🚨 ETHEREUM PECTRA – A CHANCE FOR A PRICE REVERSAL OR A “SELL-THE-NEWS” SCAM?

🧩In less than 24 hours, Ethereum will officially activate the Pectra upgrade – the biggest event since The Merge. However, with ETH prices still struggling to surpass $2,000 USD, many investors are wondering: Will Pectra be the catalyst for a trend reversal, or will it repeat the disappointment seen after previous events?

📉 What is the market pricing?

📌 ETH is still stuck in the $1,950–$2,000 USD range, having bounced back quite well from the lows below $1,500.

📌 However, some positive signals are beginning to form:

- The number of validators withdrawing from the network has sharply decreased since early May – reaching a one-month low. This reflects the long-term confidence of ETH stake nodes.

- The funding rate is continuously positive (currently: +0.0027%), indicating that future traders are still betting on upward momentum.

- Bollinger Bands on the ETH/BTC pair are narrowing – similar to the period before the breakout in June 2020 → which could signal significant volatility ahead.

⚠️ The risk of “sell the news” is still present: History shows that major upgrades (like The Merge) usually come with high expectations, but then prices adjust according to "sell the news".

🔍 Pectra is not a miracle; it is almost impossible to expect prices to skyrocket immediately after a successful upgrade. However, the quietly accumulating signals are reinforcing the upward trend, and if combined with a favorable macro environment (the Fed continues to lower interest rates, BTC sideways, and capital flowing from BTC to altcoins), ETH could very well surge significantly in the remaining time of 2025, especially as the ETHBTC and ETHUSDT pairs have reached important support areas on a monthly basis.
