Ethereum has successfully activated the Fusaka upgrade on mainnet, marking its second major network enhancement in 2025.

With PeerDAS now live, ETH has surged past the critical $3,200 resistance zone, and traders are watching whether the rally can sustain and even extend further.

Fusaka Goes Live

Ethereum confirmed the Fusaka mainnet activation on December 3 at 22:04 UTC. The upgrade introduces PeerDAS technology, which unlocks up to 8x data throughput for rollups, raises the gas limit from 45 million to 60 million units, and adds R1 curve support for improved user experience. Currently, Ethereum processes between 1.3 and 1.8 million transactions daily and holds over $73 billion in value locked in DeFi.

For L2 and Layer 2 rollups, Fusaka is even more relevant. PeerDAS increases the available space for blobs and prepares gradual capacity increases in future forks focused solely on data. The goal is clear: to maintain very low fees on networks like Arbitrum, Base, or Optimism, even if demand continues to grow.

Community members will monitor the network for issues over the next 24 hours.

ETH Breaks $3,200 Resistance

ETH is trading at $3,231, up 7.38% over the last 24 hours. The price has cleared the $3,154-$3,200 supply cluster that marked strong resistance, a move that traders see as a bullish signal.

The pattern echoes the pre-Pectra phase in May 2025, when Ethereum surged 56% in just seven days following that upgrade. Technical charts show a classic bullish divergence: while price marked a lower low between November 4 and December 1, RSI printed a higher low—a setup that often signals weakening selling pressure.

On-chain data supports the bullish case. Addresses holding at least $1 million in ETH have increased from 13,322 to 13,945, representing roughly $623 million in additional accumulation by large holders.

Key Levels to Watch

With the $3,200 zone now cleared, the next target sits at $3,653. If the rally extends 56% from Pectra, a move toward $4,262 comes into view.

On the downside, $3,200 now serves as the first support to hold. A break below $2,996 would weaken the bullish structure, exposing $2,873 and potentially $2,618.

For now, sustaining above $3,200 will determine whether Fusaka marks the beginning of a new bullish phase.
