deposited the USDT back onto exchanges like Binance and OKX. This move can be bullish because taking ETH off exchanges suggests the whales are holding it, which may reduce selling pressure and show confidence in future price growth.
According to IntoTheBlock, large holders have been more active since mid-March. Inflows from large holders jumped from 197,370 ETH on March 16 to 910,810 ETH by March 18. At the same time, outflows increased from 198,960 ETH to 438,360 ETH. This was the highest net ETH flow in the last three months.
This surge in whale activity also matched a rise in exchange outflows, with more ETH leaving exchanges than entering, showing rising demand along with the whale movements.
