Ethereum Price Analysis: After a significant surge on Monday, Ethereum traded sideways for the remainder of the week. This lo of momentum was likely due to the realization that ETF issuers must wait for the approval of their S-1 registration statements before trading can begin, which could take several weeks or even months. Currently, the ETH price is stabilizing above $3600, preparing for its next move.

The second half of May has been strongly bullish for the Ethereum coin showcasing a price rally from $2860 to $3862 registering a 35% jump. This rally was initially triggered by Bitcoin uplifting the broader market sentiment but later witnessed higher momentum as US Sec approved spot Ethereum ETFs.

James Seyffart, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, has projected that the demand for spot Ethereum ETFs could reach between 20% to 25% of the demand observed for spot Bitcoin ETFs. His analysis takes into account the current market size of Ethereum, which stands at approximately 30% of Bitcoin’s market size. 


Seyffart also highlighted some inherent limitations in Ethereum ETFs, including the inability to stake tokens and the lack of on-chain utility that could be leveraged through such financial products. 

Thus, the ETH price witnessed high volatility this week wavering above the $3600 level. If the support holds, the buyers are likely to challenge the $4090 resistance, in the coming week or two.

A potential breakout will accelerate the bullish momentum and chase a potential target of $4500, followed by $4900.
