Ethereum is trading confidently above the $3,100 level after breaking through this key resistance with strength, signaling a potential shift in market dynamics. While Bitcoin experiences a short-term pullback from its all-time highs, Ethereum’s upward move highlights growing momentum across the altcoin sector. Bulls are increasingly optimistic, viewing this divergence as a sign that capital may be rotating into ETH and other high-conviction altcoins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bears Strike Back After ATH: Long/Short Ratio Flips Negative Fueling this optimism is a combination of improving technicals and strengthening fundamentals. One of the most notable developments came today, as SharpLink Gaming—one of the first Nasdaq-listed companies to adopt an Ethereum-focused treasury strategy—purchased an additional $19,560,000 worth of ETH. The combination of strong price action, increasing corporate interest, and supportive on-chain metrics suggests that Ethereum could be leading the next leg of the altcoin rally, especially if Bitcoin continues to consolidate and investors shift focus to undervalued opportunities across the ecosystem. SharpLink Becomes Largest Corporate Holder Of Ethereum SharpLink Gaming has officially become the largest corporate holder of Ethereum, with a total of 280,706 ETH now held in its treasury, valued at approximately $840 million at current market prices. The company’s aggressive accumulation strategy signals a new phase in institutional Ethereum adoption, reinforcing the growing perception of ETH as a long-term strategic asset. Top analyst Ted Pillows confirmed SharpLink’s latest purchase using on-chain data, which shows that the ETH was acquired through a Coinbase Prime hot wallet—a platform commonly used by institutions for large-scale crypto transactions. According to a press release, SharpLink raised $413 million through the issuance of over 24 million new shares between July 7 and July 11, capital it promptly deployed into the crypto market. In total, the firm acquired 74,656 ETH over the past week at an average price of $2,852 per coin. This aggressive buying spree not only reflects SharpLink’s treasury strategy but also highlights a broader trend among institutional players of turning to ETH as a core asset. As traditional companies seek alternatives to cash and government bonds, Ethereum’s maturing ecosystem and growing staking participation make it an increasingly compelling option. SharpLink’s bold move may inspire other public firms to explore ETH as a reserve asset.

The price is currently trading at $3,155.21, up over 6% for the week. The breakout above the key resistance zone at $2,850 is now confirmed. Marking a significant shift in market structure after months of consolidation and bearish pressure. This move pushes ETH to its highest weekly close since early 2024. Technically, Ethereum has reclaimed all major moving averages: the 50-week SMA ($2,645), 100-week SMA ($2,659), and 200-week SMA ($2,427). This alignment supports a longer-term bullish reversal and confirms that momentum has shifted in favor of buyers. The clean break above the previous resistance adds strength to the move. And sets the stage for a potential rally toward the $3,600–$3,800 range in the coming weeks.

Ethereum’s price action in the past seven days has seen it finally touch the $3,000 resistance zone for the first time in months. This interesting move comes amid growing institutional attention caused by the massive inflows into Spot Ethereum ETFs and Bitcoin’s recent climb to new all-time highs. Ethereum has gained over 17% in the past seven days alone, reaching a new local high of $3,065. Interestingly, bullish technical structures are starting to emerge that could send the ETH price soaring toward new all-time highs. Two analysts have now spotted classic bullish setups, both hinting at a significant rally on the horizon. Cup And Handle Pattern Points To $4,200 If Breakout Holds The first analyst, known as @CryptosBatman on the social media platform X, shared a daily candlestick chart of Ethereum, where a pure ‘cup and handle’ pattern is visible over the past four months. The pattern, which started in early March, shows a rounded bottom that dipped to as low as $1,400, followed by a minor consolidation that formed the handle portion. Now, recent price action has caused ETH to break out of the neckline around $2,850. A technical projection from this neckline points to a 45% move to a price target just below $4,200. Related Reading: Ethereum Is Already Outperforming Bitcoin In July, Is Altcoin Season Here? According to this analyst, Ethereum’s breakout from the cup and handle pattern has formed in the middle of powerful fundamentals. Ethereum is now beginning to outperform Bitcoin in terms of short-term returns, and exchange reserves have dropped to an eight-year low. These are both fundamental signals of strong holding behavior and reduced sell-side pressure. With these metrics aligning with the technical breakout, @CryptosBatman believes Ethereum could be next in line to break its all-time high, possibly before the end of Q3. Weekly Chart Echoes Previous 42% Rally Another crypto market technician, CryptoBullet, expressed a similar sentiment on the social media platform X. This analyst referenced Ethereum’s weekly candlestick chart to support his outlook. He pointed to the formation of last week’s massive green breakout candle that has pushed the price above a major supply-resistance zone around $2,850. This move, as shown in the chart below, mirrors the same structure that caused a 42% rally between February and March 2024, when ETH moved from the $2,900 level up to nearly $4,100 within a matter of weeks. Related Reading: Ethereum To Outperform Bitcoin: Buy Before Mid-August, Analyst Warns If that price action is replicated in this current setup, Ethereum could again be on track to test $4,200 in the next three to four weeks. This puts the timeline of a $4,200 price target sometime in August 2025. The projection is shown with the vertical price range box drawn in the chart above, which maps a 42% upside from the breakout zone. Interestingly, this projection relies on the $2,800 price level, which previously acted as resistance, now flipping to support and preventing any sustained retracements below the $2,900 to $2,850 range. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,980, having reached an intraday high of $3,074. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum is undergoing a critical test after breaking above the key $2,850 resistance level and reaching a local high of $3,080. Since then, ETH has retraced by less than 5%, holding steady and showing signs of strength amid broader market volatility. The ability to maintain levels above $2,850 is being closely watched by traders and analysts as a potential launchpad for the next leg higher. Related Reading: Ethereum Supply Locked Hits New ATH: Smart Money Bets On Long-Term Growth Market sentiment remains increasingly optimistic, fueled by strong fundamentals and signs of institutional accumulation. According to on-chain data, SharpLink Gaming—one of the first Nasdaq-listed companies to develop a treasury strategy centered on Ethereum—purchased another $73,210,000 worth of ETH yesterday. This marks another strong signal that smart money is confident in Ethereum’s long-term value. As the crypto market awaits key developments from US regulators during “Crypto Week,” Ethereum’s price action and on-chain indicators remain aligned with a bullish outlook. If ETH can hold current levels and build momentum, the path toward $3,500 becomes increasingly realistic. With rising institutional demand and strong network fundamentals—including record ETH staking—Ethereum appears well-positioned to lead the next phase of the altcoin market rally. SharpLink Becomes Largest Public ETH Holder With $611M in Ethereum SharpLink Gaming has officially become the largest publicly known holder of Ethereum, with total holdings now reaching 205,634 ETH, valued at approximately $611 million. This milestone positions the Nasdaq-listed company at the forefront of institutional Ethereum adoption, setting a new benchmark for corporate treasury strategies in the crypto space. Top analyst Ted Pillows confirmed the latest purchase through on-chain data, revealing that the transaction originated from a Coinbase Prime hot wallet, commonly used by institutions for large-scale acquisitions. This move signals increasing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value, particularly as companies begin diversifying beyond Bitcoin to gain exposure to smart contract infrastructure. Ethereum’s technical setup remains strong, with price holding well above the $2,850 support zone following its recent move to $3,080. At the same time, fundamentals continue to improve. The ETH supply staked has reached new all-time highs, indicating that more long-term holders are locking up their assets rather than selling into strength. Combined with increased institutional interest, this reflects growing conviction in Ethereum’s role as a foundational layer for Web3. The coming weeks promise to be pivotal. With market sentiment turning bullish and Ethereum gaining traction in corporate circles, the stage is set for a sustained upward move, especially if broader macro and regulatory conditions remain favorable.

ETH Holds Above Key Breakout Zone Ethereum’s 3-day chart shows a bullish continuation pattern, with price currently holding at $2,978 after recently breaking through a critical resistance zone at $2,850. The breakout marked a shift in momentum following a prolonged consolidation phase and pushed ETH to a local high of $3,041.41. Although a slight retracement followed, the current structure remains strong as bulls successfully defend the $2,850–$2,900 area. This level is particularly important as it aligns with multiple technical indicators. The 200-day simple moving average (SMA) sits at $2,805.46, now acting as dynamic support. ETH also remains well above the 50-day and 100-day SMAs, currently at $2,244.80 and $2,661.68, confirming that the broader trend has turned bullish.

Ethereum has broken through the key resistance level that had capped its upside for weeks. After a period of consolidation, ETH gained momentum with higher targets on the table and bullish sentiment starting to build. This breakout may mark the beginning of the next bullish momentum, as technical signals point toward further upside. Bullish Structure Builds Above Key Support Levels An analyst known as LSplayQ reported on X that the Ethereum price has recently completed a rounded bottom formation on the 1-day chart, signaling a long-term trend reversal, and shifting the market sentiment from bearish to bullish. Related Reading: Ethereum Shorts Reach Record Levels, How To Stay Positioned For A Breakout Following this information, the ETH price has entered a consolidation phase, forming a tight range just below the $2,880 resistance level. This phase of sideways movement suggests a pause as the market digests recent gains. Ethereum has successfully broken above the $2,880 resistance, while confirming a bullish breakout. This breakout marks the beginning of a fresh upward trend and reinforces the bullish reversal signaled by the rounded bottom. With the breakout confirmed, ETH price is poised to rally toward the 0.618 Fibonacci extension level at $3,588. This target represents an approximate 17% upside from the current price and is often considered a key resistance area where profit-taking or further acceleration could occur. However, if ETH encounters bearish pressure, the price could retrace to the 0.236 Fibonacci level at $2,613. The 0 Fibonacci level at $2,883 will then act as immediate short-term support, while holding above this level will be critical to maintaining the bullish momentum and avoiding a deeper pullback. Crypto analyst TheVALTOR has also revealed that Ethereum has broken the $2,850. This breakout has validated the blue alternative scenario, which had projected a more aggressive bullish path based on the wave count dynamics. Furthermore, the chart shows the completion of an extended red micro wave 3, which is typically the dynamic and impulsive wave within the five-wave sequence. The ETH price is currently in a correction phase and forming wave 4, which TheVALTOR expected to unfold as a sideways consolidation rather than a sharp pullback. Consolidation Zone Tightens Below $3,000 The Ethereum 1-hour chart shows an uptrend in recent hours with a minor pullback. According to Gemxbt on X, this retracement has helped establish strong intraday support around $2,950, the level that buyers are defending with conviction. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Fails to Hold Momentum Above $3K — Correction Ahead? The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits in neutral territory, signaling balanced momentum that ETH is neither overbought nor oversold. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has flashed a bearish crossover, which may indicate short-term weakness or a period of consolidation before the next decisive move. The key resistance sits at $3,000, which could be a critical level for bullish continuation. This level represents a key psychological threshold that also aligns with previous local highs.

A new weekly “On Chain” report from Bank of America is shining a spotlight on Ethereum. According to the report, the network is set to draw steady interest from stablecoin investors as lawmakers in Washington take up crypto bills in Congress. Ethereum’s role as the home for over 50% of all dollar‑pegged coins has caught the eyes of big banks and asset managers alike. Related Reading: XRP To Hit $4 This Week? This Crypto Expert Thinks So Stablecoin Legislation Under The Lens Based on reports, this week’s Crypto Week in the US House of Representatives could reshape the stablecoin sector. Lawmakers are debating three major bills: the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti‑CBDC Surveillance bill. House Financial Services Chair French Hill told a “Think Crypto” podcast that dollar‑backed coins would solidify the US dollar’s global lead. If Congress backs clear rules, the rails that already carry the most volumes could see fresh inflows. BofA launches new weekly periodical ‘On Chain,’ designed to “drill into the various facets of the fast-evolving digital assets ecosystem.” First call: Bullish ETH pic.twitter.com/sERRZiTgMq — matthew sigel, recovering CFA (@matthew_sigel) July 14, 2025 Rails For The Future Bank of America called out infrastructure providers like Stripe and the Ethereum network as prime plays for anyone looking to get stablecoin exposure. That nod isn’t just for the token itself. It’s a bet on the whole stack—wallets, apps and payment tools that ride on Ethereum’s code. Investors who pick up Ether now could tap growing on‑chain activity as stablecoin use climbs. Institutions Bet On Ether The report also mentioned Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicting that the dollar‑pegged stablecoin market may swell to $2 trillion in the next five years. That forecast has fund managers circling the charts. Thomas Lee, Fundstart CIO and new chairman of BitMine, even dubbed stablecoins the “ChatGPT of crypto.” His firm now holds Ether in its treasury. The move shows how big players are gearing up for a stablecoin surge on Ethereum. Related Reading: Avalanche Shatters Record With 20M Transactions—Is Real-World Use Finally Here? Other sectors are racing alongside stablecoins. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said tokenization could expand 4,000 times over time. He sees on‑chain assets tied to real‑world items booming soon. Some say XRP and Ether are the go‑to tokens for that play. But Ethereum already has the advantage of scale. It isn’t all smooth sailing. Regulation could tighten or split along different chains. New networks chase faster speeds and lower fees. That competition could chip away at Ethereum’s lead. Still, the network’s mix of smart‑contract tools and high stablecoin volumes gives it a strong head start. For now, plenty of eyes are on Congress and on‑chain data. If US lawmakers set clear stablecoin rules, Ethereum may keep its crown as the top hub. Investors looking for exposure will likely track Ether flows and watch the bills as they move through committee. The weeks ahead could spell out the next big chapter for the network.

Crypto markets are heating up, and all signs point to the start of a full-blown altcoin season. With Bitcoin holding above its all-time highs and money rotating into smaller-cap tokens, traders are witnessing a shift in momentum. Ethereum is outperforming Bitcoin, the Altseason Index is flashing early signals, and Bitcoin dominance is weakening, all classic …
As the Ethereum price has broken out above $3,000, the shorts have piled on with expectations that this rally will end up like the others before it: in a crash. Not only have the shorts been dominating the market recently, but the exponential growth has seen the short positions rise to levels never before seen in the history of the digital asset. While this might look bearish at a glance as it means traders expect the price to decline, it could actually end up being ultra-bullish for the altcoin. Ethereum Leverage Positions Reach Record Short Levels In a post on X, market expert Zerohedge revealed an interesting development for Ethereum, and that is the fact that Ethereum shorts have now reached new records. The chart showed the Ether leveraged net totals, and it came out to a -13291, beating the previous high that was set back in May at -12000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Not Stopping At $123,000 — Technical Indicators Point To $140,000 Top This rise in Ethereum shorts proves that there is still a lot of disbelief in the current market rally, and many traders expect the Ethereum price to fall again. However, looking at the historical performance when it comes to shorts reaching record levels, it shows a trend that this could mean the rally could be sustained. For example, back in May 2025, when it set its previous peak of -12000, the Ethereum price had rallied from below $1,800 to above $2,600 before the month was over. This trend is also playing out now as the Ethereum price has crossed $3,000, as the Ether shorts have reached a new peak. How To Stay Positioned For ETH Given that the Ethereum price seems to be headed into what might be a parabolic rally after clearing $3,000, crypto analyst Luca on X has outlined how they intend to position for the surge. Luca explains that with the new week, the Ethereum price is at a key point. This is because it is approaching the 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement level, and this level is important because it has been a point of consolidation for the altcoin in the past. Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst As such, the analyst explains that he intends to keep holding his positions on Ethereum. So far, Luca revealed that he has only de-risked Bitcoin positions as the pioneer cryptocurrency has hit all-time highs, but as the end of the cycle draws closer, the focus remains on altcoins. He maintains that the Ethereum price, alongside altcoins, will end up outperforming Bitcoin once the dominance drops. When this dominance drop happens, the analyst says that is when to begin de-risking altcoin positions. For now, though, the analyst expects Ethereum and altcoins to keep trailing Bitcoin as the dominance still remains high above 64% and BTC is yet to enter its distribution phase.

Ethereum has broken out above the $3,000 level, reaching its highest price since late January and signaling a strong resurgence in momentum. The move comes as Bitcoin continues to set new all-time highs, injecting renewed optimism into the broader crypto market. This week could prove pivotal, with the arrival of “Crypto Week” in the US Congress, when lawmakers will debate and potentially vote on critical legislation shaping the future of digital assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Remain Steady As CDD Normalizes After False Alarm Amid this renewed bullish backdrop, on-chain fundamentals are strengthening. Top analyst Ted Pillows shared data showing that the supply of ETH staked has just reached a new all-time high. This milestone reflects growing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term prospects, with more investors locking up their assets to secure the network and earn yield, rather than sell into strength. The surge in price and staking activity suggests a shift in sentiment as Ethereum regains its position as a core asset in institutional and retail portfolios. With macro and regulatory catalysts converging this week, ETH could be on the verge of a major breakout, especially if legislative clarity and Bitcoin’s momentum continue to drive capital into high-conviction assets like Ethereum. Ethereum Leads Altcoin Revival: Strong Fundamentals And Technical Momentum Ethereum is showing renewed bullish strength, acting as a key driver in the broader altcoin market recovery. After a prolonged consolidation phase that lasted several months, ETH has finally broken above the critical $3,000 mark, setting a new bullish structure and signaling the start of a potential macro uptrend. The recent price action has energized sentiment across the market, with many altcoins beginning to follow Ethereum’s lead. Fundamentally, Ethereum remains one of the strongest assets in the space. According to on-chain data by Ted Pillows, the percentage of ETH supply staked has reached a new all-time high of 29.44%. This metric is critical, as it reflects growing long-term conviction from large holders and smart money. When ETH is staked, it is locked up and cannot be sold, suggesting that investors expect higher prices and are committed to holding through volatility. All eyes are now on the key resistance zone between $3,500 and $3,600. If Ethereum manages to push through this area with conviction, it could trigger a broader breakout across the altcoin market. Many traders are closely watching this level as a catalyst for an explosive altcoin rally, fueled by increased capital rotation and technical momentum. A decisive break above resistance could validate the new bullish structure and mark the beginning of the next major expansion phase for ETH and the altcoin market at large.
