ETH may retest support before $4K breakout
Ethereum Faces Key Resistance at $4,000: Will Institutional Demand Fuel the Next Rally?
ETH Price Action: Testing Resistance Amid Institutional Accumulation
Ether's 57% monthly surge has stalled near the critical $4,000 resistance level, with analysts noting substantial sell walls capping upside momentum. Market expert Adam observes that while "ETH is so back," price progress may pause until these barriers are absorbed or removed.
Technicals reveal a bullish inverse-head-and-shoulders pattern targeting $4,300, but neutral funding rates indicate trader caution at this multi-year resistance. Analyst Michael Van de Poppe predicts a potential pullback to the $3,300-$3,500 liquidity zone before a decisive breakout attempt.
Institutional Demand Offsets Retail Caution
The rally coincides with unprecedented institutional accumulation:
- Corporate treasuries: Bitmine Immersion Tech (566,800 ETH) and SharpLink Gaming (360,800 ETH)
- Spot ETFs: $1.84 billion inflows last week ($20.6B total AUM)
While their stocks (BMNR -14.5%, SBET -36.4%) corrected after massive 3-month rallies (381% and 565% respectively), their ETH holdings demonstrate long-term conviction. This institutional support may provide stability even if retail traders take profits near current levels.
Key levels to watch:
- Breakout confirmation: Sustained close above $4,000
- Support zones: $3,500-$3,300 (short-term), $3,000 (major)
- Pattern target: $4,300 upon successful breakout
The conflict between technical resistance and growing institutional demand sets up a pivotal moment for ETH's next major move.
