Ethereum Price: Here’s Why ETH Is Bullish This Week 

Highlights

  • The ETH/BTC is moving above the 365 simple moving average eyeing bullish move before spot Ethereum ETF.
  • Analyst suggest the altcoin bull market would accelerate if ETH breaks through the 0.06 BTC level.
  • The upcoming spot Ethereum ETF launch in the US is seen as a major catalyst for ETH price rally.

Alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum has faced selling pressure, falling below $3,400. Despite a 3.5% weekly drop compared to Bitcoin’s 5.8% decline, ETH has been holding up relatively well against BTC. Technical charts indicate that the ETH/BTC pair is on the brink of a major breakout, coinciding with the upcoming launch of the spot Ethereum ETF next week.

ETH Price to Rally with Spot Ethereum ETF Approval?

Crypto market analyst Ali Martinez showed that ETH/BTC is finally moving above the 365 simple moving average. This development shows an early sign of the impending altcoins season going ahead.

Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe also shared a similar view stating that the bull market has already begun and would gain significant momentum if the Ethereum price breaks through the 0.06 BTC level.

On breaking these key levels, Poppe expects a significant influx of capital into the Ethereum ecosystem. The launch of the spot Ethereum ETF next week in the US could prove to be a major catalyst in this direction.

Poppe added that the Ethereum ETF remains the most undervalued and underhyped event of the year. He added that, unlike the Bitcoin ETF, there is not the same excitement with the Ethereum ETF approval. “The Ethereum ETF is basically everything in reversal. Zero expectations, zero hype, and if there is any expectation” wrote Poppe.

Poppe stated that although the Ether ETF is likely to attract fewer inflows in comparison to the Bitcoin ETF, it can have a significantly greater impact “as the stock-to-flow of Ethereum is less than that of Bitcoin due to the huge amount of staked Ether and the deflationary concept of Ethereum”.

Entire Ether Ecosystem to Benefit

Poppe believes that as the ETH/BTC price pushes higher, the entire Ethereum ecosystem would benefit out of it, driving more usage, liquidity, and developers towards it.

Popper further explained that altcoin cycles typically show a weaker performance during the first half of the year. However, from June onwards, the cycle would reverse and momentum would build in favor of the altcoins presenting opportunities for greater returns.
