Ethereum ($ETH) has officially climbed to a new high of $4,678, coming within striking distance of its previous record of $4,891 set on November 16, 2021. The recent rally marks another milestone for the second-largest cryptocurrency, as bullish momentum continues to dominate the market.
ETH/USD 4-hours chart - TradingView
The 4-hour ETH/USD chart shows a steep upward trajectory since early August, with price action surging past multiple resistance levels. Key highlights include:
With this momentum, ETH could attempt a push beyond $4,800 in the near term, setting the stage for fresh price discovery above the $5K mark.
The rally received an additional boost from institutional interest. In a major development, BlackRock has bought $318.7 million worth of $Ethereum, signaling continued confidence from one of the world’s largest asset managers. Institutional inflows like this not only strengthen market sentiment but also reduce available supply, further supporting upward price pressure.
Given the technical breakout, robust institutional demand, and positive market sentiment, Ethereum appears well-positioned to challenge — and potentially surpass — $5,000 in the coming days or weeks.
Should ETH secure a decisive close above $4,800, the move could trigger a new wave of buying, cementing its place in price discovery territory and marking another historic chapter for the asset.
