Ethereum Surges Toward $4K: 50% Monthly Rally Defies Market Gravity

Ethereum isn't just climbing—it's moonwalking past resistance levels while traditional finance pundits scramble to explain the 'irrational' rally. The $4,000 psychological barrier now looks like a speed bump rather than a ceiling.

Gas fees up, doubts down

Network activity suggests this isn't just speculative froth—unless you count Wall Street 'experts' still waiting for their 'regulated crypto ETFs' to catch up to the action.

The FOMO is real

Retail traders are piling in, proving once again that decentralized networks move faster than SEC approval timelines. Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are quietly recalculating their 'flippening' spreadsheets.

This isn't just a rally—it's a middle finger to 'mature markets' that still can't tell a smart contract from a futures contract. The only thing rising faster than ETH's price? The blood pressure of hedge fund managers shorting 'that internet money.'

What’s Pushing Ethereum Towards $4000?

ETH’s latest rally comes amid a market-wide rebound. Bitcoin (BTC) has reclaimed the $116,000 price point. The global crypto market cap is also inching closer to the $4 trillion mark. The rally is likely due to President Trump allowing retirement funds to invest in crypto assets.

President TRUMP is also actively pushing for an interest rate cut. Trump has placed a close aide on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Many anticipate a rate cut in September 2025. Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup anticipate a 25 basis point rate cut next month. The move could lead to ETH and other cryptocurrencies witnessing increased inflows.

ETH’s rally is also likely fuelled by consistent ETF inflows. BlackRock and other financial institutions have bought substantial amounts of ETH over the last few months. Corporate treasuries are also hoarding up on ETH and BTC.

According to CoinCodex ETH analysts, ethereum will breach the $4000 mark on Aug. 11. The platform anticipates ETH to continue rallying over the coming months. CoinCodex predicts ETH to hit a new all-time high of $6353.11 on Oct. 19 of this year. Hitting $6353.11 from current price levels will entail a rally of about 62.74%.

There is also a chance that ETH will face a correction over the next few days. Global trade wars and economic uncertainty may present considerable challenges to the crypto market. Tariffs have had many consequences for the stock and crypto markets. How things unfold is yet to be seen.
