Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area as price nears its 2021 all-time high (ATH). However, an analyst suggested that this week’s performance will be key for the long-awaited price discovery rally. Related Reading: SUI Set Up For Another Leg? Analyst Forecasts $10 Target For Potential Breakout Ethereum Eyes Last Major Resistance Over the past week, Ethereum has had a remarkable performance, jumping nearly 30% to a multi-year high of $4,750 on Wednesday afternoon, just 3.3% away from its ATH of $4,848, recorded in November 2021. Notably, the King of Altcoins has seen a 40% recovery from the start-of-month pullback, finally breaking from its local range and reclaiming the crucial $4,000 barrier last Friday. Since then, ETH has continued to soar, reclaiming the $4,400-$4,500 area on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency has been hovering between $4,600-$4,750 throughout the day, while attempting to break out of this range to potentially tackle “the final boss” of resistance around the $4,800 area. Analyst Rekt Capital discussed ETH’s recent performance, highlighting that it had successfully broken out of its multi-year resistance and turned it into support after its post-breakout retest at the start of the month, which has enabled the current move to the final Macro Range, between $3,762 and $4,631, that could precede new highs. However, he noted that the altcoin’s price “historically upside wicked beyond this final major Weekly/Monthly resistance for 3 straight weeks in a row” last cycle. As the analyst explained, in late 2021, Ethereum was rejected from the $4,631 resistance after hitting its ATH and attempting to turn it into support in the weekly timeframe, which was followed by an 80% retracement. This suggests that “how ETH treats $4,631 over the coming days will be pivotal” for the cryptocurrency’s upcoming performance, as it could potentially hit a new ATH but get ultimately rejected. Therefore, weekly closing above the Macro Range breakout level is crucial to “go against the grain of history.” Is A Rejection Next? Holding the $4,630 mark on the first attempt “would be a huge signal of strength,” the analyst asserted, but warned that “more often than not, price tends to get rejected but in a shallower manner.” If Ethereum fails to reclaim this level, the King of Altcoins could see an 18% drop to the Macro Range lows, around the $3,762 support, which would fulfill a key recently opened CME Gap on ETH’s chart. The Weekly CME gap, created this week, sits between the $4,091-$4,261 area, leading Rekt Capital to suggest that a more volatile retest of the CME gap could briefly send the price to the Macro Range lows. Meanwhile, if Ethereum reclaims the final major weekly resistance as support, ETH’s price discovery rally above the $5,000 mark will be next.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says there are still four catalysts the market hasn't fully priced in which could push prices substantially higher.
Bitcoin options markets are showing a low volatility expectation, something that has actually preceded sharp price action in the past. Bitcoin Options ATM IV Has Been Going Down Recently In its latest weekly report, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Options At-The-Money Implied Volatility. Implied Volatility (IV) refers to an indicator that measures how volatile BTC is expected to be in the future, based on the pricing of Options contracts. At-The-Money (ATM) IV, the version of the metric of interest here, specifically calculates this expectation for the contracts that have their strike price closest to the asset’s current spot price. The “strike price” is the predetermined price at which the holder of an options contract can choose to buy (in the case of a call or bullish bet) or sell (put or bearish bet) the underlying asset. Related Reading: Ethereum Retail Mood Still Bearish: Perfect Setup For ATH Break? Now, here is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Options ATM IV for all expiry timeframes: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Options ATM IV has been following a downtrend since a while now, indicating the traders aren’t expecting near-term volatility. If the past is anything to go by, though, BTC could go against these traders. “Historically, such subdued volatility expectations have often preceded sharp market moves, making them a potential contrarian indicator,” explains Glassnode. From the chart, it’s visible that such a contraction in Bitcoin Options ATM IV also occurred back in 2023 and what followed back then was a bull rally for the cryptocurrency. It now remains to be seen whether volatility in either direction would also follow this compression. Related Reading: XRP To $12? Analyst Reveals Bold Target From Multi-Year Pattern ATM contracts aren’t the only one expecting low volatility. According to the report, Deribit‘s DVOL index, which tracks a 30-day IV measure for all strike prices, has dropped to historically low levels recently. As is apparent in the chart, the Bitcoin DVOL has been going down in the last few months. The index is currently at lows so extreme that only 2.6% of trading days have witnessed a lower value. The analytics firm explains: Such levels often reflect market complacency and limited demand for hedging against large moves. While these conditions can persist, they leave the market exposed to sudden volatility spikes if a catalyst emerges, as past cycles have shown through sharp, disorderly price swings when risk is rapidly repriced. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $121,600, up 5% over the last week. Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, chart from TradingView.com

On Monday, ALT5 Sigma, a fintech company specializing in blockchain infrastructure, unveiled plans to establish a crypto treasury focusing on the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project—a venture backed by the Trump family. The announcement, however, was met with a swift and negative reaction from investors, resulting in a significant drop in the company’s stock price. First Crypto Treasury Focusing On World Liberty Financial ALT5 Sigma, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker name “ATLS”, aims to raise $1.5 billion to become the first publicly traded company to hold WLFI, the governance token associated with World Liberty Financial. In a press release dated August 11, the company disclosed that it plans to raise these funds through a registered direct offering and a private placement, which will involve selling up to 100 million shares at a price of $7.50 each. Related Reading: Analyst Says What Happened With Bitcoin Is About To Happen With XRP Notably, the private placement will be conducted using WLFI tokens, which are currently non-transferable and will be treated as an over-the-counter (OTC) transaction. In its regulatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), ALT5 Sigma stated that acquiring WLFI directly from World Liberty Financial is currently the only option, as the tokens remain locked and cannot be traded. The filing also warned that if the company fails to acquire the tokens on favorable terms or at all, it may impair its ability to execute its digital asset treasury strategy, potentially requiring a reallocation of assets within the treasury. ALT5 Sigma Shares Plunge 26% Prior to the announcement with World Liberty Financial, ALT5 Sigma’s shares had been performing well, nearing $20 in pre-market trading and more than doubling in value. However, the news of the treasury plans reversed this momentum dramatically. By the close of trading on Monday, shares had plummeted by 26.42%, settling at $6.60. As of the latest reports, ALT5’s stock continues to hover around $6, reflecting a decline of about 10% over the past week. With the treasury acquisition, Zach Witkoff, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, is set to become ALT5’s chairman. Eric Trump, another WLFI co-founder, will join the board as a director. Additionally, Zak Folkman, also a co-founder, will serve as a board observer, while Matt Morgan, CEO of Blockstreet, will take on the role of chief investment officer. Related Reading: Ethereum Retail Mood Still Bearish: Perfect Setup For ATH Break? It’s important to note that the WLFI token, designed as a non-tradeable governance token, was launched in October 2024, with a subsequent announcement of a USD1 stablecoin in March. In mid-July, World Liberty Financial holders voted to allow the token to become tradable, facilitating peer-to-peer transactions and secondary market activity. However, for now, the movement of tokens remains limited, with trade eligibility constrained to a select group of early supporters. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
