Ethereum’s institutional narrative is strengthening as US-based Spot ETF trackers witnessed another week of inflows last week. BlackRock’s ETHA fund captured the majority of this activity with more than half a billion dollars in new investments, while other ETFs struggled with minor outflows. At the same time, technical patterns are aligning with this buying pressure, which has given many analysts confidence that the Ethereum price could be preparing to push towards its all-time high in the coming weeks.

Across all issuers in the US, Spot Ethereum ETFs added $556.92 million in inflows during the week, making it the second consecutive week of positive institutional inflows. Cumulative inflows since launch are now over $13.9 billion, and these ETFs now hold $29.64 billion worth of Ethereum. Interestingly, data from Farside Investor’s Spot ETF tracker reveal that the majority of last week’s institutional inflows went into BlackRock’s ETHA. The inflow numbers show that BlackRock’s ETHA product absorbed roughly $513 million in net inflows between September 15 and 19. The largest portion came on Monday with over $360 million, followed by another $140 million inflow as the week drew to a close on Friday, which was enough to offset corresponding outflows from every other issuer that day. This shows how investors continue to favor BlackRock’s offering as the primary gateway for regulated Ethereum exposure. Other issuers experienced a more mixed week. Fidelity’s FETH product posted sharp redemptions, most notably $53.4 million in outflows on Friday, September 19. However, these outflows were partially balanced by $159.4 million in inflows on Thursday. Bitwise and Grayscale also witnessed days of inflows, which was enough to cancel out minor outflows during the week. Spot Ethereum ETF Flows: Farside Investors Technical Analysis Points To $5,000 Another week of institutional inflow could set the stage for bullish price action in the new week, which in turn would certify a bullish monthly close for Ethereum in September. In fact, analyses from different analysts have looked at multiple bullish patterns forming across different timeframes on the Ethereum price chart. One particularly notable observation came from VasilyTrader on the TradingView platform, who highlighted encouraging signals on Ethereum’s shorter-term charts. His analysis of the 4-hour candlestick timeframe suggested that the recent pullback has now given way to a bullish confirmation.

The price of Ethereum had quite a rough performance over the past week, falling from its usual range above the $4,600 level to below $4,500. Despite the injection of bullish momentum into the market by the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut, the “king of altcoins” failed to sustain its rally back to the $4,600 region. According to the latest on-chain data, the Ethereum price could be gearing up for an even longer time in the cold, as investors seem to be turning away from the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The question, though, is how deep the price of ETH will fall in the coming weeks? ETH Price At Risk Of Return To $1,500? In a recent post on the social media platform X, pseudonymous crypto analyst Darkfost revealed that the Ethereum investors might be flooding out of the market at the moment. This observation is based on the recent downturn in the ETH Taker Buy-Sell Ratio on the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Not Reaching $10+ Due To Market Cap Is Irrelevant The Taker Buy-Sell Ratio is an on-chain indicator that compares the proportion of the taker buy volumes to the taker sell volumes on crypto exchanges. When the value of this metric is greater than one, it signals that the taker buy volume is higher than the taker sell volume on a crypto exchange. This trend typically points to the willingness of more traders to purchase coins at a higher value on the trading platform. Meanwhile, a less-than-one value for the Taker Buy-Sell Ratio typically means that the taker sell volume is higher than the taker buy volume on the exchange. Ultimately, this low value indicates that more sellers are offloading their assets at a lower price, precipitating bearish pressure in the market. According to data from CryptoQuant, the Ethereum Taker Buy-Sell Ratio fell below the 1 threshold to around 0.87 on Friday, September 19. This latest decline marked the third time this metric has fallen this low so far in 2025. As observed in the above chart, Darkfost noted that the indicator fell as low as 0.85 in January and February 2025. This ratio decline coincided with the bearish trend, during which the price of Ethereum fell to around the $1,500 region. As of the time of publishing their post on X, Darkfost revealed that the 7-day average of the Taker Buy-Sell Ratio stood at 0.93, which is still short of the 1 threshold. The on-chain analyst concluded that while the Ethereum price is looking to break above the $5,000 milestone, more investors seem to be increasingly betting against the altcoin’s rally. Although it is highly unlikely to see a downturn similar to the one in 2025’s first quarter, the latest on-chain events suggest that the price of ETH could still face some bearish pressure in the coming weeks. Ethereum Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of ETH stands at around $4,475, reflecting a mere 0.4% leap in the past 24 hours.

XRP grabbed fresh attention after two well-known chart analysts outlined bullish setups that could push the token much higher if the current momentum holds.

Ethereum remains one of the most controversial tokens in the present market cycle, considering its status as the second-largest cryptocurrency and largest altcoin by market cap. Notably, several analysts have consistently backed ETH to reach a five-digit price mark this cycle based on varying rationales. Popular analyst Ted Pillows has now shared a new historical perspective that supports this general bullish notion. Related Reading: Bitmine’s Ethereum Appetite Grows With Fresh $70 Million Buy Short-Term ETH Correction To Precede Major $10,000 Rally – Analyst In an X post on September 20, Pillows shared a technical analysis of the ETH market, which shows that the altcoin is consolidating just below its 2021 all-time high (ATH), indicating a price behavior that is potentially bullish based on historical data. Currently trading just below $4,500, Ethereum has been unable to hold decisively above its previous cycle peak of $4,878 set in November 2021. However, the present consolidation mirrors a similar setup from the last bull cycle. In 2021, ETH experienced a sharp 25% correction after retesting the 2017 ATH of $1,400, before resuming its meteoric climb to new highs above $4,800. In applying this pattern to today’s market, Ted Pillows states a comparable correction would send ETH back toward the $3,700–$3,800 zone. While such a price decline may unsettle short-term traders, the Pillows’ analysis suggests it is a necessary reset before Ethereum can stage a breakout. Once this corrective phase plays out, the market expert projects Ethereum to embark on a powerful rally to potentially reach $10,000 by early 2026, representing a potential 100% gain from current market levels.

This milestone underscores Ethereum’s dominance as the backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi), fueling liquidity and trading across the crypto ecosystem. Despite this achievement, Ethereum’s price has come under pressure in the past week alongside other crypto assets. The prominent is currently trading at $4,470, marking a 4.32% decline in the past 7 days. Meanwhile, daily trading volume is also down by 47.31% and valued at $17.1 billion. In a separate X post, Ted Pillows has also noted that if Ethereum fails to reclaim the $4,500 level, the next key support lies between $4,000 and $4,200. While this range will be crucial for maintaining bullish momentum, a deeper pullback to below $4,000 would still align with bullish historical behavior as earlier stated.

Cardano (ADA) prices have dropped by 3.49% in the past week, amidst a broader crypto market correction. The popular altcoin now trades near the $0.90 price region following this significant bearish activity. However, renowned market expert Ali Martinez has shared an audacious bullish theory that suggests Cardano may be preparing for a major upside swing. Related Reading: Pundit Predicts XRP Price Crash Below $3, Here’s Why ADA Price Structure Suggests Bullish Breakout Ahead, Analyst Says In a recent X post, Martinez provides some technical insight into the Cardano market, which highlights the potential for a significant price move based on historical price behavior and Fibonacci extension levels. Notably, Martinez’s analysis shows how ADA previously topped between the 1.000 and 1.272 Fibonacci extension in its last bull run and appears to be showing similar technical structure this time around. For context, the Fibonacci extension tool is widely used to identify possible price targets by mapping ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence against historical price action. In Cardano’s last cycle, ADA surged from lows near $0.018 in early 2020 to highs around $3.10 in 2021 as the cycle peak. At the time of writing, ADA is consolidating near the 0.618 extension level at $1.15. This zone has historically acted as both strong resistance and support, making it a critical battleground for bulls and bears. If ADA can decisively break above $1.15, Martinez’s projections suggest momentum could build toward higher Fibonacci extension targets, most notably in the $3-$6 range. Such a move would represent a substantial upside from current levels, with about a 200% gain alone required just to reach the $3 threshold that aligns with the 1.000 extension level. Meanwhile, achieving the upper end of the projection near $6 would put Cardano back in contention with its 2021 highs, which aligns with the 1.272 Fibonacci extension level. However, it’s worth noting that a rejection at $1.15 resistance level could force Cardano to lower levels at $0.62 (0.382 Fib) and $0.43 (0.236 Fib).

Meanwhile, recent on-chain data highlights significant whale movements, with over 530 million ADA ($472 million) offloaded within the past 72 hours, according to Ali Martinez. Such large-scale selling often indicates profit-taking or repositioning by major holders, adding to bearish sentiment. Despite this, ADA continues to rank as the 10th largest cryptocurrency with a total market cap of $32.03 billion. Featured image from Flickr, chart from Tradingview

Dogecoin is once again showing signs of history repeating itself, with its well-known 1-2 formation returning on the charts. After breaking out of its key $0.22–$0.24 channel, momentum is building as bullish signals align, hinting that the meme coin may be gearing up for another powerful move. Breakout From $0.22–$0.24 Marks End Of Consolidation Alpha Crypto Signal, in a recent update, revealed a significant development for Dogecoin, noting that the meme coin has successfully broken out of its long-standing horizontal channel. This channel, which had contained its price between $0.22 and $0.24 for an extended period, had been a key consolidation zone for the asset. This decisive breach of the range confirms a major shift in momentum and signals the end of a prolonged phase of stagnant price action. Related Reading: Dogecoin On Edge — 2.5 Days Remain To Lock In Breakout Springboard The validity of this breakout is further reinforced by a crucial technical indicator: rising volume. As Dogecoin pushed higher, the increased trading volume served as a powerful signal of conviction from the buyers. This strong backing indicates that the move was not a fleeting event but rather a genuine surge of interest, with significant capital flowing into the asset. Following its strong rally, Dogecoin is currently experiencing a healthy and expected pullback from the resistance zone between $0.29 and $0.30. However, this slight retreat is a positive and natural part of a strong uptrend, as it allows the market to consolidate and prevents the rally from becoming overheated. According to the expert, this pullback is presenting a strategic opportunity for traders. Alpha Crypto Signal suggests that any retest of the breakout level, specifically the $0.24 to $0.25 zone, could offer a solid long opportunity. As long as Dogecoin can hold above this crucial zone and maintain its overall bullish structure, the positive momentum from the breakout is expected to continue. Dogecoin Pattern Repeats: History Points To Another Pump In a recent post on X, crypto analyst CryptoELlTES has revealed a compelling observation about Dogecoin’s price history. He asserts that a specific technical pattern is repeating itself on the chart, one that has consistently preceded every major Dogecoin pump in the past. This historical correlation suggests that the current setup is highly significant. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ready To Bark Again?

Over the past week, the Bitcoin market experienced significant volatile price action, resulting in a net price loss of 0.07%. Notably, the crypto market leader initially surged to $118,000 as bullish sentiments rose after the US Federal Reserve announced the first interest rate cut of 2025. However, Bitcoin has since retraced to around $115,700 in the past 24 hours, as transaction activity cooled off. In studying the asset’s price structure, a popular market analyst with the X username KillaXBT has highlighted two important price levels. Related Reading: Countdown To ‘Bitcoin Bottom Day’: Why September 21 Could Change Everything Bitcoin’s Weekly Open Faces Pressure Amid Daily Imbalance Threat In an X post on September 19, KillaXBT shares a vital cautionary insight on the present Bitcoin market, identifying two support zones in danger. Notably, as of the latest session, BTC has retested its weekly open at $115,219, a level that has served as a key pivot point for both bulls and bears. Holding above this threshold would be a strong sign of strength, while a decisive move lower could tilt market sentiment bearish. However, there is also a heavy focus on a daily fair value gap extending down to $113,355, highlighted on the charts as an area of imbalance left behind by rapid price action. KillaXBT explains that losing the weekly open would likely trigger a price decline to $113,355 because such inefficiencies eventually get filled, as price retraces into the zone to rebalance order flow. However, there is also the presence of the previous wick low at $114,367, which currently sits just above the FVG zone. This intermediate support may act as a buffer before any deeper probe toward the $113,355 mark. According to KillaXBT, Bitcoin price holding above the weekly open and FVG price zone is critical for price action going into the next week. A successful price defence at these levels could result in a reclaim of $118,000 claim and potentially the present ATH at $124,000. Meanwhile, a decisive price fall below $113,355 would expose the premier cryptocurrency to downside targets around $112,000, $110,000, and $108,000.

While tokens like XRP dominate headlines amid rising ETF approval speculations, the Cardano price is also gaining attention as market conditions slowly recover from bearish trends. New data from Changelly, a crypto exchange, has suggested that Cardano could be gearing up for a massive breakout. The big question now is whether the cryptocurrency has the momentum to reach a $100 milestone. Why A $100 Cardano Price Remains A Distant Goal Cardano’s price action has generated significant interest in recent months, as analysts from Changelly attempt to project its next big move. According to their forecasts, ADA remains a relatively low-priced cryptocurrency compared to some of its altcoin rivals like XRP, with projections pointing to modest gains in the near term and a potential surge above $100 by 2040. Related Reading: Bitmine’s Ethereum Appetite Grows With Fresh $70 Million Buy Changelly’s outlook for 2025 suggests a trading range between $0.77 and $0.97, with the average price stabilizing around $1.17. These numbers highlight a steady upward trend but remain far from the speculative $100 level. Breaking this down further, experts from the crypto platform project that in September 2025, ADA could fluctuate between $0.891 and $0.924, averaging near $0.908. By October 2025, expectations widen slightly, with potential movement between $0.88 and $1.17. November’s outlook places the Cardano price between $0.77 and $1.05, averaging around $0.91, while December 2025 suggests values between $0.807 and $0.87. Taken together, these estimates show that ADA is likely to continue strengthening its price floor while maintaining realistic, incremental growth rather than explosive parabolic moves. From this perspective, a $100 Cardano price seems improbable within the near or mid-term future. However, in the long-term, Changelly predicts that ADA could exceed the $100 target to reach $116.83 by February 2040. The maximum price for that month has also been set at $132.72. Cardano’s Price Action While Changelly’s technical analysis provides insight into potential short-term price movements, Cardano’s long-term story is deeply rooted in its fundamentals. At present, the cryptocurrency trades around $0.91 with a circulating supply of over 35.7 billion ADA, giving it a market capitalization of approximately $32 billion. ADA has displayed steady momentum in the last week, climbing 1.48% and nearly 6% over the past month. According to Changelly, this growth signals that Cardano still commands a solid market presence, reinforcing its potential for a breakout soon. Although the cryptocurrency has dipped by over $0.01 in the past 24 hours, Changelly points out that recent trading activity has turned notably bullish for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T?

Still, Changelly notes that ADA is showing great potential lately, suggesting that its current price level could be a good buying opportunity for investors.

Prominent market analyst Ali Martinez has outlined some bullish insights on the Chainlink market regarding short-term price action. This development comes amid a rather volatile moment as LINK prices have declined by almost 5% in the past day following a double price rejection at the $24.80 region. Related Reading: Chainlink Primed For Takeoff: Liquidity Sweep Strengthens Bullish Outlook LINK Bulls Face Key Test At $25 Before Potential Run To $30 In an X post on September 19, Martinez shares an in-depth technical analysis highlighting that Chainlink (LINK) is approaching a decisive moment, having previously tested the $25 resistance zone, a price point crucial to the next bullish leg of the altcoin. Notably, Martinez’s analysis also suggests that LINK is consolidating within a symmetrical triangle, with volatility compressing ahead of what could be a significant breakout. At press time, LINK trades around $23.60, just below the crucial $24.80–$25 zone, which aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. The renowned analyst notes that clearing this barrier could unlock the path toward $27.85, the 1.0 Fibonacci extension, before LINK sets its sights on the $30.12 target (1.272 Fibonacci level). Beyond that, the altcoin could also seize a potential move toward $31.39, if bullish momentum continues. Meanwhile, the symmetrical triangle pattern indicates a period of indecision between buyers and sellers, but as the price action coils tighter near the apex, the likelihood of a breakout increases. If current market demand intensifies under this condition, the $25 breakout could act as the ignition point for a larger rally. However, failure to breach resistance could send LINK back to lower support levels around $23.30 (0.382 Fib) before attempting another breakout. In a bearish case, LINK could break below the symmetrical triangle, with potential support zones set around or even $22.30 (0.236 Fib) or $20.85 (0). Related Reading: MetaMask’s Long-Rumored Token May Arrive ‘Sooner Than Expected’, CEO Says Chainlink Market Overview At the time of writing, Chainlink continues to trade at $23.61 after a price decline of 6.02% in the last seven days.

Meanwhile, recent information shared by Coin Bureau indicates Chainlink ($LINK) may be on the verge of a supply shock as exchange balances have dropped to their lowest levels since 2022. This sharp decline signals that holders are moving coins off exchanges, reducing immediate sell pressure and tightening available supply. At the same time, Martinez also reports that whale activity has surged, with nearly 2 million LINK accumulated in the last 48 hours, underscoring strong confidence from large investors. The combination of reduced exchange liquidity and aggressive whale accumulation is often a precursor to a sharp, significant rally, as demand outpaces available supply.
