The <a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/ethereum-eth-price-prediction/">Ethereum price prediction</a> shows a forming trend above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), a bullish sign. This indicator offers strong support for the price action, suggesting that investors may not see ETH drop below $3,700. 
Additionally, the $3,700 level has proven to be robust support, having been tested three times in the past nine days. Although the Ethereum price briefly touched the 50% Fibonacci (fib) retracement level (blue circle), it quickly rebounded. 
The ETH price action is currently ranging between the 0 and 0.23 Fibonacci retracement levels, and a breakout above this range could propel the asset towards the 0.27 Fibonacci extension level, setting the price around $4,260. 
Conversely, in a downside scenario, the 200-day moving average offers strong support around $3,390, aligning with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. Furthermore, the current range is part of a larger chart structure on the Ethereum 4-hour chart—the bullish pennant. 
If this market structure remains intact, a breakout could lead to a rally of up to $5,052, representing a 27% increase. 
<h2 id="blackrock-files-s-1-registration-for-spot-ethereum-etf">BlackRock Files S-1 Registration for Spot Ethereum ETF</h2> 
<a href="https://coingape.com/blackrock-submits-a-revised-s-1-form-for-its-spot-ethereum-etf/">BlackRock</a>, the world’s largest asset management firm, has filed an S-1 registration statement for its Spot Ethereum ETF with the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2000638/000143774924018610/iset20240522_s1a.htm">SEC</a>. Initially, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission approved the 19-4b form, which, while bullish, remains contestable. 
BlackRock has a track record of success with ETF applications to the SEC, including the highly controversial one for Bitcoin. It is anticipated that this winning streak will continue with Ethereum.

Conversely, Vanguard, another major asset management firm, has explicitly chosen not to pursue Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs, citing a conflict of interest. 
As Ethereum’s price consolidates, it awaits the potential approval of BlackRock’s S-1, which could significantly impact the broader crypto market. If approved, the BlackRock Ethereum Spot ETF will trade under the ticker ‘ETHA’. 
<h2 id="bottom-line">Bottom Line</h2> 
Relying on BlackRock’s impressive winning streak with the SEC, the markets anticipate an S-1 approval and ETH ETF trading by the end of June or early July. As the news unfolds, investors are closely monitoring ETH price charts to identify the best entry opportunities for maximum gains.
