Ethereum News Today: Ethereum jumps 19% as ETF inflows and Stochastic RSI signal bullish shift

Ethereum surged past $4,000 in early August 2025, fueled by robust inflows into Ethereum-based ETFs and a rare technical signal suggesting a potential shift in market dynamics. On August 8, Ethereum ETFs recorded $461 million in net inflows, a significant reversal from the previous month’s $100 million outflows. This surge was led by major players like BlackRock and Fidelity, with ETHA and FETH being the top performers [3].

The momentum was further supported by a rare Stochastic RSI (Stoch RSI) crossover above the 50 level, an event that has historically preceded major price rallies. According to historical data from CrypFlow, similar crossovers in 2017, 2019, and 2023 were followed by gains of 9,000%, 2,200%, and 115%, respectively [1]. This is the second such crossover within the current cycle, making it a rare and bullish signal. Ethereum’s price climbed past $4,186, with weekly gains exceeding 19% [3].

The ETH/BTC ratio also showed signs of strength, rebounding from a multi-year support level as Bitcoin dominance retreated. This shift indicates a capital rotation from Bitcoin to Ethereum, a trend often associated with broader altcoin strength. The Altcoin Season Index, currently at 43, remains neutral, but the rising ETH/BTC and falling BTC dominance suggest that altcoins are gaining relative strength. Such conditions have historically preceded larger market rallies [3].

Institutional demand for Ethereum is evident in the ETF flows, with lower-cost ETFs attracting most of the inflows. In contrast, Grayscale’s ETHE continued to see outflows, attributed to its higher 2.50% fee [3]. The positive flows reinforce liquidity support for Ethereum’s upward move, aligning with the broader technical and market sentiment.

While the price action is largely driven by technical and speculative factors, analysts have emphasized that the current levels are being supported by strong inflows and positive sentiment. The future trajectory will depend on how these conditions evolve in the coming weeks [2].

Ethereum’s recent performance highlights a shift in market dynamics, with institutional capital and technical indicators pointing toward potential growth. If the momentum continues, the market may be entering a new phase of the cycle, making it crucial for investors to monitor developments closely [3].
