BTC, ETH CME Gaps Could Fill Before Bullish Continuation!Ethereum CME futures currently show a visible gap around $4,100 . Price is approaching this level, and based on historical behavior, CME gaps often act as magnets, drawing price in to fill them before a continuation in trend. Bitcoin CME futures also have a gap sitting near $117,400. The recent rally has brought BTC close to this zone, increasing the probability of a short-term retracement to fill the gap before any significant breakout attempts. Both gaps are key areas to watch, as a clean fill followed by strong buying pressure could set the stage for the next bullish wave in BTC and ETH. Cheers Hexa

ETH/USDT :Wave 5 Drop to 4300–Rebound Rally to 4600 Before Crashthereum has likely completed a 5-wave impulsive rally from 1380 → 4780, with the channel break confirming a larger correction in progress. Currently, price is unfolding Wave A of an ABC NeoWave structure, subdividing into 5 smaller waves. ⸻ 🔹 Wave Count Breakdown • Wave 1: Sharp drop to ~4335 • Wave 2: 61.8% rebound to 4463 • Wave 3: Extended selloff (161.8% of W1) → 4335 • Wave 4: Shallow retrace (~38.2% W3) → 4463 • Wave 5 (in progress): Targeting 4300–4270 (1.618 Fib + channel floor) 👉 Monowave count (~45–55) sits perfectly inside NeoWave’s 34–89 range → confirming impulsive character of this Wave A. ⸻ 🔹 Next Path Scenarios 1. Wave A completion → Short-term bottom around 4300 (confluence of Fib + channel). 2. Wave B rebound → Relief rally toward 4460–4600 (38.2–50% retrace of A). Likely a sharp ABC bounce that traps late shorts. 3. Wave C decline → Resumption of downtrend toward 3800–4000, with risk of an extended drop to 3500 if momentum accelerates. ⸻ 🔹 Technical Clues • Fib structure: Textbook alternation (W2 deep / W4 shallow). • RSI divergence at lows → exhaustion signals. • Dominance context: USDT.D rebounding + BTC.D >60% → capital rotation suggests ETH downside risk remains elevated. ⸻ 🔹 Trade Setup (Bias: Short with rebound play) • Entry (short): Below 4400 on BOS confirmation (break of 4335). • Targets: TP1 = 4300 (end of A), TP2 = 3800 (post-B wave). • Rebound long: Consider 4300 → 4600 scalp if Wave A completes. • Stops: Above 4463 (W4 high) for shorts / below 4300 for longs. • Risk mgmt: 1–2% position size; trail stops along channel midline. ⸻ ⚠️ Volatility remains extreme. Manage risk strictly—crypto psychology flips fast.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are bullishBitcoin needs to monitor the effectiveness of support at its secondary low today, with a breakout point providing key support. We anticipate a high probability of continued volatile upward movement, with periods of consolidation and pullbacks to build momentum. Yesterday's price retreated above 116,000 and stabilized, awaiting a breakout above the previous high to continue its upward trend. In the four-hour chart, 116,500 is seen as support, while the 15-minute chart shows a volatile upward channel structure. The short-term technical pattern is bullish. Bitcoin long positions can be entered in the 117,000-117,300 range, with an eye on 118,500. Ethereum long positions can be entered in the 4370-4400 range, with an eye on 4500. Bitcoin stop-loss orders should be placed below 116,500, while Ethereum stop-loss orders should be placed below 4370.

ETH - This will take time Part IIIEthereum has reached its predicted price target, indicating a likely retracement. RSI (7) divergence is present across all major time frames (monthly, weekly, and daily), reinforcing this outlook. Two potential retracement scenarios are possible: the blue line represents a shallow retracement, while the red line suggests a deeper pullback, potentially to €2.300. In a more bearish scenario, prices could decline further to the €1.800–€1.400 range. A key question is whether the whole 4 year-correction reflects an Elliott Wave ABCDE triangle pattern or a WXY wave. If the correction was a WXY wave, the first minor wave of the fifth wave (primary degree) may have begun at €1.255 on April 7, 2025, with the anticipated retracement representing the second minor wave. Regardless of the wave structure, caution is advised. The next major cycle is expected to begin between October and December 2025 or January and February 2026, as outlined in my previous analysis, "ETH - This will take time Part II" For now, it’s prudent to step back and monitor market developments.

The season of Ethereum has arrived! Do you know that Ethereum is currently the strongest coin in the market? Even its targets and chart look stronger than Bitcoin’s. Exactly 4 months ago, I posted an Ethereum analysis saying it had reached its lowest bottom, and at that time its price was exactly $2,180. Take a look at the chart below. Now my view is playing out, and Ethereum is only a few steps away from a new all-time high. But did you know it’s still early, and you haven’t missed the opportunity yet? Ethereum just broke a megaphone pattern on the weekly timeframe with a massive candle. Even with all this upward movement, it only started breaking the pattern in the last couple of days, and it still has around 5% left to climb before hitting a new peak and entering price discovery mode. And even with the crash that happened yesterday, it didn’t drop much and bounced back very quickly, as if it were just a normal day. Overall, Ethereum will be in the 5-digit range—just like I told you exactly 4 months ago, when many didn’t believe it—and it will reach that by the end of the year. Remember my words, just like every time I’ve told you before. Best Regards: Ceciliones🎯

Ethereum Price Nears $5,000 After 3.5 Years; Will It Succeed?Ethereum is currently trading at $4,723, just 5.8% away from the $5,000 milestone. The asset has secured $4,500 as a solid support level, further strengthening its bullish outlook. This three-and-a-half-year high is energizing buyers, who see $5,000 as the next key target. With robust whale accumulation, record futures interest, and positive funding rates, Ethereum’s path toward $5,000 appears intact. Once this level is breached, momentum could carry the price even higher, potentially targeting $5,500 in the following weeks. However, the bullish scenario hinges on investor sentiment holding firm. If traders pivot to profit-taking, ETH could drop below the $4,500 support. A sustained move under this level might push prices toward $4,200, undermining the current uptrend and delaying further gains.

Ethereum on the Edge – The Breakdown Could Start Any Moment!Following yesterday’s analysis, where we identified Ethereum in the final stages of wave 5 of 5 at the upper boundary of its ascending channel, the 15-minute chart now reveals a contracting Neutral Triangle structure. This pattern typically forms as the final subdivision of wave 5, often preceding a sharp and decisive reversal. Currently, price is testing the upper boundary of the B–D trendline. A confirmed breakdown from the E-wave low (≈ $4,590) would mark the completion of the triangle and signal the start of the anticipated decline.

ETH Monthly RSI Approaches Cycle Top? Ethereum is showing strong momentum on the monthly timeframe, pushing toward levels not seen since its previous all-time highs. However, a critical technical indicator, the Monthly RSI is currently at 65 and steadily approaching its historically reliable sell zone between 83–85. Key Observations: -The monthly RSI has been capped by a descending trendline resistance since 2017. -Each time RSI touched this resistance — in 2017 and 2021 — ETH reached a cycle peak, followed by a significant multi-month correction. -Price is rallying strongly, but RSI still has room to rise before hitting the critical 83–85 zone. Historical Pattern: -2017: RSI rejection led to a ~90% decline. -2021: RSI rejection triggered a ~75% drawdown. -Now (2025): RSI is climbing toward this zone for the third time, potentially signaling a major profit-taking window once reached. When the RSI reaches the trend resistance level of 83–85, the price could potentially touch the $7,500–$9,000 range. Cheers Hexa

Can ETH Reach $8,500 Amidst Bullish Catalysts and Threats?A confluence of unprecedented institutional buying, feverish derivatives activity, and bullish technical patterns has ignited the Ethereum market, propelling its price to multi-year highs and sparking bold predictions of a surge to $8,500 and beyond. This rally, however, is not without its skeptics, who point to signs of overheating, increasing profit-taking, and the ever-present shadow of a market cycle peak. The world's second-largest cryptocurrency has been on a tear, with its price climbing significantly in a single month and nearing its all-time high. This powerful upswing has shifted the crypto world's focus away from a rangebound Bitcoin, raising questions about the mechanics of this bull run, its sustainability, and the myriad of forces pulling the price in opposite directions. The Bull Case: A Perfect Storm of Institutional FOMO and Technical Breakouts At the heart of the current rally is a tidal wave of institutional capital, a force that has fundamentally reshaped the market landscape. The recent launch of spot Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) has been a resounding success, with reports indicating substantial net inflows on single trading days. This influx of "big money" provides a stark contrast to previous retail-driven rallies, suggesting a more stable, long-term buying pressure. Leading this charge is one major institutional player, a technology firm chaired by a prominent Wall Street strategist. In a move that has drawn comparisons to aggressive corporate Bitcoin accumulation strategies, the firm has announced plans to expand its equity offering to a colossal sum, with the proceeds earmarked for further Ethereum purchases. The firm, already one of the largest corporate holders of Ethereum, is aiming to control a remarkable percentage of the total ETH supply. This monumental buying pressure from a single entity is a powerful bullish signal, fueling what some analysts have described as a price action that is "defying gravity." The institutional appetite extends beyond this single entity. The total amount of Ether held by companies with crypto treasuries has surged. Simultaneously, Ethereum held on exchanges has dropped to a multi-year low, a bullish indicator that suggests investors are moving their assets into long-term storage with no immediate intention to sell. This institutional fervor is underpinned by a compelling technical picture. Analysts have identified a rare but powerful chart pattern on Ethereum's daily chart that has been developing for months. This setup is characterized by a horizontal resistance level and a downward-sloping support line, indicating increasingly aggressive buying on each dip. A decisive breakout above this resistance, according to technical analysis principles, could initially target higher price levels, with stronger momentum potentially extending the rally significantly. Other optimistic projections see Ethereum potentially reaching even higher valuations, with some analyses pointing to a fractal pattern that mirrors Bitcoin's previous bull runs. The Derivatives Dilemma: Record Highs and Muted Enthusiasm The derivatives market paints a more complex and, in some ways, contradictory picture. Ether futures open interest has soared to an all-time high, with the monthly trading volume on institutional-grade exchanges hitting record levels. This surge in activity, particularly from platforms favored by institutional investors, undeniably signals heightened interest and preparation for volatility. However, a closer look at the data reveals some nuances. The record open interest, when denominated in US dollars, is largely a function of the rising price of ETH itself, rather than a massive influx of new leveraged positions. In fact, open interest measured in ETH terms remains below its previous peak. Furthermore, derivatives data suggests a surprisingly subdued appetite for leveraged bullish bets. The annualized premium for ETH perpetual futures has been hovering around a neutral level, below what would typically indicate strong demand for leveraged longs. This could be interpreted in two ways: either the rally is being driven more by spot buying and has a more solid foundation, or there is a lack of conviction among speculative traders about the sustainability of the current price levels. The Bearish Counterpoint: Profit-Taking, Historical Cycles, and Competitive Threats As Ethereum's price tiptoes near its previous highs, signs of profit-taking are beginning to emerge. On-chain analytics show that short-term holders, in particular, are ramping up their selling to realize gains. While long-term holders remain relatively steadfast, daily profit realization has climbed. With a vast majority of all Ether addresses now in a state of profit, the temptation to sell could create significant headwinds, potentially slowing the ascent. Adding to the cautionary tone is analysis from some market experts who have advised investors to consider selling their Ethereum holdings by the autumn. Citing the psychology of market cycles, one analysis suggests that the current "Optimism" phase is likely to transition into a "Market Peak/Euphoria" phase, which is historically followed by a swift and brutal correction. This perspective predicts that Bitcoin could show signs of topping out first, with Ethereum following suit, potentially leading to a significant price collapse for ETH. The short-term target in this scenario lies in a range substantially higher than current prices, but would precede this potential downturn. Beyond immediate market sentiment, Ethereum faces long-term strategic challenges. Its dominance in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space is being contested by a growing number of independent layer-1 blockchains that offer faster transactions and lower fees. Major corporations and traditional finance entities are increasingly favoring these proprietary chains for their own blockchain projects, seeking greater control and customization. This trend is reflected in on-chain metrics, with Ethereum's total value locked (TVL) showing a decline and its weekly base layer fees lagging behind some competitors. Ethereum vs. Bitcoin: The Flippening Narrative Resurfaces For much of the recent crypto market action, Bitcoin has been in a state of consolidation. This has allowed Ethereum to take the spotlight, with ETH significantly outperforming BTC in recent weeks. This divergence has reignited discussions of "The Flippening," the hypothetical moment when Ethereum's market capitalization surpasses Bitcoin's. The bull case for Ethereum's outperformance hinges on its utility as a programmable platform for DeFi, NFTs, and a host of other decentralized applications. This contrasts with Bitcoin's primary role as a store of value. The massive institutional inflows into Ethereum, both through direct purchases and ETFs, are seen as a validation of its long-term potential beyond a simple inflation hedge. However, some Bitcoin proponents argue that the current ETH/BTC rally is an engineered market event. They allege that influential players are rotating their Bitcoin holdings into Ethereum to inflate its price based on the corporate treasury narrative, only to later sell their ETH and convert the profits back into Bitcoin. Conclusion: A High-Stakes Balancing Act Ethereum stands at a pivotal juncture. The powerful narrative of institutional adoption, exemplified by audacious corporate accumulation strategies, combined with bullish technical indicators, provides a credible path towards ambitious price targets. The influx of capital through ETFs and the growing recognition of Ethereum's role as the backbone of Web3 are formidable tailwinds. However, the journey is fraught with peril. The specter of a cyclical market top, as articulated by some analysts, cannot be ignored. The increasing profit-taking by short-term holders, the ambivalent signals from the derivatives market, and the persistent competition from other layer-1 blockchains are all significant hurdles that could stall the rally. Whether Ethereum will surge to new all-time highs and beyond or succumb to the pressures of an overheated market remains to be seen. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining if the current bull run has the legs to defy historical patterns and establish a new paradigm for the world's leading smart contract platform. For now, the market remains in a delicate, high-stakes balancing act, with the potential for both explosive gains and sharp, unforgiving corrections.

Ethereum (ETH/USD) – Elliott Wave AnalysisThe current price structure suggests that Ethereum is completing the final stages of a 5-wave impulsive advance, with the market now positioned in wave 5 of 5. Price action has reached the upper boundary of the ascending channel, coinciding with a key Fibonacci projection zone (green resistance area), which aligns with typical wave 5 termination points. Given this confluence, the probability of a medium-to-long-term top forming here is elevated. Once wave 5 completes, a corrective phase is expected, potentially retracing towards the midline or lower boundary of the channel. The projected path (blue arrows) anticipates a significant decline, consistent with the completion of a full impulsive cycle. Key Points: • Structure: Impulse wave (5 of 5) nearing completion • Confluence: Channel resistance + Fibonacci projection zone • Outlook: High probability of reversal and corrective decline • Targets: First support near $3,650, with deeper retracements possible toward $3,000–$2,800 if bearish momentum accelerates This suggests caution for late long entries, as risk/reward now favors a corrective move.

$ETH breakout leading to test 5000$Over the past three months, Ethereum has been consistently forming higher lows, starting from the ~$1,362 level, showing a strong and sustained uptrend. Recently, ETH decisively broke above the $4,100 resistance zone, which had previously rejected price action three times. With this breakout, I’m not expecting an immediate retest of $4,100. Instead, price may continue its rally toward the 2021 all-time high near $4,900. Only after testing that level could we see a pullback to retest the $4,100 zone or even fill the small gap near $4,050. On the fundamentals side, ETH ETF inflows remain positive on a daily basis, signaling strong institutional demand. Combined with increased whale accumulation, buying pressure continues to dominate. Earlier, I considered this area for a potential short, but the price action and on-chain data now clearly indicate this is not a shorting opportunity—momentum remains bullish.

Ethereum Flips MasterCard: Is $5,000 ETH Next?A new era is dawning for Ethereum, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency. In a stunning display of market strength, Ethereum has not only surpassed the market capitalization of financial giant Mastercard but is also setting its sights on the ambitious $5,000 price target. This powerful rally, which saw Ethereum gain an impressive 45% in a single month, is fueled by a potent combination of surging institutional investment, increasing regulatory clarity, and significant buying pressure from large-scale investors, colloquially known as "whales." However, this bullish narrative is not without its counterpoints, as short-term leverage risks and a sense of caution in the options market present potential hurdles on the path to new all-time highs. A New King in the Asset Rankings: Ethereum Flips Mastercard In a landmark moment for the cryptocurrency space, Ethereum's market capitalization soared to over $519 billion in August 2025, eclipsing that of the global payments behemoth, Mastercard. This achievement propelled Ethereum to the 22nd spot among the world's largest assets, placing it ahead of household names like Netflix, Exxon Mobil, Costco, and Johnson & Johnson. The surge was the result of a consistent upward trend, with Ethereum's price climbing nearly 7% in a single day to hit $4,300, capping a 21% rise over several weeks. This "flippening" of a traditional financial institution has ignited fresh debate about the long-term potential of decentralized assets. The 24/7 nature of cryptocurrency markets provides a distinct advantage, allowing for continuous trading and accumulation of buying momentum, even when traditional stock markets are closed. While Bitcoin still holds a commanding lead with a market capitalization of $2.36 trillion, Ethereum's consistent gains since July 2025 have kept the conversation alive about its potential to one day challenge the top spot. The Road to $5,000: A Rally Fueled by Whales and Regulatory Tailwinds The drive towards the psychologically significant $5,000 mark is being underpinned by several powerful forces. A staggering 45% monthly gain has brought this target within reach, with analysts pointing to a confluence of bullish factors. One of the primary drivers is the unprecedented level of accumulation by "whales." In a single week, these large-scale investors accumulated an astounding $946.6 million worth of Ethereum. This aggressive buying is not limited to individual investors. A mysterious institution was reported to have acquired 221,166 ETH, worth nearly $1 billion, in a single week, signaling strong long-term confidence even at elevated prices. This whale activity is significant as it reduces the available supply of ETH on exchanges, creating a supply squeeze that can amplify price movements. Adding to this momentum is the growing clarity in the regulatory landscape, particularly in the United States. Recent developments, including the White House's new digital asset framework and a resolution in the Ripple-SEC case, have helped to remove key uncertainties that have long plagued the crypto market. This improved regulatory environment is fostering greater trust and encouraging institutional adoption. The introduction of tax-advantaged structures, such as IRS Code 351, which allows for tax-free exchanges of Ethereum for treasury shares, is further incentivizing large-scale purchases by long-term holders. The Rise of Corporate Ethereum and ETF Inflows A significant and growing trend is the increasing allocation of corporate treasuries to Ethereum. As of August 2025, corporate Ether holdings have surged to an impressive $13 billion, with the total amount held by companies reaching 3.04 million ETH. This rally in corporate adoption is being led by firms like BitMine Immersion Technologies, SharpLink Gaming, and The Ether Machine. BitMine Immersion Technologies, in particular, has made headlines by becoming the first company to hold more than $3 billion in ETH, having increased its holdings by a staggering 410.68% in just 30 days to 833,100 ETH. SharpLink Gaming and The Ether Machine have also significantly boosted their ETH treasuries, with the top ten corporate holders now controlling over 2.63 million ETH, representing about 2.63% of the asset's total supply. This corporate buying spree is mirrored by the substantial inflows into spot Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). In a single day, ETH ETFs saw inflows of $533.8 million, with cumulative inflows since July 2024 topping $8.9 billion. These sustained ETF inflows, coupled with the growth of corporate reserves, are seen as a powerful combination that could position ETH to outperform and challenge the $5,000 level for the first time. A Time to Sell? Market Cycles and Exit Strategies While the current sentiment is overwhelmingly bullish, some analysts are sounding a note of caution, suggesting that the current rally may have an expiration date. Drawing on well-known market cycle cheat sheets, some traders are pointing to the current phase as one of "Optimism" and "Ethereum dominance," which they believe will eventually lead to a "Market Peak/Euphoria" phase. According to one such analysis by a crypto trader, this peak could be reached by the end of October 2025, at which point the market may experience extreme overvaluation and a subsequent downturn. This perspective suggests that while there may still be room for significant upside, with short-term targets ranging from $5,800 to $6,000, a strategic exit plan is crucial. This view is not universally held, with other technical analyses projecting targets as high as $12,000 based on patterns similar to Bitcoin's 2020 rally. The Clash of Fundamentals and Short-Term Risks Despite the strong bullish fundamentals, there are short-term risks that could temper the rally. One of the primary concerns is the high level of leverage in the market. The all-exchange Estimated Leverage Ratio (ELR) has climbed to 0.68, approaching historical highs and signaling excessive speculative activity. While this indicates a high degree of confidence, it also increases the risk of cascading liquidations in the event of a price correction. The Ethereum options market also reflects a degree of caution. Despite the 41% rally in a month, derivatives data shows that traders have yet to turn decisively bullish. The options delta skew, a measure of the relative demand for bullish versus bearish options, remains in neutral territory. This suggests that while professional traders are not anticipating a significant price drop, they are also not exhibiting the "euphoria" that often accompanies major market tops. This lack of euphoria in the options market could be interpreted in two ways: either as a sign of a healthy, sustainable rally or as an indication that there isn't enough conviction to push the price significantly higher in the immediate future. Conclusion: A Bullish Trajectory Tempered by Prudence Ethereum's recent performance has been nothing short of remarkable. The cryptocurrency has not only achieved a significant milestone by surpassing Mastercard in market capitalization but has also laid a strong foundation for a potential run to $5,000 and beyond. The confluence of strong institutional demand, growing corporate adoption, and increasing regulatory clarity paints a decidedly bullish picture for the long term. However, the path forward is unlikely to be a straight line. The risks associated with high leverage in the short term, coupled with a sense of caution in the options market, serve as important reminders that volatility remains a key characteristic of the crypto space. While the fundamental drivers suggest that Ethereum is well-positioned for continued growth, investors and market participants would be wise to remain vigilant and mindful of the potential for pullbacks. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether Ethereum can sustain its current momentum and solidify its position not just as a leading cryptocurrency, but as a global financial asset of the future.
