Spot

The bullish path is clearing out for Ethereum to ascend above $4,000 and close in on the previous all-time highs. This bullish outlook sets the scene for the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs this week. Based on the current Ethereum price analysis, support at $3,400 is crucial for the continuation of the uptrend despite the whales’ strange activities over the last two weeks.

The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) unveiled last week that five spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will start trading on the platform on July 23 with the only condition being “pending regulatory effectiveness.”
In May, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) licensed rule changes allowing the exchanges to list several spot <a href="https://coingape.com/mt-gox-set-for-large-bitcoin-repayment-ahead-ethereum-etf-launch/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum ETFs</a>. Despite the achievement,&nbsp; the agency needed time to sign off on all the operators’ S-1 registration documents.
Following last week’s developments, the list of the spot ETH ETFs expected to start trading on Tuesday includes Franklin Ethereum ETF, 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF, VanEck Ethereum ETF, Fidelity Ethereum Fund, and Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF.
In preparation for the live trading, Ether ETF issuers have announced a raft of measures including temporarily waving and discounting fees to gain the first mover advantage.
It has been estimated the Ethereum ETFs will attract fund inflows in billions over the next few months. With such a trend, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum price</a> could gain tracking taking out the $4,000 resistance in the quest for a new record high above $5,000.
Meanwhile, Ethereum whales seem to preparing for a sell-the-news event considering noticeable blockchain activity in the last 9 days. According to Spot On Chain, two large-volume investors transferred 25,865 ETH worth approximately $89 million to centralized exchanges (CEXs).
The first investor whose address starts with 0xbec moved 11,965 ETH to Binance worth around $41.4 million at an exchange rate of $3,457. This whale currently holds 51,462 or $180 million, sitting on $29.9 million in profit.
Another whale, the multisign 0x7d6 transferred 13,900 ETH to OKX, worth roughly $47.6 million at an exchange rate of $3,427. This whale holds 188,070 ETH approximately $657 million spread across 2 wallets.

Increasing exchange deposits often signal incoming selling pressure. Investors transfer their holdings to exchanges intending to sell and what better time to offload the <a href="https://coingape.com/combined-spot-btc-eth-and-sol-etf-underway-says-nate-geraci/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a> than post ETF launch?
Therefore, Ethereum price analysis would help assess the future of the second-largest cryptocurrency—whether traders should expect a sell-the-news event or a breakout past $4,000.

The yellow band highlights the barrier that bulls must overcome to launch <a href="https://coingape.com/price-predictions/ethereum-eth-price-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH price forecast</a> toward $4,000. Traders would be looking for support above this level and a daily close to ascertain the uptrend’s continuation.
Should whales counter the Ethereum ETF launch, support areas at $3,400 (the grey band) and $3,200 would function as liquidity sources for a stronger rebound to achieve new record highs.
