Quick overview
Ethereum surges 30% to $1,810 as investor sentiment shifts. Explore how rising ETF inflows and DEX volumes are fueling optimism in the crypto market.
Ethereum has risen 30% from its YTD low to $1,810 as investor sentiment across the crypto market has turned more positive. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has gone from “extreme fear” 18 to 53, indicating a growing appetite for risk.
Ethereum’s market cap is near $220 billion after weeks of volatility. Analysts attribute the rally to broader market resilience and fresh institutional interest, with Wall Street investors piling into Ethereum products.
Key Figures:
- Ethereum price: $1,810 (+30% from YTD low)
- Market cap: ~$220 billion
- Fear and Greed Index: 53 (Neutral)
With $2,000 in sight, momentum could accelerate if macro stays supportive.
Institutional Flows Turn Positive
Spot Ethereum ETFs have seen net inflows of over $157 million this week – the biggest inflow since February. This reverses several weeks of outflows, the longest streak since spot ETH funds were approved.
The reversal suggests institutional investors are regaining confidence in Ethereum’s long term outlook despite broader economic uncertainty. ETF inflows are a leading indicator of price stability so this supports the view that Ethereum’s rally has structural support.
Notable developments:
- Spot ETH ETF inflows: $157 million+
- Reversal after multi-week outflows
- Improved Wall Street sentiment
If flows continue like this, Ethereum could go higher and take other alts with it.
DEX Activity Supports Bullish View
Ethereum DEXs have followed the trend. Over the past week, DEXs have seen over $11.5 billion in volume, 30 day cumulative volume is $57 billion.
Uniswap, Curve Finance, Fluid and Maverick Protocol were the main contributors to this volume, showing Ethereum is the backbone of DeFi.
Additional highlights:
- 24 hour DEX volume: $1.7 billion
- 30 day DEX volume: $57 billion
- Uniswap still dominates DEX tradingBut beware. The drop in Ethereum’s perpetual futures funding rates suggests short sellers are positioning for volatility so be careful with your trade setups.
Ethereum Consolidates at $1,810: $1,858 Breakout in Play
Ethereum (ETH/USD) is consolidating at $1,810 after bouncing off the rising trendline at $1,790. Price action is still good, ETH is above the 50 EMA ($1,773) which is a key support.
Immediate resistance is at $1,858 – a level that previously capped rallies. A breakout above $1,858 could be followed by $1,892 and $1,935 quickly. MACD is neutral so this is consolidation not weakness.
Trade Plan:
- Buy breakout: Above $1,858
- Targets: $1,892 and $1,935
- Stop-loss: Below $1,790
For new traders this is a classic “higher lows” pattern where momentum builds up gradually. Confirmation on any breakout is key. Until then, patience is the key – let the chart do the talking.
