Following the recent price spike that brought Ethereum (ETH) close to the $4,000 mark, the second-largest cryptocurrency has experienced inflows and renewed market enthusiasm. This comes in response to the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of Ethereum ETF applications by major asset managers. Best Week For Ethereum Since March According to a report by CoinShares, digital asset investment products have witnessed a total of $2 billion inflows, contributing to a five-week consecutive run of inflows amounting to $4.3 billion. Additionally, trading volumes in exchange-traded products (ETPs) have risen to $12.8 billion for the week, a 55% increase from the previous week. Notably, inflows have been observed across various providers, indicating a turnaround in sentiment. Incumbent providers have also experienced a slowdown in outflows, reinforcing the positive market sentiment. Related Reading: Solana Searching For Direction: Will SOL Break Free Or Fall Flat? As seen in the image above, Bitcoin (BTC) continues to dominate the market, with inflows totaling $1.97 billion for the week. On the other hand, short Bitcoin products saw outflows of $5.3 million for the third consecutive week. Similarly, Ethereum has also seen a notable surge in inflows, recording its best week since March with a total of $69 million, which for CoinShares is likely a reaction to the unexpected SEC decision to allow spot-based ETFs on Ethereum. Differing Perspectives On ETH’s Price Despite the positive developments, Ethereum’s price has struggled to maintain bullish momentum, failing to retest its yearly high of $4,100 reached in March. On Friday, the price dropped as low as $3,577. However, Ethereum addresses holding more than 10,000 ETH have increased by 3% in the past three weeks, indicating a significant spike in buying pressure.

On the other hand, crypto analyst Lark Davis highlights that Ethereum’s supply on exchanges is at an eight-year low, suggesting that the upcoming ETFs could cause a “massive supply shock” and potentially lead to a substantial increase in ETH’s price. Ultimately, as Ethereum’s price remains uncertain, market participants eagerly await the next movements in the cryptocurrency. As investors and analysts closely monitor the market dynamics, the question of whether a breakout above $4,000 or a retest of lower support levels at $3,500 awaits an answer. The second-largest cryptocurrency on the market is currently trading at $3,690, down 6.5% in the past two weeks. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has recently seen its price fall below the 4-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA). This technical development is noteworthy for traders and investors, as the 4-hour SMA is often used to gauge short-term market momentum. When a cryptocurrency’s price drops below this moving average, it can signal a potential shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish. This could imply increased selling pressure and a possible downward trend continuation. The implications of this price movement extend beyond technical analysis, as broader market conditions, investor behavior, and fundamental factors also play a crucial role in shaping Ethereum’s future trajectory. In this article, we will be exploring ETH’s potential price action with the help of technical indicators. Ethereum Price Condition On The 4-Hour Chart Firstly, it can be observed that ETH’s price in the 4-hour timeframe has experienced a drop below the 100-day SMA after moving in a consolidation manner for a while. It should be noted that most times when an asset drops below SMA, it could indicate a short or long-term move in that direction. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator also confirms that Ethereum might move in the downward direction for a while as the RSI line has crossed below 50% and could trend there for a while. From the daily chart, it can be noticed that Ethereum is attempting to make a move toward the 100-day SMA after dropping a bearish candlestick on the previous day. At this point, it can be suggested ETH dropped to test the 100-day SMA before making an upward move again. Finally, the RSI line from the RSI indication is currently dropping out of the overbought zone toward 50% indicating that there is still room for ETH to move downward. ETH Price Projection As of right now, Ethereum is attempting to move downward toward the daily SMA, If it drops below, it will continue to move downward toward the $2,865 support level. Furthermore, it can drop even more to test the $2,147 support level if it drops below the aforementioned level. However, if ETH’s price touches the SMA and bounces back, it will move upward toward the $4,099 resistance level. Also, should it break below this resistance level, it will continue to move up to test the $4,863 level. ETH may move to create a new high if it rises above the $4,863 level. As of the time of writing, ETH’s price was trading at around $3,694 and was up by 0.41% with a market capitalization of over $443 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of over $18 billion. Its market capitalization is down by 2.97%, while its trading volume is up by 39.28% in the past day. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

The on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant has explained why Bitcoin and Ethereum have recently appeared to be on a path towards acceleration. Bitcoin & Ethereum Are Looking Bullish In On-Chain Metrics In a new thread on X, the official CryptoQuant handle discussed how some important on-chain indicators are looking for Bitcoin and Ethereum right now. Related Reading: Bitcoin Investors Beware: Extreme Greed Has Returned In Crypto The first two metrics of interest here keep track of the demand from the permanent holders and the whales. First, here are the relevant charts for BTC: As is visible above, demand from the permanent holders, or the HODLers, had been going down after peaking in March, but recently, the metric has seen a turnaround. These investors have added 70,000 BTC to their wallets in the past month. A similar trend has also been witnessed in the whales’ holdings, typically defined as addresses carrying more than 1,000 BTC. According to the analytics firm, the monthly demand from these large investors is up 4.4%. CryptoQuant has also revealed that the sector is experiencing an influx of potentially new capital, as the “new whales” have seen their Realized Cap shoot up recently. The Realized Cap measures the amount of capital a particular investor group uses to purchase their Bitcoin. Thus, the increase in the Realized Cap of the new whales, which are whale entities that have entered within the past 155 days, would represent the fresh demand from large investors coming into BTC. As the charts above showcase, the pattern in this metric has looked similar this year to what was observed back in 2020. The demand that year led to the 2021 bull run. Now, here is what the trend in the permanent holder inflows and whale balance has looked like for Ethereum: As the graphs show, demand for Ethereum from these investor groups has shot up since the spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) approvals last month. The permanent holders are now making inflows of 40,000 ETH per day on average, while whales, the investors holding 10,000 to 100,000 ETH, have increased their holdings to record highs of around 16 million ETH. While signs have been positive for Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of direct demand, there is a development that may be detrimental to the cryptocurrency sector as a whole. It is the slowdown in the growth of the stablecoins. The chart shows that the Tether (USDT) market cap grew sharply during the rally towards the Bitcoin all-time high. While the largest stablecoin still receives capital injections, its demand has slowed. Related Reading: Shiba Inu, Cardano Seeing Explosive Whale Activity, Santiment Reveals Historically, stablecoins have been one of the gateways for capital into the sector, so consistent demand for them can be required for sustainable rallies. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $70,200, up more than 4% over the past week. Featured image from Dall-E, CryptoQuant.com, chart from TradingView.com

Despite the relative tepid movement in the crypto market since Bitcoin hit a new all-time high (ATH) in March, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have continued to top traditional assets, including Gold. This was highlighted in a recent report that showed how crypto assets have provided the best returns for a while now. Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Solana Outperform Traditional Assets Raoul Pal, Co-Founder of Exponential Age Asset Management (EXPAAM), shared the crypto investment firm’s latest monthly update, showing annualized returns on all major assets. Related Reading: Dogecoin Social Sentiment Turns Bearish And Drops To March Levels, What This Means For Price Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have topped traditional assets with annualized returns of 141%, 152%, and 224%, respectively. For context, NDX, the best major traditional asset, boasts an annualized return of 17%. Thanks to this, these crypto assets have been the best-performing assets in 11 of the last 14 years. These digital assets also look on course to outperform traditional assets again this year, as they boast higher year-to-date (YTD) gains. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana currently have YTD gains of over 67%, 66% and 70%, respectively. On the other hand, Gold, the best-performing non-crypto asset this year, has a YTD gain of 13%. The NDX boasts a YTD gain of 10%, while the SPY has recorded a YTD gain of 11%. Interestingly, while the volatility of crypto assets has been criticized at times, this has largely contributed to why they have continued outperforming traditional assets. The Director of Global Macro at Fidelity Investments, Jurrien Timmer, previously highlighted how Bitcoin has continued to record the best risk-reward since 2020. He also alluded to Bitcoin’s high volatility, stating that Bitcoin’s huge drawdowns have also come with large gains. The same can also said about crypto tokens, especially considering that a token like Solana, which dropped to as low as $10 in late 2022, is now trading above $170. More Gains Ahead For BTC, ETH, SOL Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are expected to record more YTD gains as the year progresses, given that the crypto market is currently in a bull run. Recent developments in the crypto market also paint a bullish outlook for these crypto tokens. One is the increased demand for the Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Data from Farside Investors showed that these funds recorded net inflows of $886.6 million on June 4, their best day since March. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Shares “Inevitable” Prices For Bitcoin And 5 Altcoins Meanwhile, the Spot Ethereum ETFs are expected to begin trading by July.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin has broken above the $70,000 resistance level and is trading at around $71,000, up almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
