Ether could extend rally if it closes above $3k resistance; check forecast image 0

Key takeaways

ETH is up 8% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading above $3k.
The coin could rally towards the $3,700 resistance if the daily candles close above $3k.

Ether hits $3k following strong ETF and treasury inflow

Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, was one of the best performers among the top 10 cryptocurrencies. As Bitcoin was hitting a new all-time high above $118k, Ether was topping the $3k resistance level.

At press time, the price of Ether stands at $3,001, up 7.7% in the last 24 hours. The positive performance comes thanks to strong buying pressure across ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and crypto treasury companies.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas revealed on Thursday that US spot Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows of $211.32 million on Wednesday, marking four consecutive days of positive flows totaling $468.63 million.

According to the analyst, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF (ETHA) has recorded over $800 million in daily volumes in the past two days, 4x its average.

“Given the price is also up, prob see some chunky flows next couple of days. Decent chance to break single-day record of $292m,” he added.

ETH eyes $3,700 as bullish bias grows

The ETH/USD 4-hour chart is bullish but inefficient, suggesting that the pair could sweep liquidity to the downside before continuing its rally. The technical indicators are bullish, suggesting a strong buying bias.

The RSI of 86 shows that Ether is currently heading into the overbought region. The MACD lines are also within the positive zone, with buyers firmly in control of the market. The pair also shows rising green histogram bars above its neutral zero line, suggesting bullish momentum is gaining traction and continuing an upward trend.

If ETH closes above the $3k resistance, it could extend its rally and target the next daily resistance at $3,700. If the rally continues, ETH could surpass the high of $4,100 achieved in December 2024.

However, if ETH faces a rejection at the $3k resistance, it could retest the support and ILQ level at $2,770 in the coming hours.

U.S. mortgage rates are experiencing a sharp upward surge. In just over a month, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has climbed by a full percentage point, reaching above 7.5%, the highest level in three years. As a result, homebuyer demand has plummeted, and existing home sales in September are expected to show a significant decline.

Bank of America Hartnett: Interest rate hikes become the biggest bullish factor, the logic of ending the bond bubble is spreading

Bank of America strategist Hartnett has made a counterintuitive assessment: the most favorable event for the stock market before the end of the year would be for the Federal Reserve to proactively raise interest rates in October—using a tightening move to curb the out-of-control long end. If the Fed proves its willingness to control inflation and term premium through an October rate hike, the market may actually stop worrying about the 10-year yield surging toward 6%, thereby easing pressure on stocks. Currently, while US stocks have not yet been brought down by interest rates, cracks are quietly spreading in South Korean brokers, French government bonds, and CCC-rated credit bonds.

Goldman Sachs chart: "Gasoline prices determine the US midterm election"! Prediction market shows "Democrats have a 65% chance of sweeping both chambers"

A recent report from Goldman Sachs shows that the Iran war caused oil prices to surge from $3 to $5 per gallon, while the Democratic Party's lead in the general ballot simultaneously expanded from 5 to 9 percentage points—two trends that closely align. Goldman Sachs believes that Hurricane Isaias, once again impacting 63% of offshore capacity in the Gulf of Mexico, has made oil prices a true "ballot decider." Bank of America warns that if the Senate sweeps both chambers, it will trigger significant risk aversion, potentially causing the stock market to plunge by over 10% and weakening the US dollar.
