Data as of 2026-10-08 23:59 UTC · Levels and zones: Znorva analysis engine

Ethereum price analysis today shows a weak daily close at 2,474.8 and the day’s main fact: 5 model setups were invalidated before becoming active. This reading uses the data timestamp 8 October 2026, 23:59 UTC. All distance figures below are measured from that daily close.

Ethereum price snapshot

Ethereum ended 8 October 2026 at a daily close of 2,474.8 on ETH/USDT. The session opened at 2,574.15, reached 2,587.28, fell to 2,406.11, and finished down -3.86%. The full daily range was 7.53%.

The previous daily close was 2,574.14 on 7 October 2026. Across the last 7 sessions, from 2 October 2026 to 8 October 2026, ETH/USDT moved from 2,706.43 to 2,474.8 for a -8.56% change. Over the last 30 sessions, the market printed a high of 2,807.34 and a low of 2,358.88.

That leaves Ethereum well below the recent seven-session open and much closer to the lower end of the last 30-session range than the top. For readers who track the same framework across other coins, Znorva’s AI crypto analysis pages use the same rule-based structure.

Nearest reference levels and zones

All distances in this section are measured from the daily close of 2,474.8.

• The nearest reference level is the previous month low on the 1D timeframe at 2,356.41. It sits 4.78% below the daily close.
• The nearest demand zone is a 4H demand zone from 2,465.96 to 2,471.05. It is 0.15% away and classified Strong by the engine. It formed on 9 October 2026.
• A second demand zone sits on the 1D timeframe from 1,923.27 to 2,221.54. It is 10.23% away and classified Strong by the engine. It formed on 20 August 2026.
• The nearest supply zone is a 4H supply zone from 2,542.39 to 2,545.19. It is 2.73% away and classified Strong by the engine. It formed on 8 October 2026.
• A wider 1D supply zone runs from 2,587.28 to 2,683.73. It is 4.55% away and classified Strong by the engine. It formed on 8 October 2026.

The map is tight around the latest daily close. A 4H demand zone sits just under the market, while the first nearby supply zone is 2.73% above. There are no recorded liquidity sweeps in the current data, so the structure is defined by nearby zones and one monthly reference level rather than by a fresh sweep-and-reclaim event.

What changed since yesterday?

The main change since the previous daily close was the move from 2,574.14 on 7 October 2026 to 2,474.8 on 8 October 2026. That was a -3.86% drop, and it came with a 7.53% daily range. In plain terms, price moved lower and did so with wide intraday movement.

The engine added 3 new zones in the last 48 hours. No nearest reference levels were touched in the last 24 hours. No model setups became active in that period, and no model-tracked outcomes were resolved under the model’s rules.

Instead, the standout change was the 5 setups that were invalidated before becoming active. That matters because it shows the model saw potential scenarios fail their conditions before activation rather than progress into live tracking. For broader context across majors, compare this move with Znorva’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins market notes.

Model-tracked outcomes

Model-tracked outcomes are hypothetical analytical results, not executed trades or customer results. Znorva does not execute trades.

R = the distance between the reference entry and the model’s stop level. Over the last 30 days, the engine tracked 5 resolved setups on ETH/USDT for a net hypothetical model-tracked outcome of -2.84 R.

In that same 30-day window, 1 setup produced a partial outcome, 4 resolved at the model’s stop level, 0 resolved at breakeven, 0 reached their final target, 62 were invalidated before becoming active, 32 expired without becoming active, and 0 are in progress.

The most recent resolved setups were:

• 1H long-side scenario, crypto spot: became active at a reference price of 2,711.05 on 5 October 2026 and resolved at the model’s stop level at 2,676.09 on 7 October 2026 for -1 R.
• 1H long-side scenario, crypto futures: became active at a reference price of 2,710 on 5 October 2026 and resolved at the model’s stop level at 2,673.57 on 7 October 2026 for -1 R.
• 15m short-side scenario, crypto futures: became active at a reference price of 2,720.3 on 2 October 2026 and resolved at the model’s stop level at 2,750.69 on 2 October 2026 for -1 R.
• 15m short-side scenario, crypto futures: became active at a reference price of 2,718.27 on 29 September 2026, reached target 1 (TP1), then resolved for a partial outcome at 2,682.35 on 29 September 2026 for 1.16 R.
• 15m short-side scenario, crypto futures: became active at a reference price of 2,694.24 on 27 September 2026 and resolved at the model’s stop level at 2,707.84 on 27 September 2026 for -1 R.

The recent record is weak. There were no final targets reached, the net result over the window is negative, and the count of invalidated and expired setups is high. That does not create an active scenario by itself, but it does show that recent conditions have been poor for clean follow-through under the model’s rules.

How Znorva AI reads this market

The model starts with a reference level, such as a previous day, week, or month high or low. It then checks for a liquidity sweep and a reclaim, which means 2 completed closes back beyond the level. If that structure appears, the engine tracks 3 targets and reports results across 7-day and 30-day windows.

In the current Ethereum reading, there are no recorded liquidity sweeps and 0 setups in progress. The map instead shows one monthly reference level below the market, a 4H demand zone just under the daily close, and supply zones above it. That means the engine is describing a structured market, but not an already active scenario.
