Ethereum is heating up, recently trading around $4,716, just shy of its previous all-time high of $4,867 recorded in November 2021. As bullish sentiment spreads due to strong ETF inflows, some retail traders show signs of profit-taking.
Earnings from Ethereum ETFs eclipsed $2.3 billion last week, far surpassing Bitcoin's figures. This institutional interest adds fuel to the fire as Ethereum's market cap now stands at $567.7 billion with $67.7 billion in daily trading volumes.
Daily activity metrics remain robust, with nearly 1 million transactions processed each day and significant transactions involving NFTs. Furthermore, Ethereum boasts a total value locked (TVL) of $95 billion, where it holds over 61% of the share across the DeFi sector.
"Weβre on a roll toward an ETH surge, aiming for that $5,200 mark!"
Comments across user boards reveal a mix of enthusiasm and skepticism among Ethereum supporters. On one hand, some can't contain their excitement, with quotes like:
"5k, 6k, 7kβ¦ donβt stop!!"
On the other, a few voices express doubt:
"Thanks to your shit post it crashed."
Despite the mixed reactions, many are geared towards optimism about Ethereum reaching a market cap of $1 trillion by year-end.
Current technical analysis indicates strong upward momentum:
A Golden Cross has emerged.
The MACD shows five consecutive green bars, indicating positive movement.
Besides, an ascending triangle breakout is ongoing, with resistance levels at $4,868, paving the way for a possible breakout beyond earlier highs.
Looking ahead, the Fibonacci extension aims for a price range projection of $5,250 to $5,607 by the end of August 2025. Continuing ETF inflows and institutional interest could significantly boost Ethereum's trajectory. Increased BTC liquidity moving toward ETH also impacts this dynamic.
