Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,820, up 1.74% in 24 hours, approaching the $4,000 psychological barrier with robust bullish momentum, per bitcoinethereumnews.com. The price surged past $3,800 and $3,840 resistance levels, peaking at $3,904, and is consolidating above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the $3,515–$3,904 move, per CryptosNewss.com. A bullish trend line on the hourly ETH/USD chart, supported by the 100-hourly SMA, confirms buyer control, per Kraken data. The rally, mirroring Bitcoin (BTC)’s strength ($123,091, up 3.2%), is driven by $2.18B in ETH ETF inflows, corporate treasury adoption (e.g., SharpLink Gaming’s 360,807 ETH, $1.3B), and the Pectra upgrade’s staking yield boost, per coindesk.com and fxleaders.com. X posts from @MerlijnTrader note exchange reserves at a 5-year low (19.3M ETH), signaling a supply squeeze, while @CryptoMichNL highlights ETH’s 72% outperformance over BTC since April, per cryptopotato.com.
The altcoin rally is driven by strong fundamentals and market dynamics:
Bitcoin (BTC) dominance dropped from 65.85% to 62.69%, with a bearish MACD crossover and ADX at 30.59 confirming altcoin trend strength, per ccn.com. High stablecoin reserves ($31B on Binance) and low BTC exchange balances suggest “dry powder” for altcoin buys, per beincrypto.com.
A “buy the dip” approach is viable given the macro bullish trend. Short-term corrections to ETH ($3,600–$3,675), SOL ($180), or XLM ($0.50) are buying opportunities, per coinomedia.com. USDT.D’s potential drop to 3.5% by Q4 2025, per ainvest.com, could push TOTAL2 to $1.65T, per ccn.com. The Fear & Greed Index at 73 (Greed) and a 6% crypto market cap rise to $2.84T reflect risk-on sentiment, per beincrypto.com. However, risks include:
Volatility: Whale profit-taking, as seen with ENA ($6.46M sell-off), could trigger dips, per fxempire.com.
Verify USDT.D trends and altcoin volume on CoinGlass or Dune Analytics before trading. The altseason looks promising, but stay cautious of overbought signals (e.g., ETH RSI at 82.66).
