Ethereum Eyes $3,000 After Breaching $2,400 Resistance on Record ETF Inflows

Key Facts

1The Ethereum network saw a 56.9% increase in on-chain transfers.

2Buyers are firmly defending the $2,200 support level, keeping the bullish outlook largely intact.

Ethereum surged 9% within 24 hours to break past the $2,400 level, outperforming the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. This rally was bolstered by BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) acquiring 71,524 ETH, marking its largest single purchase since last December. The momentum coincides with a broader market recovery as Bitcoin approaches $75,000 following a 5% gain, effectively reversing losses from Sunday's selloff. Technical indicators like the MVRV Ratio continue to suggest a strong fundamental floor, mirroring previous cycle bottoms. Analysts maintain a primary target of $3,000 for ETH, supported by record spot ETF inflows and significant exchange withdrawals. Institutional accumulation and DeFi growth remain the core drivers for the current bullish trajectory.
