Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Surges 27% as ETF Inflows and Technical Breakouts Signal Bullish Momentum

Ethereum is experiencing a notable rise in global interest, with search volume surging in key markets such as the UAE, New Zealand, India, Australia, and the United States since mid-July. This spike in attention, while not a direct indicator of buying pressure, typically precedes significant price movements. Over the past week, ETH has risen by 27%, trading near $4,618, having surpassed $4,600 [1]. Analysts have noted a technical breakout from a four-year inverse Head and Shoulders pattern, a formation that—if confirmed—could signal a long-term bullish trend toward $22,000 [1].

Institutional demand is further fueling the momentum. Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $523.9 million in net inflows on August 12, with BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH leading the inflow surge. This follows a record $1.02 billion influx the previous day, indicating strong confidence from professional investors [1]. If the $4,500 support level holds and inflows remain consistent, Ethereum could be well-positioned to test the $5,000 threshold in the near term [1].

Technical indicators are also aligning with the bullish narrative. Ethereum’s MACD lines are deeply positive, and the RSI is at 74, suggesting strong buying pressure. These conditions point toward a potential break above the $4,800 resistance level and the possibility of setting a new all-time high [5]. Some analysts project a medium-term target of $6,000 [5], while the ChatGPT-5 AI model outlines a base-case price range of $4,500–$4,800 for September [3].

Market sentiment is being amplified by the Ethereum Fear and Greed Index, which tracks 10 unique data algorithms to gauge emotional shifts in the market [6]. Although the index does not directly forecast price levels, it highlights heightened investor enthusiasm that often precedes significant price action. The surge in ETH-related trading volume and growing institutional appetite have also contributed to broader market optimism [5].

However, traders remain cautious. Should the market trend turn bearish, Ethereum may face a near-term test at the $4,182 support level [5]. While the 2021 peak of $4,891 remains within sight, the path to $5,000 will depend on sustained institutional inflows, continued technical strength, and the ability to hold key support levels [1].
