It remains 217% above the lowest level in April, and its strong fundamentals and technicals point to a 55% surge</p>
<p>American institutional and retail investors continued accumulating Ethereum this week. <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-eth-spot" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SoSoValue data</a> shows that these funds added $2.8 billion, much higher than Bitcoin’s (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) $547 million.

<p>The daily timeframe chart shows that ETH price has been on a bullish momentum after bottoming in April. This surge happened as the ETF inflows and ecosystem growth gained momentum.&nbsp;</p>
<p>ETH formed a golden cross in July, confirming the bullish momentum. Most importantly, it formed a cup-and-handle pattern with a depth of 68%.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Measuring the same distance from the cup’s upper side yields a target of $6,840, which is approximately 55% above the current level.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, in the near term, Ethereum price will likely retest the support at $4,110 and then bounce back. This pattern is known as a break-and-retest. It occurs when an asset breaks out above a crucial resistance level, retests it, and then resumes its bullish trend.&nbsp;</p>
