Ethereum (ETH) is once again in the spotlight as institutional traders bet on a major rally to $6,000 by December 26, fueled by strong momentum and rising optimism around spot ETFs and staking rewards. At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $2,490.24, following an 80% price surge since April.Traders Deploy Bull Call Spreads on $6,000 ETH TargetLast week, institutional and block-size traders executed bull call spread strategies on ETH, showing conviction that Ethereum will rally to at least $6,000 by the end of the year. The strategy involved:Buying $3,500 call optionsSelling $6,000 call optionsExpiration: December 26, 2025The trades were initiated on over-the-counter platform Paradigm and later listed on Deribit, totaling 30,000 contracts across 10 trades and costing over $7 million.This strategy yields maximum profit if ETH hits or exceeds $6,000, while losses are capped at the initial premium paid. However, gains are also capped above $6,000 due to the short call position.ETH Options Market Signals Aggressive Bullish SentimentEach contract represents one ETH, meaning this sizable position reflects institutional confidence in Ethereum’s potential to outperform in the second half of 2025. At current levels near $2,490, ETH would need to more than double for the spread to realize its full potential.Should ETH remain below $3,600 by expiry, the options will expire worthless, and traders would face a loss of the $7 million premium paid.ETH Up Over 80% Since April Amid Market ReboundEther’s strong performance in recent months has tracked broader crypto market gains. ETH rebounded from April lows of around $1,390 to nearly $2,500, driven by:Increased risk-on sentiment in global marketsGrowing institutional interestSpeculation over Ethereum spot ETFs with staking componentsAnalyst Greg Magadini commented that now is not the time to call a market top, stating:“I continue to like these upside trades, especially for the beat-up Ethereum. There’s a strong argument for ETH catching up as spot ETFs and staking rewards gain attention. No reason to call tops right now.”Can ETH Hit $6,000 by December?While the bull call spread strategy implies a high-confidence bet on ETH reaching $6,000, the risk-reward ratio is balanced by design. Upside is capped, but losses are limited—a sign of measured bullishness among institutional players rather than speculative mania.As regulatory clarity improves and ETF speculation intensifies, analysts say ETH may enter a “catch-up phase” relative to Bitcoin, with the $3,500–$6,000 options structure offering a strategic path for investors betting on that outcome.

On May 21, 2025, 06:28 AM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum has crossed the 2,600 USDT benchmark and is now trading at 2,605.129883 USDT, with a narrowed 2.67% increase in 24 hours.

Ethereum's price action is currently forming a bull flag pattern on the daily chart, characterized by a consolidation phase between $2,400 and $2,750 following a sharp rally from $1,900 to $2,730. This pattern typically indicates a continuation of the prior uptrend. A breakout above the $2,600 level could signal a move towards the $3,000 to $3,100 resistance zone, with a potential target of $3,600 if the pattern completes successfully.The 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) is providing support at the lower end of the current range. The relative strength index (RSI) has cooled from overbought levels, suggesting room for further upside if buying pressure resumes.Gaussian Channel Midline Reclamation as a Bullish IndicatorOn May 20, Ethereum attempted to reclaim the midline of the two-week Gaussian Channel, a technical indicator that adapts to market volatility to identify price trends. Historically, crossing above this midline has preceded significant rallies. For instance, in 2023, ETH surged 93% to $4,000 following a similar crossover, and in 2020, it experienced a 1,820% increase.However, it's important to note that this indicator is not infallible. A similar setup in August 2022 was invalidated during a market correction, underscoring the need for cautious interpretation.Additional Technical Indicators and Market SentimentA golden cross, where the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crosses above the 200-day SMA, has been observed on the 12-hour chart. While this is generally considered a bullish signal, its reliability is stronger on higher timeframes.Some analysts suggest that Ethereum may enter a range-bound environment if it fails to break above the $2,800 resistance level in the near term. Support levels are identified around $2,150 and $1,900, which could act as buffers against potential downside movements.Ethereum's current technical setup indicates a potential for significant upside if key resistance levels are breached and bullish indicators hold. However, traders should remain vigilant for signs of pattern invalidation and be prepared for possible range-bound price action in the short term, according to Cointelegraph.

According to BlockBeats, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed on social media his desire to increase Ethereum's gas limit by 10 to 100 times.

According to PANews, Whale Alert has reported that on May 21, at 10:07 AM UTC+8, the USDC Treasury address on the Ethereum blockchain destroyed 60 million USDC, equivalent to approximately $59.98 million.

According to Odaily, Ethereum's daily chart is forming a 'bull flag' pattern, with prices consolidating between $2,400 and $2,750. The target resistance is set between $3,000 and $3,100. A breakthrough above $2,600 could potentially lead to a rise towards $3,600. Additionally, Ethereum is attempting to reclaim the midline of the 2-week Gaussian Channel. Historically, ETH has seen significant increases above this indicator, such as a 93% rise to $4,000 in 2023 and a 1,820% surge in 2020. Despite a failure in August 2022, crypto trader Merlijn highlights the formation of a 'golden cross' between the 50-day SMA and the 200-day SMA, which may further strengthen ETH's breakout momentum. However, trader XO cautions that if ETH fails to break above $2,800 in the short term, it may enter a consolidation phase lasting several weeks. Short-term support levels are around $2,150 and $1,900.

According to PANews, a recent interview with Hsiao-Wei, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, has shed light on several key aspects of Ethereum's current development. Technologically, The Merge successfully transitioned Ethereum from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS), likened to changing an engine mid-flight, showcasing Ethereum's ability to upgrade its core architecture without downtime. Hsiao-Wei emphasized that the greatest challenge was not technical but involved 'integrating people'—coordinating developers, clients, and stakeholders. Organizationally, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) is undergoing significant functional differentiation and specialization. EF has been reorganized into three major business groups, with specific functions outsourced to external organizations like Etherealize, which focuses on interfacing with traditional finance and Wall Street. This division reflects Ethereum's ecosystem gradually moving towards a decentralized governance model. Financially, EF is exploring diverse management strategies beyond simple ETH sales, such as DeFi lending, staking, and asset tokenization, indicating a more mature financial approach. Hsiao-Wei noted that EF's coin sales are a necessity—about 75% of the foundation's expenses require fiat currency, explaining the need for sales even during unfavorable market conditions. Hsiao-Wei's candid perspective on the Ethereum Foundation's role is particularly thought-provoking. She stated, "If an organization within the community emerges that can replace EF's role, the foundation may scale down," indicating EF's willingness to relinquish power when appropriate. This contrasts sharply with other blockchain projects where founding teams often seek to expand their authority. Furthermore, Hsiao-Wei highlighted several promising future application trends, including identity, social design, and mini-program ecosystems, aligning with the current trend of Web3 permeating everyday applications.

According to PANews, Vitalik Buterin has released a research post suggesting adjustments to Ethereum's scaling roadmap to alleviate the impact of increasing the gas limit on individuals running full nodes. Buterin emphasized the importance of personal nodes not only for on-chain verification but also for local RPC data privacy and censorship resistance. His recommendations include accelerating the full implementation of EIP-4444, developing decentralized historical data storage, and adjusting the gas mechanism to increase the cost of new state storage. Additionally, he proposed a new model of 'partial stateless nodes,' allowing users to selectively save critical states, balancing storage efficiency with local privacy.
