Ethereum isn’t just climbing—it’s rewriting the rules of gravity. While traditional markets wobble on Fed whispers, ETH barrels past $4,000 like Wall Street’s algorithms forgot to short it.

The gas-free miracle

Post-Merge upgrades keep slashing transaction costs, leaving BTC maximalists scrambling to explain why their ’digital gold’ moves at dial-up speeds.

Institutions FOMO-ing hard

BlackRock’s ETH ETF approval triggered a stampede of suits into DeFi—watching hedge funds ape into NFT loans is the schadenfreude retail hodlers deserve.

As ETH flirts with its 2025 ATH, one question remains: when will the ’serious investors’ admit crypto runs on internet mob psychology instead of their precious discounted cash flow models?

Ethereum Price Surges And Clears $2,500

Are Dips Limited In ETH?

If ethereum fails to clear the $2,550 resistance, it could start a fresh downside correction. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,470 level. The first major support sits near the $2,440 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,272 swing low to the $2,606 high.
