Why Is Ethereum Price Surging Today?

Defying the broader crypto market correction, Ethereum price witnessed 4% gains, surging all the way to $2,850 levels. Despite recent underperformance, institutional interest in ETH remains strong, with the CBOE Exchange filing for options trading on a spot Ethereum ETF this Wednesday. Market analysts are now watching closely to see if the ETH surge will continue and break past the $3,000 mark once again

Will the Ethereum Price Rally Sustain?

Ethereum price is showing strength once again after collapsing all the way under $2,450 levels earlier this week. Despite its severe underperformance and 20% drop over the past month, market analysts still continue to be bullish on ETH.

Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez believes that if Ethereum price manages to hold support above $2,500, it could stage a significant rebound, potentially climbing toward $4,000 or even $6,000. However, he warned that failure to maintain the $2,500 level could result in a sharp decline, with $1,700 as the next target.

On the upside, ETH price needs to break past the $4,00o level to trigger a further rally to $7,000 and even higher to $10,000.

Ethereum to See a Bitcoin-Like Breakout?

Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto has predicted a significant price move for Ethereum (ETH), citing similarities between its current market structure and Bitcoin’s setup before a major breakout in its previous cycle.

“The current structure of Ethereum suggests an explosive breakout could be imminent,” the analyst noted in a post on social media. Traders are watching Ethereum closely as the asset’s technical setup fuels speculation about a potential rally in the near future.

As of press time, Ethereum price is trading 2.5% up at $2,834, with its daily trading volume dropping 30% to $30.29 billion. Furthermore, the Ethereum open interest has also surged 4%, moving past $25 billion, while the 24-hour liquidation has surged to $37.68 million with more than $20 million in short liquidations, as per the Coinglass data.

Ethereum ETF Demand Continues to Rise

The spot Ethereum ETF continues to be in demand recently, with BlackRock Ethereum ETF (ETHA) seeing a massive $276 million in inflows earlier this week on Tuesday. As a result, the total inflows in ETHA since inception have surged to $4.4 billion, showing strong institutional demand.

On the other hand, Cboe exchange filed for options trading of spot Ethereum ETF on Wednesday.
