Ether almost recovered more than 70% from the April low, which probably signaled the end of a 10-week bear market that ended on April 9 at a low of $1,385. Over $450 million in short ETH futures positions were liquidated, indicating that market makers and whales were shocked.

 

Traders have remained neutral in ETH derivatives despite the spike.

It is unclear whether the lack of conviction indicates a true trend reversal or signals the start of another test of the $2,000 level. However, they have contributed significantly to establishing Ethereum as the top platform in decentralization and security.

Whether this is evident, some analysts see it as a chance for more short covering, while others argue that Ethereum’s fundamentals haven’t significantly improved yet. Ethereum continues to lead the decentralization space. Recent network improvements have improved layer-2 scalability, regardless of Ether’s price movement.

Ethereum’s most recent achievement: the Pectra upgrade went live, bringing cutting-edge features like account abstraction that streamline user interactions on the blockchain. This update makes Ethereum easier to use for wider acceptance.

Ethereum’s price saw a dramatic 20% increase, surpassing $2,500 on Friday. The strategic withdrawal of $116 million worth of Ethereum from exchanges by Abraxas Capital highlights the increasing interest in Ethereum among institutional investors.

The ETH options market shows whether market makers and whales expect more negative risks. Put (sell) and equivalent call (buy) options are trading at comparable levels, suggesting a neutral outlook. Ether bulls are a little disheartened by this result.

However, after US President Donald Trump changed his mind after publicly endorsing rival altcoins in the past, Ether might once again attract market attention.
