What's Next for ETH Price
Ethereum is consolidating between $2,200 and $4,000 since March 2024. It needs to maintain above $2,200 to avoid a selloff towards $1,500. A bullish outlook exists due to institutional adoption, potentially triggering a significant short squeeze if Ether closes above $3,500.
Robust Fundamentals
The Ethereum network leads the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, with about $56 billion total value locked (TVL) and a stablecoin market cap of around $121 billion. Its TVL surpasses that of the next four largest smart contract platforms combined. Institutional interest is rising, with cash inflows to US spot Ether ETFs totaling $3.18 billion.
