Highlights
Ethereum’s native crypto ETH is yet to participate in the altcoin market rally while peers like XRP, Cardano (ADA), BNB, have witnessed strong gains. The ETH price is holding firm at around $3,700 as investors predicted an immediate rally to $4,000 as Ethereum ETF inflows have surged once again.
While Ethereum has not witnessed a rally this altcoin season in comparison to peers like XRP, ADA, and BNB, the bulls have defended the strong ETH support levels.
Crypto analyst IncomeSharks noted that Ethereum’s daily support remains intact, reinforcing confidence in holding positions entered earlier. “I wouldn’t chase ETH at this level, but for now, daily support is holding,” noted the analyst.
The analyst emphasized a commitment to on-chain utility plays and set a downside threshold at $3,200, indicating that a drop below this level would trigger an Ethereum sell-off. On the upside, IncomeSharks maintains a target of $4,000 or higher for Ethereum in the near term.
On the multi-year chart, ETH price has also formed a giant cup-and-handle pattern since November 2021. However, Ethereum first needs to confirm its breakout above $3,800, which will set the stage for explosive growth ahead. Analysts estimate a price target of $7,346 based on the pattern’s historical reliability in forecasting significant gains.
As of press time, ETH price is trading 2.15% up at $3688.51 with a market cap of $444 billion. Ethereum’s on-chain volume surged to $183.7 billion in November, marking its highest monthly total since early 2021 and a 9% increase over the previous yearly peak in March.
This growth highlights a significant capital rotation into on-chain activities, driven partly by a revival in Ethereum-based NFT trading. Ethereum-based NFT marketplaces recorded their highest volumes since June.
The inflows into spot Ethereum ETF remain strong showing a surge again on Tuesday, December 3. After Monday’s $24 million in inflows, the net inflows on Tuesday surged to $132 million led by Fidelity’s FETH and BlackRock’s ETHA.
FETH recorded net inflows of $73.7 million while ETHA saw inflows of more than $65.3 million. The positive factor was that the outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE dropped significantly to $6.4 million, from more than $44.3 million, the day before., per the data from Farside Investors.
The BlackRock Ethereum ETF has already crossed $2.2 billion in inflows since inception while Fidelity’s FETH is just short of hitting the $1 billion milestone. Last Friday, the daily inflows in Ether ETFs also surpassed that of Bitcoin ETF daily inflows. This has become catalyst for a recent jump in ETH price.
