Since the start of this week, Ethereum has displayed strong price stability above the $3,300 zone. In the past three days alone, ETH has climbed over 14.48% and reached $3,500. This surge highlighted renewed investor confidence and active buying interest in the market. According to the Coinglass data currently, Binance holds 35.77% of the total market open interest with 1.46 million ETH.

The current positive outlook for Ethereum comes as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reportedly granted “preliminary approval” to several asset managers for their spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Also, the expected Ethereum ETFs will begin trading as early as July 23. This development has injected further optimism into the Ethereum market, fueling expectations for increased institutional participation and broader adoption.

As a result of these announcements, Ethereum’s price climbed over 10% from the monthly low of $2,85 and currently holds a market cap of $420 billion, now commanding approximately 17.5% of the total cryptocurrency market share.

Exploring Ethereum’s Upcoming Possibilities

From a technical analysis perspective , Ethereum’s price chart shows a bullish trend, with the potential target of $4,000 resistance levels now in focus. The price has risen by 3% over the past 24 hours and now trading at $3,481, which is above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Further, the relative strength index (RSI) is at 70, indicating overbought conditions but still room for upward movement.

Looking ahead, analysts and market participants are eyeing the $4,000 price level as the next target for Ethereum. This optimistic outlook is bolstered by key support levels around $3,650 and $3,800, previously significant resistance levels now acting as support. 

Staying above these levels is crucial for the bullish trend, potentially pushing ETH to $4,200 with continued momentum. However, if ETH falls below $3,300, it could decline to $3,250, then $3,000, with $2,750 as the bottom support.
