Ethereum price rises towards $3,900 as it mirrors a historic stock market rally

  • Ethereum price is nearing $3,900 as its bull run mirrors Dow’s 1980 bull pattern.
  • Target at $7,150 if ETH price breaks out of the current ascending pattern.
  • Ethereum has recorded $2.12B ETH inflows, signalling strong institutional demand.

Ethereum (ETH) is gaining attention as its price pushes closer to the $3,900 mark, fueled by technical patterns that echo a historic stock market rally.

Ethereum’s bullish momentum is drawing comparisons to the Dow Jones’ explosive run in the 1980s, as analysts suggest ETH may be entering the final phase of a long-term uptrend.

Ethereum follows a historic roadmap

According to market analyst Gert van Lagen, Ethereum is tracing a textbook expanding diagonal, also known as a broadening megaphone pattern, which is nearly identical to a bullish formation seen in the Dow Jones Industrial Average over four decades ago.

This technical setup has been in place since mid-2022 and has already powered a massive 245% rally from November 2022 to February 2024.

Now, Ethereum appears to be in the final stretch of this structure, setting the stage for a potential surge toward the upper boundary of the pattern near $8,000.

Van Lagen links this bullish structure to Elliott Wave Theory, identifying Ethereum’s current position as the fifth and final wave — a stage often described as the “blow-off top,” where prices can rise rapidly before a trend reversal.

Triangle breakout could unlock new highs for ETH price

Ethereum’s chart is also flashing another bullish signal in the form of an ascending triangle, which is typically a continuation pattern that forms ahead of significant upward moves.

The token is currently consolidating between $3,900 and $4,150, which analysts consider a critical resistance zone.

If Ethereum (ETH) manages to break through this level, the pattern’s measured move points to a potential target of $7,150 — an 80% increase from current prices.

This technical breakout could act as the first major confirmation that the final leg of Ethereum’s megaphone pattern is underway, offering swing traders and institutional players strong upside potential.

Institutional capital floods Ethereum

Adding fuel to the fire, Ethereum has just posted a record-breaking week for institutional inflows, with $2.12 billion pouring into ETH investment products according to Coinglass’ total Ethereum spot ETF net inflow data.

That figure nearly doubles the token’s previous weekly inflow high and reflects surging interest from hedge funds, asset managers, and ETF providers.

So far in 2025, Ethereum has attracted over $6.2 billion in capital, already surpassing its entire 2024 total.

Over the last 13 weeks, these inflows have accounted for 23% of Ethereum’s total assets under management — a powerful signal that institutions are increasing exposure.

Although Bitcoin still leads overall with $2.2 billion in inflows this week, Ethereum’s momentum stands out, especially as exchange-traded product (ETP) volume now makes up more than half of Bitcoin’s total trading volume.

This data suggests that institutions are not only accumulating ETH but may also be positioning it as a leading asset in the next phase of crypto adoption.

Macro tailwinds strengthen ETH price outlook

On the macro front, expected interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and the recent approval of Ether-based ETFs are creating a favourable environment for Ethereum to thrive.

These developments could reduce downside risk and help sustain the current rally, especially if capital rotation from traditional assets into digital assets continues.

Investor confidence is also growing as Ethereum regains its long-term ascending trendline, further reinforcing the view that the current rally is technically healthy.

According to some projections, ETH may reach as high as $10,000 under the right conditions, particularly if institutional inflows accelerate.

In the short term, according to our earlier Ethereum price forecast, eyes are on the $4,150 resistance zone as the next key ETH price level.

Ethereum price forecast as ETH dominance jumps to 11.5%

  • Ethereum price is near $3,800 amid fresh upside momentum.
  • Arthur Hayes targets $5k as QCP analysts point to ETH dominance jumping to 11.5%.
  • The broader altcoin market is largely bullish as Bitcoin consolidates after hitting a new all-time high.

Ethereum (ETH) has emerged as one of the altcoins to gain massive attention after surging from below $2,500 to $3,800 and now targeting the $4k level.

Amid price forecasts that see ETH bulls target further gains, Arthur Hayes, former BitMEX CEO, has wondered whether buyers can push to $5k this week.

Analysts at QCP are also bullish on Ethereum as the altcoin’s dominance jumps to above 11% as Bitcoin’s market share drops to 60%.

Ethereum price rises as bulls target more gains

As of writing, Ethereum price hovers around $3,773, slightly off intraday highs of $3,819 reached earlier in the day.

The price level puts Ethereum on track to break above $4,000 amid its latest strong uptrend. According to market data, ETH’s current price is up just 2% in the last 24 hours.

However, the top altcoin’s price is up 24% in the past week and more than 58% in the past month.

Lookonchain has shared data showing ETH whales have aggressively accumulated in the past week, with over $2.7 billion in Ethereum scooped.

Arthur Hayes noted:

ETH price prediction

The Ethereum price is in bullish momentum and has strengthened recovery for most coins, with the Ethereum price gaining amid a surge in its market dominance.

QCP analysts have identified this outlook for ETH and shared their optimistic predictions for the altcoin via X.

Notably, Ethereum is recording a surge in market share dominance as Bitcoin’s dominance slips from highs of 64% to 60%. Ethereum has climbed from 9.7% to 11.6%.

“Is altcoin season finally here? Altcoin season indexes have surged past 50 across major sources, the highest since December. $ETH perpetual open interest has spiked from under $18B to over $28B in a week, and this time it looks like institutions are leading the charge, not retail,” QCP posted.

Per their insights, the GENIUS Act and its signing into law on July 18, 2025, could be a “major catalyst.”

On the bill, the analysts noted:

“It introduces a clear regulatory framework for stablecoin issuance, spurring renewed interest in $ETH and other L1s that host stablecoins.”

In this case, many corporate treasuries are looking to tap into the opportunity with purchases of Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano. Profits from Bitcoin are going into Ethereum and other altcoins.

The rotation could accelerate Ethereum’s gains, particularly if the US Securities and Exchange Commission approves staked ETH exchange-traded funds.

According to QCP, the market has seen spot ETH ETF inflows outpace Bitcoin’s for two consecutive days. 

The combination of institutional inflows, regulatory clarity, and technical strength positions ETH for a significant breakout.

Ethereum bull run just starting, analyst says as whale scoops $70m ETH

  • Whale buy Ethereum amid strong buying pressure.
  • Institutional adoption continues with SharpLink Gaming’s massive purchases.
  • Analysts predict ETH could explode amid numerous catalysts.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is eyeing a major breakout as price hovers above the $3,500 mark.

Part of the bullish outlook is down to on-chain activity, with data showing a massive wave of whale accumulation.

The accumulation adds to the growing institutional demand for the top coin, with SharpLink Gaming’s recent purchases a significant one.

ETH whale accelerate accumulation

The latest on-chain activity paints a picture of aggressive accumulation by whale 0x9684, a pattern that has intensified over the past seven days.

According to data shared by Lookonchain on X, this entity has consistently withdrawn significant ETH stashes from FalconX, with the most recent pull amounting to 19,550 ETH just five minutes before the post.

This brings the whale’s total withdrawal to an eye-watering 122,691 ETH, valued at $443.68 million at current prices.

Such moves suggest a strategic shift toward holding, potentially for staking or long-term investment.

Whale moves and the accumulation seen in recent weeks align with broader trends across the corporate world.

One of the biggest players today in this sector is SharpLink Gaming, a Nasdaq-listed firm that recently bolstered its ETH treasury to 280,706 ETH.

That’s about $840 million of Ether buys, which have come after the company raised $413 million through a share issuance.

The firm’s overtaking of the Ethereum Foundation as the largest corporate ETH holder further amplifies the narrative of institutional confidence, reducing short-term sell pressure and fueling market optimism.

Ethereum price prediction

Ethereum’s price crossing above $3,500 is crucial. For a long time, the altcoin remained lodged below $2,500 and found breaking above $3k a tall order.

But with price retesting highs near $3,700, analysts say the bull run may just be starting.

According to crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe, spot exchange-traded funds inflows, regulatory shifts, and other catalysts could propel ETH to astronomical heights.

“The $ETH ETF inflow combined with the approval of the Stablecoin Bill provides a whole new thesis surrounding the Ethereum ecosystem,” the analyst noted. “The biggest inflows in history on the ETF, outperforming $BTC inflow. This bull market is getting started.”

Ethereum price reached its all-time high above $4,800 in November 2021. While it could explode to this level or higher in the short term, van de Poppe says investors may want to be ready for corrections.

“The reason why I’m saying that you need to be ready for deep corrections; $ETH is $1,000 up in just a week, so it’s a little overextended to the upside. A slight correction isn’t bad, it’s healthy and we’re rebuilding stamina for the next leg up.”

BlackRock moves to add staking to Ethereum ETF amid surge in inflows

  • BlackRock seeks to enable staking in its ETHA fund, aiming to boost returns and efficiency for investors.
  • ETH ETFs see $726M in daily inflows, with BlackRock’s ETHA leading at nearly $500M, amid rising demand.
  • SEC openness to staking ETFs grows, following approval of the first Solana staking fund and increasing industry filings.

BlackRock has filed to incorporate staking into its iShares Ethereum Trust (ticker: ETHA), the largest Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) by assets under management.

The move, disclosed in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday, follows growing institutional interest in Ethereum staking products and comes amid record-breaking net inflows into ETH ETFs.

The filing was submitted by Nasdaq under SEC Rule 19b-4, which national securities exchanges follow to propose new fund structures.

BlackRock is the latest asset manager to pursue staking capabilities for its Ethereum fund, joining a competitive field that includes Grayscale, 21Shares, and others with similar proposals already in the pipeline.

BlackRock’s filing outlines that the trust may stake “all or a portion” of its ETH holdings through one or more trusted staking providers.

The proposal specifies that the ether held by the trust will not be pooled with other entities, nor will the trust assume risk on behalf of others from slashing or network forks.

Coinbase, currently acting as custodian and prime execution agent for ETHA, is expected to serve as the fund’s staking partner.

Record ETH inflows signal demand

The filing comes at a moment of surging interest in Ethereum investment products.

On Wednesday, ETH ETFs recorded their highest single-day net inflow since launch, totaling $726.74 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA accounting for $499 million of that sum.

So far in July, ETH ETFs have attracted over $2.27 billion in net inflows, marking the strongest monthly inflow to date, according to data from SoSoValue.

ETHA was approved in July 2024, as part of a group of spot Ethereum ETFs greenlit by the SEC shortly after it approved the first spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier in the year.

ETHA currently holds over $7.9 billion in assets, underscoring BlackRock’s leadership position in Ethereum-based exchange-traded products.

BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, Robert Mitchnick, has previously signaled that staking would be the “next phase” for crypto ETFs.

Thursday’s filing appears to make that vision concrete, at a time when regulatory momentum and investor interest are aligning.

Staking ETFs enter regulatory spotlight

BlackRock’s move comes shortly after the SEC approved the REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF, the first US-based staking ETF, earlier this month.

That product was approved under the more stringent Securities Exchange Act of 1940.

In contrast, BlackRock’s ETHA staking proposal falls under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, under which no staking ETF has yet been approved.

However, SEC officials have indicated growing openness to staking ETFs.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart noted on X (formerly Twitter) that “staking is not done,” predicting that approval for Ethereum staking ETFs may arrive as early as Q4 2025.

While BlackRock’s latest filing may not receive a final decision until around April 2026, the broader outlook for staking products appears favorable.

As Ethereum’s price hovers near $3,399—still below its 2021 all-time high of $4,878—the prospect of yield-generating, regulated staking products could further fuel institutional adoption.

With competitors also eyeing staking ETFs for assets like Cronos, Tron, and Injective, BlackRock’s move signals an increasingly diverse crypto ETF landscape taking shape.

Arthur Hayes-linked wallet bags $2M worth of AAVE and LDO in an OTC deal

  • An address possibly linked to a BitMEX co-founder has received DeFi tokens worth $2.05 million.
  • The transaction involved 3,033 AAVE and 1.1253 million LIDO.
  • Flowdesk sent the assets, suggesting a potential over-the-counter purchase.

The altcoin narrative is gaining steam as Ethereum starts to outperform the markets.

ETH, SOL, and XRP surged up to 10% in the past 24 hours while the largest cryptocurrency by value remained calm above $118,600.

Amidst the shifting trends, crypto sleuths observed an interesting transaction linked to a wallet believed to be that of BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes.

The address received 3,033.14 AAVE and 1.1253 million LIDO, worth $2.05 million, from Flowdesk, a trading company.

This is more than an average transaction.

The timing, size, and parties involved have triggered debates within the cryptocurrency community.

Is Arthur Hayes accumulating DeFi blue chip tokens in anticipation of an imminent bull run?

Flowdesk’s role suggests an OTC deal

The source of the transferred assets added to the curiosity.

Flowdesk is known for handling massive transactions for wealthy individuals or institutions.

The fact that the wallets received the tokens directly from Flowdesk indicates an over-the-counter (OTC) deal.

This option allows the buyer to evade slippage and maintain privacy than using public exchanges.

Participants often opt for OTC deals to purchase or offload enormous amounts of digital assets without impacting market prices.

Moreover, individuals use over-the-counter to buy cryptocurrencies when preparing to hold them for the long term.

Why the two altcoins

The purchase wasn’t a random pick. AAVE and LIDO are among the most reputable DeFi tokens.

AAVE is among the earliest and most trusted lending protocols.

It is currently the second-largest business on the Ethereum blockchain, according to total value locked, surpassing Circle the previous week.

Aave’s multi-chain plans and upcoming V4 upgrade continue to grab the community’s attention.

On the other side, Lido is a dominant player in the Ethereum staking ecosystem.

It allows individuals to stake Ether while providing liquidity via stETH.

The LIS (Lido Impact Staking) launched early this year to transform sustainable funding for social impact projects.

AAVE price outlook

The alt trades at $325 after gaining more than 10% in the past week.

While it reflects weakness after a 1.15% dip in the past day, possibly due to profit-taking, AAVE’s bullish structure remains intact.

Renowned crypto analyst Javon Marks predicts massive moves to $628, translating to an over 90% surge from the current price.

He believes AAVE could extend to $1,200 with broad market bull runs.

LDO set for 50% surge

Lido DAO’s native coin exhibited a bullish outlook after gaining more than 4.6% in the past day.

Its soaring daily trading volume signals magnified interest in the altcoin.

LDO trades at $0.9435 after a 20% surge in the past seven days.

It tests an immediate resistance level between $0.95 and $1.00, according to analyst CW.

The digital coin secured a reliable footing at $0.66 – $0.72, hinting at stable performances.

With the next sell wall at $1.4, LDO holders can brace for nearly 50% gains in the near term.

The prevailing crypto market sentiments support LDO and AAVE’s bullish trajectories.
