Spot Ethereum ETF Volume Surpasses $3.1 Billion Today

This bull cycle has been a unique one as it surpassed the previous bull cycle in terms of interest from financial institutions. Last bull cycle, it was mostly just Michael Saylor’s Strategy, then known as MicroStrategy, that was heavily accumulating BTC alongside El Salvador, led by the Presidential leadership of Nayib Bukele. Their BTC accumulation brought in significant gains after their purchase, igniting global interest from financial institutions to enter the crypto accumulation race. 

However, this bull cycle brought in more than the usual BTC accumulation. With the introduction of spot ETFs for both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), several reputed financial institutions began to accumulate both BTC and ETH. In fact, the largest asset manager in the world, BlackRock, began to accumulate more ETH over BTC, showing great promise for the price of ETH to pump and hit greater ATH prices this bull cycle.

Meanwhile, analysts grow more eager than ever to see ETH hit new ATH prices soon. Presently, ETH price is moving closer to its cycle highs, and the current Daily RSI is the highest it has been this cycle. This does not mean an immediate reversal has to occur, as it can remain overheated for some time. Additionally, RSI can even go down as the price makes new highs (divergence). 

The analyst concludes that it is good to be aware of when some of these indicators start flashing these signals. The analyst says this can be a reason to be more wary of long entries and instead be a bit more patient and wait for a cooldown or flush of leverage first. Finally, he states that sometimes, just a week of consolidation can already do the trick to partially reset a lot of these metrics.
