With one week already gone in the month of July, Ethereum has already begun to perform better than Bitcoin. While the gap is still very close, the outperformance of Ethereum over Bitcoin for only the second time this year could signal the entrance of better things for the altcoin market. If this continues, then an altcoin season might be on the horizon, as historical data shows it always begins with ETH outperforming BTC. So, let’s take a look at how both assets have been performing. Ethereum Barrels Ahead Of Bitcoin In July So far, in the month of July, the Ethereum price has been putting in more green candles, suggesting that bulls are making their move again. This has led to a small outperformance when compared to the Bitcoin price over this time period and could be the signal that altcoin season could be starting soon. Data from the CryptoRank website shows that Ethereum is already up more than 2.50% since the start of July. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price, while having seen some price increases, is up only 1.20% at the time of this writing. Thus, Ethereum is already performing better in the month of July. If this outperformance continues, then this would be only the second time that the Ethereum price will be doing better than the Bitcoin price so far in 2025. The first was back in May, when the Ethereum price rallied by over 41% in one month. This was major compared to Bitcoin’s 11.1% move in that month. However, while the Bitcoin rally in the month of May saw its price reach new all-time highs, Ethereum continues to struggle and remains below its $4,800 all-time high levels. Nevertheless, Ethereum’s rally did translate to bullishness for the altcoin market as the likes of PEPE and BONK rallied by more than 100% in response to this. Given that Ethereum has led the altcoin season in the past, its outperformance of Bitcoin at this level remains a positive. If it continues, then the altcoin market could start to see further increases in price. And if Ethereum rises another 41% from here, it would put it right on the path to $4,000. However, the month of July has not historically been the best month for Ethereum, with an average return of +5.13%. The whole of the third quarter of the year is also a mixed bag for the altcoin, with an equal number of green and red closes over the last decade. Thus, it remains to be seen how the ETH price will perform this quarter and if it can successfully outpace Bitcoin.

Ethereum is still struggling below $3,000 despite the Bitcoin price sitting close to all-time highs. At the current levels, Ethereum continues to look incredibly bearish, with sell-offs dominating the market at this level. While piling shorts are pointing to a possible relief rally, there is also the possibility that the price will crash back down from here. Crypto analyst Weslad maps out the ETH price trajectory using the ABCDE wave structure, showing a possible crash below $2,000. The Bullish Ethereum Scenario Weslad points to the 2021 Ethereum peak when the price reached $4,851 as the point when a large-scale symmetrical pennant had formed for the digital asset. Interestingly, this has continued for multiple years already, and continues to play out even in 2025, four years later. So far, the analyst believes that the altcoin has been in a long-term accumulation phase in a defined corrective range. Another important development is the formation of an ABCDE wave pattern. This pattern often predicts peaks and troughs, and depending on where the asset is in the pattern, it could point to a recovery or a crash. Presently, the crypto analyst puts the Ethereum price as being somewhere in a D wave, which is still bullish for the price. “Currently, price action is developing near point D, approaching the upper boundary of the pennant, a crucial area that could define the next directional move,” the analyst said. If this D wave plays out as expected, then the Ethereum price is expected to actually surge from here. The top of this pattern would put it above $3,500 before the move is completed. On the upper end of this is the formation of an Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern. This pattern has seen the $2,855 acting as key resistance, beating the Ethereum price down multiple times this year. However, if a sustained break is achieved above this level, in conjunction with a breakout from Wave D, then it is possible that the price does rally to new all-time highs above $6,000. The Bearish Scenario While the formation of the ABCDE wave count points to some bullishness for the Ethereum price, there is still the possibility that the price could go in the opposite direction. For example, after the D wave is completed, comes the next wave in the sequence, which is the E wave, and this is a bearish wave. As the crypto analyst explains, a temporary rejection at the neckline or pennant resistance would trigger an E wave retracement. In this case, the Ethereum price could see an over 30% crash, putting it back toward the $1,400-$1,800 level, where there is the most support. “Recent price behavior shows compressed volatility and increased buying interest on dips, reinforcing the possibility of an imminent directional breakout,” Weslad warned. “A decisive move outside this macro structure may mark the beginning of a new phase of long-term price expansion.”

Ethereum is sending a fresh jolt through the crypto market after a sudden upward move on Thursday, with its price finally reclaiming the key $2,500 mark once again. Bullish signals are presently aligning with this renewed strength, which points to a possible continuation of the notable rally. Golden Cross Lights Up Ethereum Chart Examining recent price performance, it is observed that the Ethereum technical landscape just came alive, reviving market optimism with a typical bullish signal. Melijn The Trader, a seasoned crypto expert and investor, reported this bullish signal in a post on X, which hints at a potential reversal of an upward trend. Specifically, this key positive signal is a Golden Cross. A Golden Cross is considered a bullish indicator that occurs when the short-term moving average climbs above the long-term one. It is a crucial signal that is capable of flipping a trend from the downside to the upside. According to Melijn The Trader, the golden cross has appeared in the 1-day time frame chart after a period of waning price action. This signal, in alignment with recent upswings, indicates growing momentum that is likely to pave the way for the next substantial rally to higher price levels. Looking at the daily chart, Ethereum flashed the golden cross just a little above the critical $2,500 price mark. Melijn The Trader highlighted that this point is where bull markets tend to kick off, and history does not take it lightly. Considering the fact that a golden cross is a bullish development, Melijn The Trader claims that ETH is currently sending a clear signal about a breakout to the upside. With prices presently rising and technical indicators flashing positive signals, the expert is confident that the next leg is not a matter of if, but when. ETH Bounces After Retests Key Trend Line Melijn The Trader has also delved into the 2-day time frame chart of Ethereum, revealing that the altcoin is gearing up for a rally. The analyst has identified a descending resistance trendline and an ascending support trendline, currently determining the next potential direction of ETH. A look at the chart shows that Ethereum recently broke above the descending resistance trend. However, ETH failed to initiate a rally, which led to a period of consolidation within the $2,200 and $2,700 price range. Currently, the altcoin just nailed a retest of the descending resistance trend line and has bounced perfectly off the line. ETH’s rebound from the trend line points to signs of rally continuation, with Melijn The Trader noting that this is where the next wave will begin. While the altcoin prepares for a liftoff, the expert stated that the market is watching this key signal. However, only a few are positioned for the impending leg-up.

Technical analysis shows Ethereum has just exhibited a failed golden cross on the 1-day candlestick timeframe chart. The golden cross is widely regarded as a bullish momentum signal. This technical formation, where the 50-day moving average climbs above the 200-day moving average, last occurred on Ethereum’s daily candlestick chart in December 2024 and resulted in an 18% surge. This time, though, the story is very different. Rather than triggering another rally, Ethereum’s price action has been quite flat, which makes it difficult to imagine a break above $3,000 very soon. Lack Of Follow-Through Shows Ethereum’s Weakness According to technical analysis initially noted on the social media platform X, Ethereum recently exhibited a golden cross. However, according to the analyst, this was a failed golden cross, as Ethereum’s price barely moved when it happened on the daily timeframe.  The analyst, who goes by the name Honey on the social media platform, noted that the lack of movement shows more profound issues in current market conditions, especially in terms of liquidity and sentiment. The golden cross should have injected life into Ethereum’s price action, but instead, it shows the absence of momentum. Ethereum’s price performance following the crossover has made the pattern feel more like a false signal than what the golden crossover is mostly known as. The chart below shows that while the moving averages did cross, the price action around that moment was uneventful and even slightly bearish. This is a huge difference from what happened in December 2024, when the same pattern was followed by a quick upside push. Back then, Ethereum’s price surged by about 18% to touch $4,000 very briefly. Return To $3,000 Might Take Longer Than Expected The bigger takeaway is not just the failed breakout, but what it implies about the coming quarter. According to the analyst, this entire crypto market might witness a sluggish and choppy Q3, particularly if Bitcoin is below the $111,000 mark.  In this environment, it’s difficult to imagine Ethereum making a clean run to the $3,000 milestone any time soon. The lack of momentum does not bode well for bullish forecasts, even though Ethereum has so far held its ground at support levels around $2,400.  At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,548, down by 2.1% in the past 24 hours. Data from CoinGecko shows that the leading altcoin reached an intraday high of $2,630 in the past 24 hours, but it has failed to hold up this momentum. For Ethereum to break out of its current zone and move to $3,000, it would need a wave of liquidity and confidence.  This recent volatility is tough for Ethereum’s bullish prospects, but its long-term outlook is relatively strong. Interestingly, one particular analyst believes that Ethereum is going above $10,000 this cycle.

Ethereum is trading above the $2,500 mark but continues to struggle with strong resistance near $2,600, a key level that has capped further upside in recent sessions. After gaining over 23% since June 22, ETH has shown signs of strength, reclaiming crucial levels and riding the wave of market-wide optimism. However, as the broader crypto market stalls, Ethereum’s momentum appears to be slowing down. The bullish impulse that drove ETH higher in late June is now meeting headwinds. Despite holding above important moving averages and maintaining a short-term uptrend, Ethereum has failed to break decisively above the $2,600 barrier. Analysts warn that a failure to reclaim this level with strong volume could lead to a short-term correction. Top analyst Carl Runefelt shared insights indicating a potential bearish setup on the 4-hour chart. According to Runefelt, Ethereum is forming a pattern that could lead to a pullback toward lower demand zones if momentum continues to fade. The coming days will be critical, as bulls attempt to maintain control while bears eye an opportunity to reclaim short-term dominance. Ethereum Faces A Critical Level Ethereum is approaching a crucial juncture following a week marked by volatility and renewed bullish momentum. After reclaiming the $2,500 level and rising over 23% since June 22, ETH has regained the attention of investors. However, the rally now faces a critical test: breaking above the $2,700 resistance level. A successful move above this threshold could ignite a broader altcoin rally, as Ethereum often acts as the leader for the altcoin market. Market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, with bulls appearing to control short-term price action. Ethereum is trading above key moving averages and remains structurally bullish on higher timeframes. Yet, price has stalled just below the $2,600–$2,700 zone—a key supply area that must be flipped into support to confirm the next upward leg. A clean breakout could propel ETH into a new price range, allowing other altcoins to follow and break above their own resistance levels. Carl Runefelt cautions that Ethereum is currently forming a rising wedge pattern on the 4-hour chart—a potentially bearish setup. If the pattern plays out, ETH could fail to break higher and instead fall back toward lower support zones. Runefelt points to the $2,200 level as a key horizontal support that could be tested if momentum weakens and sellers regain short-term control. For now, Ethereum’s price action remains in a tight range. A decisive breakout or breakdown will likely define the direction of the altcoin market in the weeks ahead. Traders and investors alike are closely watching ETH’s next move, as it could set the tone for the remainder of the summer crypto cycle. ETH Price Analysis: Key Resistance At $2,600 Ethereum’s price action continues to reflect a tug-of-war between bulls and bears as it hovers around the $2,550 level, just under the critical resistance at $2,600. After reclaiming that level briefly, ETH failed to hold its gains and pulled back slightly, suggesting sellers remain active at this zone. The chart shows Ethereum forming a lower high in the near term, raising short-term caution among traders. The 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages are now converging around $2,500–$2,530, acting as immediate support. As long as ETH holds above these levels, the medium-term outlook remains constructive. However, any sustained drop below these moving averages could invite additional downside pressure, possibly dragging the price back toward the $2,400 range or even testing the 200-day SMA near $2,180. Volume has remained moderate, showing that neither side has taken full control. Until ETH decisively breaks above $2,600 and flips it into support, the uptrend remains unconfirmed. The next key resistance sits at $2,700. Conversely, a rejection from current levels could indicate the formation of a range-bound structure or a rising wedge breakdown, as some analysts like Carl Runefelt suggest.

The Ethereum price is flashing major upside signals as on-chain and market activity align toward a potential breakout to the $3,000 level. With crypto exchange balances falling to their lowest in nine years, stablecoin rails hitting record highs, and Spot Ethereum ETF inflows spiking last month, analysts now describe ETH as a “powder keg” primed for explosive movement.   Ethereum Price Eyes A $3,300 Breakout  The Ethereum price action is drawing attention as it continues to trade within a well-defined consolidation range, hovering near $2,555 at the time of writing. Based on a recently released technical analysis by crypto analyst Pentoshi on X social media, ETH could be on the verge of a significant move, with $3,300 marked as the next bullish target in the near term.  The crypto expert’s chart reveals that since early May 2025, Ethereum has been locked between two key levels—a support zone around $2,190 and resistance near $2,750. This range has remained intact for over eight weeks, signaling a period of accumulation and low volatility after the sharp decline experienced in the first quarter of the year.  Pentoshi has pinpointed $2,100 as the key downside risk in his bullish outlook, aligning closely with the lower support zone marked on the chart. While the next bullish extension and major resistance level has been identified as $3,300, the analyst expects Ethereum to make a move toward this price level within the next three months. He suggests that the current setup offers a favorable risk-reward profile, estimating a potential upside of roughly 3.2x compared to the downside risk.  Analyst Calls Ethereum A “Powder Keg” In other news, Eric Conner refers to Ethereum as a “powder keg,” highlighting a growing convergence of fundamental factors that are building up pressure and positioning the cryptocurrency for a potentially parabolic move in the market.  The analyst reports that Stablecoin activity on Ethereum has reached historic highs, with the total market capitalization of on-chain dollar-denominated assets hitting $251 billion—a record that also marks 21 consecutive months of uninterrupted growth. In parallel, Ethereum Spot ETFs have brought in $1.17 billion in net inflows during June alone, marking a major shift in investors’ appetite for ETH exposure.  Even more notable, the amount of Ethereum available for trading is now at its lowest level in nearly a decade, with only nine million ETH tokens on centralized crypto exchanges. This nine-year low in exchange balances signals a drying float, where any fresh demand has an outsized impact on price.  Conner has stated that large-scale crypto investors are beginning to take note. He reports that wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 ETH have accumulated more than 800,000 tokens daily during the peak week in June, marking the most aggressive absorption by whales since 2017.  Currently, price action mirrors tension, and the analyst warns that if Ethereum decisively clears the $2,600 resistance level, the combination of supply scarcity, ETF-driven demand, and explosive stablecoin usage could unleash a violent and rapid breakout.

• Key catalysts include over $1.17B in June spot ETF inflows, $888M stablecoin growth on Ethereum in a week, and shrinking exchange reserves.
• Large holders accumulated ETH at the fastest pace since 2017, even during price dips.

Ethereum price action on the 1-day chart continues to unfold in line with prior expectations, showing steady progress within its established bullish setup. The price remains well-structured with ETH holding above key support and respecting trend dynamics. Ethereum’s Next Key Targets — Where Price Could Be Headed Ethereum is facing resistance from a tight cluster of EMAs, which is acting as a ceiling and compressing price action. Crypto Devil highlighted on X that ETH needs to show strength and break above these EMAs to shift short-term momentum back to bull. The price action has already hit the RSI target and rejected from the initial chart target, indicating a possible exhaustion of momentum, but not a breakdown. ETH is showing signs of a potential spring test, a setup that often signals the final shakeout before a bullish breakout. The key confirmation signals to watch are: A break above the tight EMAs signals a bullish control trend, reclaiming the $2.600 level, which is a significant resistance and chart target. This would push the RSI above 53, indicating renewed strength and momentum. Barry | ChartMonkey also noted that the Ethereum weekly chart shows price steadily rising as expected, maintaining a clean bullish structure, and now approaching a critical resistance zone between $2,600 and $2,900. This resistance zone marks a pivotal moment for ETH. However, a break above $2,900 could ignite a new wave of bullish momentum, potentially setting the stage for a broader breakout toward higher targets. Thus, ETH could be on the verge of a significant upside move. On the 4-hour chart, Ethereum is gaining momentum, up 7.58% on the day and trading around $2,593. According to Wayne Liang, this surge is due to a combination of strong accumulation patterns, steady ETF inflows, and rising staking activity. Despite the impressive move, Wayne stated that the short-term outlook remains slightly bearish, with overhead resistance and cooling indicators, the broader trend remains bullish on the long-term trajectory. He refers to the current technical setup as a beautiful blue diamond, a symbolic description for the coiling structure before momentum could explode to the upside. Ethereum In Bullish Continuation Zone Whales_Crypto_Trading analyzed that Ethereum is holding above the lower boundary of an ascending triangle formation on the 2-hour chart, a bullish continuation pattern that precedes upward movement. If the pattern plays out, ETH could surge toward the $3,200 target, a move that aligns with technical projections and bullish market sentiment. The analyst also revealed that Ethereum is testing a key resistance level that has now turned into support. This level is where ETH might determine whether it maintains an upward trend or faces a pullback.   If this support holds, ETH price could climb toward the $4,000 level in the next few months. This level represents a milestone that aligns with technical targets and growing market enthusiasm.

Ethereum has regained strong bullish momentum over the past few days, rising more than 23% since June 22 and reclaiming the critical $2,600 level. After weeks of uncertainty and sideways movement, ETH is showing signs of strength, with bulls now eyeing a push toward the $2,700 resistance zone. A successful reclaim of this level could open the doors for a broader rally, potentially reigniting hopes for the long-awaited altseason. While volatility remains in the broader market, Ethereum’s recovery has been notable, especially as macroeconomic sentiment improves and risk appetite increases across both equities and crypto. The surge in price has brought renewed attention to ETH’s long-term outlook, with top analyst Ted Pillows stating that “ETH is looking good and going above $10,000 this cycle.” This bold projection reflects growing confidence among market participants that Ethereum still holds major upside potential, particularly as network fundamentals strengthen and institutional interest grows. With the $2,700 level acting as the next critical resistance, all eyes are on whether Ethereum can maintain its momentum and set the stage for the next leg higher. The coming days will be essential in confirming whether this rally has staying power or remains short-lived. Ethereum Faces Critical Test As Altcoin Market Watches Closely After a week of volatility, Ethereum surged 9% yesterday, pushing closer to the top of its long-standing range and signaling the potential for a major breakout. Trading between $2,200 and $2,800 since early May, ETH has now returned to the upper end of this consolidation zone. Market participants believe this could be the turning point, not just for Ethereum, but for the entire altcoin market. Ethereum remains the backbone of the altcoin ecosystem, and its price action has historically dictated the momentum of the broader crypto space. A decisive move above $2,800 could trigger a wave of breakouts across major altcoins, many of which remain suppressed under key resistance levels. While short-term volatility remains a concern, analysts argue that Ethereum is showing strong signs of resilience and accumulation. Ted Pillows shared his technical perspective, urging traders to stay focused on the bigger picture: “Don’t let short-term volatility scare you.” According to him, Ethereum will surpass $10,000 this cycle. His view reflects growing confidence among experienced investors who see Ethereum’s current structure as a launchpad for the next expansion phase. With Ethereum at a critical technical juncture and altcoins waiting for confirmation, the coming days could be pivotal. A breakout above $2,800 would validate growing bullish sentiment and potentially spark the long-anticipated altseason. ETH Tests 200-Day MA After Breakout Ethereum is showing renewed strength after reclaiming the $2,600 level and closing above all major moving averages on the daily chart. As seen in the image, ETH surged through the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which had been acting as dynamic resistance near $2,516. This marks a significant technical milestone, indicating bullish momentum may be returning. The breakout candle is backed by rising volume, a positive sign that the move is supported by real market participation. If ETH can hold above the 200-day MA, the next critical level to watch is $2,700 — the top of the range that has held since early May. A decisive close above $2,700 would open the door for further gains, potentially testing the $2,900–$3,000 resistance zone. Support remains near the $2,500 level, where the 50-day and 100-day MAs converge, offering a strong confluence zone should any pullback occur. If bulls can maintain momentum and hold above the moving average cluster, the odds of a larger trend reversal increase. Ethereum’s current setup appears constructive, and market participants are closely watching for continuation, especially as macro sentiment improves and altcoin strength begins to return.

Hope is alive once again for Ethereum, the second-largest crypto asset, following a sudden bounce above the $2,500 level as the new week kicks off. ETH’s recent notable bounce has influenced its market dynamics and sentiment, with on-chain metrics turning positive and many investors displaying signs of accumulation. Institutional Demand Toward Ethereum Rises In an incredible move, Ethereum made a dramatic recovery on Monday, regaining the key $2,500 level. On-chain data shows that ETH’s recent upward move is catching the attention of major investors, especially on the institutional level. Leading on-chain data and financial platform, Glassnode, reported that Ethereum rebounded from the $2,200 level to $2,500, and institutional appetite has subsequently increased. Such a rise in institutional amid price spikes appetite suggests that big players might be looking to capitalize on renewed market strength. Furthermore, the development highlights Ethereum’s continued appeal to major investors, which might pave the way for further substantial institutional inflows when trust in the altcoin’s long-term prospects returns. This growing institutional appetite is observed around the Ethereum Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). According to the on-chain platform, ETH spot ETFs recorded net inflows of over 106,000 ETH in the last week, which marks the 7th consecutive week of positive flows into the products. This consistent accumulation trend demonstrates how demand for direct ETH exposure is rising even in the face of general market uncertainty. As institutions and retail players persistently channeled fresh capital into these products over the past few weeks, it indicates a powerful wave of sustained investor confidence. Should the trend continue in the following weeks, it could set the stage for further price increases. A Wave Of ETH Accumulation Ongoing  Demand for Ethereum is currently picking up pace as the altcoin displays notable upside performance. A report from Crypto Sunmoon, a market expert and author, shows that ETH holders are quietly sending a crucial message to the market with their persistent accumulation. In the quick-take post on the CryptoQuant platform, the expert revealed a strong accumulation pattern among ETH holders despite prior price pullbacks. This robust accumulation suggests renewed conviction and interest in Ethereum. Crypto Sunmoon noted that the June consolidation period saw the emergence of strong buying demand from long-term holders. In addition, the accumulation volume is showing notable divergence. Considering the rise in accumulation volume and buying pressure, the expert is confident that something big might be brewing for the altcoin. BlackMen, an on-chain analyst, has drawn attention to a surge in ETH accumulation to new levels among whales. As mid-2025 approaches, BlackMen stated that altcoin is starting to rise quickly, with the quantity of ETH in accumulation addresses hitting all-time highs. Furthermore, long-term investors are now accumulating more Ethereum rather than selling, according to on-chain data, which signals extremely positive market confidence and optimistic views for the future.
