Cryptocurrency's Ethereum price inches closer to $4,000, boosted by an altcoin rally, burgeoning staking demand, and a bullish pennant pattern.
Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is showing signs of a potential significant breakout, according to analysts. The digital asset has been making headlines due to its impressive performance and growing institutional interest.
Last week, Ethereum reached an all-time high of $3,718 on August 7 [1]. This surge was accompanied by a surge in transaction volume, with Ethereum processing 1.87 million daily transactions, its second-highest in history [2]. DeFi activity on platforms like Uniswap and stablecoin transactions, primarily USDC and Tether, contributed to this high volume [2].
Analysts predict that Ethereum could decisively break above $4,100, potentially pushing prices toward $5,000 before the end of the year [1]. This bullish outlook is backed by several technical chart patterns, including a bullish pennant formation that could propel Ethereum toward $4,000 if confirmed [1]. Additionally, a "golden cross" has recently occurred, which historically has been a strong bullish signal [2].
The momentum is further supported by positive technical indicators such as a rising 50-day EMA, a positive MACD, and a stabilized RSI near 60, which point to sustained investor confidence [2]. Institutional demand is a significant factor supporting these bullish expectations. Large buyers, likely institutions, have been accumulating substantial amounts of ETH, bolstering price stability and upward momentum [3].
Furthermore, Wall Street's increasing interest, especially in Ethereum-based spot ETFs, adds further impetus to ETH's price rally [5]. ETH ETFs have recorded 19 consecutive days of net inflows [6]. The U.S. GENIUS Act, which provided regulatory clarity for stablecoins, potentially leading to greater adoption and institutional investment, has also played a role [6].
Looking ahead to 2025, predictions for Ethereum price reflect a bullish outlook. Analysts forecast ETH to reach up to $5,500 by the end of August 2025, potentially breaking previous resistance levels around $4,800 [1][3]. However, short-term challenges include rising profit-taking and sell pressure that have led to intermittent corrections [4]. The critical support level to watch is $4,000—if this holds, bullish momentum may resume; if it breaks, Ethereum could see further downside before rebounding [4].
In summary, the combination of bullish chart patterns, strong institutional accumulation, and growing institutional demand supports the expectation that Ethereum could challenge new all-time highs above $5,000 in the near term [1][2][5]. However, the $4,000 support level remains key for maintaining this bullish trajectory [4].
