MARKET UPDATE
Choppy market conditions dominated the cryptocurrency landscape on March 3 as the global economy continues to face challenges on multiple fronts and uncertainty about the future weighs heavily on asset prices.

ETH bulls are struggling to hold $2,800, but analysts hint that multiple timeframes point to an eventual breakout to the $3,000 range.
Ether is a “safe buy” above $3,200

The analyst said, “The weekly Ethereum has the same great-looking setup, with a combination confirmed reversal & double bottom. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it eventually take us to just below $5,000 as the first target.”
Crypto Analysis
A similar sentiment was expressed by crypto analyst and pseudonymous Twitter user Crypto White Walker, who posted the following chart and stated that they “would like to see a wick till $2,600s again before it starts its ascend.”
Crypto White Walker said, “A close above $3,200 will make this chart look even better and in my opinion, safe buying zone is then only, once it breaks the lower highs on the daily time frame. Weekly RSI should be 55.5-56.5 soon.”
