Ethereum (ETH) Set For Glorious Year, Analyst Eyes $10,000 Target

Ethereum (ETH) saw a significant upswing at the end of May due to the rumors of a spot ETH ETF (Exchange-Traded Funds) approval in the US. This bullish momentum propelled the tokens price from the $3,000 price range to the $3,900 mark. Related Reading: Solana-Based GameStop Tribute Token (GME) Soars 300% Following Roaring Kittys Return After the approval, the second-largest cryptocurrency has shown a strong performance, consolidating between the $3,700 and $3,800 levels. Some crypto analysts believe ETH is preparing for a crucial test and eye bullish targets above the $10,000 price range soon. ETHs Glorious Year Depends On This Level According to crypto analyst Jelle, a community sector is currently driven by a negative sentiment towards Ethereum. The bearish sentiment, seemingly fueled by Ethereums failure to regain the $4,000 resistance level, has made lots of people overcomplicate things here. As a result, Jelle urged investors not to panic, arguing theres no reason to flip bearish. The crypto analyst highlighted the key movements the King of Altcoins has seen in the past two weeks. Due to the spot ETH ETF approval, Ethereum broke out of a multi-moth falling wedge pattern. At the time, ETH successfully regained the $3,600 price range and briefly tested the $3,900 price range. After reclaiming this key support level, ETH has been consolidating above it, hovering between the $3,700 and $3,800 price range since May 28. According to the analyst, the cryptocurrency is reclaiming the range lows of a 3-year-long reaccumulation range. Per Jelles chart, ETH is regaining the lowest range of the previous bull run, which could lead to an expansion period. If the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization holds above this key level, Ethereum will have a glorious year. Additionally, the analyst considers that ETHs last hurdle to overcome this cycle is the $4,000 resistance level. Once it breaks $4,000, it’s clear skies ahead to potentially reach the price target of $10,000. Similarly, known crypto analyst Il Capo of Crypto noted that his main scenario is a bullish continuation. Per Il Capo, Ethereum is looking good above the $3,650 range. This performance seemingly sets the cryptocurrency for a bullish continuation towards the previous cycles all-time high (ATH). Ethereum ETFs, The Catalyst For New ATH? Despite the doubts, Ethereums recent performance resembles Bitcoin’s (BTC) in previous cycles. According to crypto trader Ash, ETH is following the path of the flagship cryptocurrency in 2018-2021. If it continues this track, $10,000+ ETH is programmed. As the crypto market awaits the listing of the spot ETF, some analysts consider it the catalyst for an explosive alt season this year. Similarly, Ali Martinez noted that over 777,000 ETH, worth around $3 billion, have been withdrawn from exchanges since the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the investment products. Due to a supply squeeze, this development could propel ETHs price to higher levels. However, Lookonchain recently revealed that two participants of Ethereums Initial Coin Offering (ICO) deposited around 4.5% of their holdings on a crypto exchange. Per the post, the ICO participants received 200,000 ETH, worth around $767 million, at Ethereums Genesis.

Despite the fear of a possible dump, some community members think this movement could suggest that these long-term holders believe ETHs price will reach unprecedented highs soon.

Ethereum Soars 5.6% Ahead Of ETF Decision, Analysts Set Bigger Price Target

Ethereum (ETH) price is soaring ahead of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decision regarding the Spot ETH ETF (exchange-traded fund). Investors’ and market watchers’ optimism has increased as the King of altcoins surpasses the $3,900 mark. Some analysts believe this bullish momentum could soon propel ETHs price above all established price targets. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Come Alive: Are They Buying Or Selling? Ethereum Soars Amid ETF Approval Expectation Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has seen a significant uptick this week. As rumors of ETH spot ETFs being approved this Wednesday surged, the communitys sentiment towards the asset turned extremely bullish. Previously, Bloomberg experts had asserted that chances of an ETF approval were slim due to the US governments crackdown on the industry. However, this weeks U-turn from the Biden administration sparked a positive sentiment that increased the chances to 65-75%. As a result, Ethereum surged an impressive 30.4% from its price seven days ago. The King of altcoins went from trading just below the $3,000 mark to surpassing the $3,900 resistance level at the time of writing. The community’s optimistic expectations continue as several US lawmakers urge SEC chair Gary Gensler to approve Ethereum ETFs. As reported by Eric Balchunas, a bipartisan group of House lawmakers sent a letter on Tuesday to the SECs Chair asking for the approval of ETH ETFs and other digital assets. According to the letter, the Congress members believe digital asset-backed ETFs offer investors a regulated and transparent investment vehicle to gain exposure. The US lawmakers urged the Commission to maintain a consistent and equitable approach when reviewing upcoming applications for other crypto ETFs. Are Price Targets Too Low? Ethereum has performed remarkablely over the past few days. ETH has surged 5.6% as the community awaits the SECs decision. As pointed out by several market watchers, ETHs weekly candle is resting levels not seen since the first half of March. Crypto Yoddha highlighted Ethereums historic behavior for the previous all-time high (ATH) runs. Per the chart, the second-largest crypto asset went through a 700-day accumulation phase before breaking out and starting the bullish run. Similarly, ETH seemingly ended a 700-day accumulation period this cycle, which could lead to a rally towards a new ATH, if history repeats. The analyst set a target of $15,300 for this cycle. Likewise, Crypto Jelle pointed out that ETH broke out of a multi-month falling wedge pattern. Its recent performance successfully reclaimed the key resistance above the $3,600 mark and is currently testing the $3,900 price range. The trader considers that, if this is the current performance before the approval of ETH ETFs, his $10,000 target for this cycle might be too low.  However, he urged investors to try not to get sucked into overtrading. He considers the initial response to the decision hard to know despite the bullish sentiment. Ultimately, Jelle suggests the community to focus on what you know as the long-term outlook is much clearer.

Due to this, the trader considers that the bull targets for this cycle are $9,000-$11,000. The SECs decision regarding ETH ETFs will be announced around 8:30 pm UTC on May 23.

Ethereum ETFs Heat Up As Filings With SEC Climbs To Six

The latest sign of crypto going mainstream among traditional investors is the race heating up to launch the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to Ethereum futures. In recent weeks, six companies have filed proposals with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch Ethereum futures ETFs.  The Race To Launch An Ethereum Futures ETF Cryptocurrency ETFs track the price of the digital currencies they are tied to and they are not a new thing in the crypto industry. Bitcoin futures have gained popularity in recent years and are already being offered by popular investment companies.  However, with bitcoin futures ETFs now established, it is only natural for the next hot product to be an Ethereum futures ETF. So far, more than 10 Ethereum futures ETFs have been filed in the past, but none have been approved by the SEC.

Since then, Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF, Roundhill Ether Strategy ETF, VanEck’s Ethereum Strategy ETF, and Proshares Short Ether Strategy ETF have been filed and are awaiting clearance, as reported by Bloomberg Intelligence.  Now, Grayscale Investments is also looking to join the pack with its new Ethereum Futures ETF filing. After withdrawing its filing earlier due to SEC concerns, the digital currency asset management company is now back with a better application. Bitwise, another crypto index fund manager, also withdrew its previous filing at the same time.  ETH price jumps to $1,839 | Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview.com According to the filing, the majority of the Grayscale Investments fund’s assets would be placed in Ether futures contracts with “front-month” maturities, which have “the shortest time to maturity.”  The company also intends to diversify into other Ethereum contracts in the coming future.  Why Ethereum Futures ETFs Are Gaining Traction The buzz around crypto ETFs was recently ignited by the news of BlackRock and other investment companies filing applications with the SEC for Spot Bitcoin ETFs. However, the SEC is still yet to give the go-ahead, citing failure to meet anti-fraud and investor protection standards in past applications.  Analysts report that BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF could unlock $30 trillion worth of wealth. Of course, there’s no guarantee if or when they may get the green light. Related Reading: Here’s The Total Number Of XRP That Ripple Currently Holds For crypto investors and the industry, an Ethereum futures ETF would no doubt be a game changer. If approved, Ethereum futures would become available to investors 75 days after the application date. It would provide an easy, low-cost way for investors of these investment companies to gain exposure to the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.  As for ETH’s spot price, it has been struggling to break above $2,000 this year. At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $1,843.96. But if the filings are approved by the SEC, it may signal the beginning of the next Ethereum bull run.
