Ethereum (Cryptocurrency)
ETH: Buying in the DipCME: Micro Ether Futures ( CME:MET1! ), #microfutures
On May 22nd, #Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $111,814. The king of cryptos rallied as bullish sentiment built up behind the most pro-crypto U.S. administration. As of last Friday, bitcoin realized a one-year return of +90.8%. For comparison, holding S&P 500 only yields 11.8% for a year, even after the US stock index made its ATH last week.
Meanwhile, #Ethereum, second only to Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency world, experienced a dramatic decline in 2025. ETH is currently trading around $2,500, down 40% since December. It is a far cry from its ATH of $4,815 on November 9, 2021.
Why Is Ethereum (ETH) Falling?
The most significant challenge facing Ethereum is the proliferation of Layer 2 scaling solutions. Networks such as Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism were developed to address Ethereum's scalability issues, but they've created a revenue problem for the main chain.
When users conduct transactions on these Layer 2 networks, transaction fees flow to third-party organizations rather than to the Ethereum network itself. Revenue diversion has weakened Ethereum's economic model.
Ethereum could counter the revenue erosion by implementing a fee on Layer 2 transactions. However, it would undermine the very purpose of these networks. Layer 2 solutions were designed specifically to reduce transaction costs by processing operations off-chain and submitting only batched results to the main network. Adding fees would increase costs and diminish their competitive advantage.
Increased competition in the blockchain space has further eroded Ethereum’s dominance. Investors have been withdrawing funds from Ethereum and redirecting them to competing projects with potentially better returns or technological advantages.
Future Outlook
Ethereum’s path forward appears challenging. While the platform still hosts thousands of decentralized applications and maintains a large developer community, its economic model is under pressure from multiple directions. Without finding new ways to generate value, Ethereum may continue to lose market share to more nimble competitors.
The platform’s supporters point to upcoming technical improvements and the maturation of the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism as potential catalysts for recovery. The recent approval of staking enabled ETF for Ethereum in Hong Kong is one of the ways forward. However, with increasing competitive pressures, Ethereum faces an uphill battle to reclaim its former status as the undisputed leader in smart contract platforms.
While the future remains challenging, Ethereum still has upside potential at the current price level. As ETH dropped below $1,500 in April, bargain hunters came in to scoop it up. As a result, ETH had a spectacular rebound of 70% in the last three months, outrunning Bitcoin’s 25% gain for the same period.
There are over 17,000 cryptocurrencies in existence, according to Coin Gecko. However, only a handful of them have proven to have a lasting investment value. We could refer to Bitcoin and Ethereum as the digital form of Gold and Silver. Historical trend shows that the spike in gold prices would likely prompts investors to buy silver at a lower cost, helping maintain a stable Gold/Silver price ratio. The same could be true for the BTC/ETH relationship.
For extensive reading, please refer to my Editors’ Picks, The Gold-Silver Ratio Explained, published on TradingView on April 28th.
Recent regulations on #stablecoins in the US and Hong Kong are good news to the crypto space. It legitimates crypto offerings from mainstream financial institutions. Bitcoin is positioned for another big lift as investors reallocate assets into cryptos.
On July 4th, President Trump signed into law the “Big and Beautiful Bill”. Above all, this massive package funds deficit spending and raises the national debit by $5 trillion. While we will carry the debt burden for many years, in the short run, injecting huge liquidity into the economy and the financial market would pop up asset prices.
The latest CFTC Commitments of Traders report shows that, as of June 24th, the total open interest for Micro Ether futures are 128,500 contracts.
• Leverage Fund has 94,167 in long, 112,442 in short, and 1,854 in spreading
• The long-short ratio of 0.84 does not provide a good indication of what the “Smart Money” views about Ethereum.
In summary, I hold the view that ETH may regain ground above 3,300 before year end. Investors sharing this bullish view could explore CME’s Micro Ether Futures ( NYSE:MET ).
Long Futures with Stop Loss
Last Friday, the August Ether Futures contract (METQ5) was settled at 2,518. Each contract has a notional value of 0.1 ETH, or a market value of $251.8. To buy or sell 1 contract, a trader is required to post an initial margin of $84. The margining requirement reflects a built-in leverage of 3-to-1. It’s cost-effective to invest with CME MET futures, vs. buying ETH from the spot market.
Let’s use a hypothetical trade to illustrate how the long futures with stop loss strategy would compare with buying spot ETH.
Hypothetical Trade:
• Buy 1 METQ5 contract at 2,518, and set a stop loss at 2,400
• Trader pays $84 for initial margin
High Price Scenario: Ethereum rises to $3,000
• Futures gain will be $48.2 (= (3000-2518) x 0.1)
• Futures return will be +57.4% (= 48.2 / 84)
• This compares to a 19.1% for investing in spot ETH. (= (3000 /2518) – 1)
Low Price Scenario: Ethereum drops to $2,000
• Futures stop loss at 2,400, and the maximum loss is $11.8 (= (2518-2400) x 0.1)
• Futures return will be -14% (=11.8 /84)
• This compares to a 20.6% loss for investing in spot ETH. (= (2000 /2518) – 1)
The above scenarios show that
• When ETH goes up, futures will have higher returns due to its leverage nature.
• When ETH falls, the stoploss will kick in to reduce losses.
Happy Trading.

ETHUSD: Next Move Is Down! Short!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse ETHUSD together☺️
The in-trend continuation seems likely as the current long-term trend appears to be strong, and price is holding below a key level of 2,514.4 So a bearish continuation seems plausible, targeting the next low. We should enter on confirmation, and place a stop-loss beyond the recent swing level.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
BTC - Bullflag Pattern points to new ATHMarket Context
Bitcoin has been trading within a well-defined descending channel for several weeks now, respecting both upper and lower boundaries with precision (3 touches on the top, 2 on the bottom). This structure suggests an orderly pullback after a strong impulsive leg to the upside in Q2. As price compresses within this flag-like pattern, market participants are watching closely for signs of breakout or breakdown.
Bullish Fair Value Gap Reaction
Recently, price dipped into a Daily Fair Value Gap (FVG) and bounced strongly — a key bullish signal indicating that demand stepped in at the inefficiency. The FVG also aligns with a retest of the channel’s resistance-turned-support, further validating the bounce. This confluence zone acts as a springboard for potential continuation.
Channel Breakout & Liquidity Above ATH
Price has now broken above the channel structure, shifting the market narrative from consolidation to potential expansion. The breakout zone is located just beneath the All-Time High (ATH) — an area that’s likely loaded with stop orders and breakout buys. A sweep or clean break above the ATH would not only invalidate the prior bearish structure but also trigger a fresh wave of bullish momentum.
Bull Flag Continuation Potential
Structurally, this chart presents a classic bull flag breakout. After a strong impulsive leg up and a controlled consolidation phase, we now see bullish continuation potential toward the 112,000–114,000 region. If the ATH gets breached and reclaimed, it could become strong support in the next leg higher.
Final Thoughts
This is the type of setup that blends both technical precision and market psychology — structure, liquidity, and momentum all coming together. Whether you're already long or watching for confirmation, this move could set the tone for Bitcoin’s next major rally.

ADA/USDT : First Target Reached, Ready for Next ? (READ)By analyzing the #Cardano chart on the 3-day timeframe, we can see that the price is currently trading around $0.57. After reaching the first target at $0.61, a slight correction occurred, but ADA has managed to hold above the key support level of $0.55 — which is a significant sign of strength. As long as this level holds, we can expect further bullish continuation.
The next potential targets are $0.76, $0.93, $1.05, and $1.33.

Ethereum $5,791 followed by $8,500 Late 2025Ethereum is due a major, major bullish wave. No new highs since March 2024. Double-top December 2024.
The bear market ended June 2022. April 2025 marks a long-term higher low.
So the peak remains flat, March 2024 vs December 2024. While the bottom is rising, June 2022 vs April 2025.
You could say the top is a lower high of course, November 2021 vs 2024. This is also valid. Even with a lower high top a bullish wave is due leading to a minimum of around $3,800 or $4,000; back to baseline.
Now, if we really want to talk about minimum because we really don't care about worst case scenario, the fundamentals are improving and everything is getting better, consider $5,791. This would be the minimum. With the Ethereum ETFs and the 2025 bull market, we then open up $8,500 and so on. Growth potential is unlimited and we will have to use our imagination. These numbers are good though and definitely a strong level where action will happen. You will see some resistance, some something going on when Ethereum reaches these numbers.
Ethereum is due a major, major bullish wave. It is not a question of "if," it is a question of "when." When will it happen? "If it happens?" No! When, will it happen?
It will happen in 2025. You can be certain about it... Just watch!
....
Ethereum (ETHUSDT) has been consolidating two months above support. Support being $2,425. One week it broke below this level just to recover the next week. More than 8 weeks sideways wicking lower and higher.
The 7-April low, candle and rounded bottom, as well as long-term higher low makes this date a clear bottom. From the bottom we grow. Once the bottom is hit, the trend changes. The trend has been bearish since March 2024. A long time in Crypto term. We are in the bull market year, 2025. What is not happening now, is what will happen next.
The market was bearish for a long time and that's ok. The good news are the waves within cycles... We just came out of a strong correction; we have a small recovery and consolidation. The initial breakout is being consolidated before additional growth.
Lots of thinking, lots of reasoning, lots of studying... Everything you need to know is already present on the chart. Ethereum will grow. Mark by words. It is already happening.
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.

ETH could be about to rip into a short-term rallyWhile the stock market has seen surprising upside in the past weeks (presumably due to pricing in rate cuts / a more positive liquidity picture / high expectations for Q2), crypto has lagged behind. I don't believe anything significantly above current prices - no matter in which market - is sustainable for now, but we can certainly milk it for whatever it's worth.
Notably, BTC has shown way more resilience and dominance in the current cycle so far. This makes sense in a high interest environment. However, within the bias of the markets pricing in expectations for rate cuts and as such more liquidity, we could also assume that demand for assets other than "safe havens" would now increase as well, leading us to the biased conclusion that we could see altcoins wildly outperforming BTC over the next weeks.
Indeed, if we look at the BTC chart, technicals such as VWAP stddevs show significantly less potential for upside if compared to ETH in the current moment in time. We therefore would focus on ETH at this point (as money flow seems to cycle BTC->ETH->Others).

BTC - Will the Bearish Channel continue?Market Context
After a strong impulsive rally earlier in the year, BTC has been trading within a descending channel on the daily timeframe. This corrective structure suggests a period of consolidation and redistribution, as price oscillates between the channel's boundaries. The repeated rejection from the upper trendline and the inability to break through key highs reinforce the bearish bias in this structure.
Buy Side Liquidity Sweep Potential
Price is currently positioned just beneath a relatively clean swing high, sitting above the mid-range of the channel. This high represents a clear area of Buy Side Liquidity—stop losses from short positions and pending breakout orders from longs are likely clustered there. An engineered sweep of this high would serve as a strategic move for larger participants to collect liquidity before driving price lower.
Fair Value Gap as a Pivot Point
Beneath current price lies a Fair Value Gap—a visible inefficiency formed during a fast upward move earlier in the structure. This Gap remains unfilled and offers a compelling target for price once the Buy Side Liquidity Sweep occurs. It represents a logical zone for price to rebalance before deciding on continuation or reversal. Should price break below the Gap cleanly, it would confirm the bearish intent and potentially accelerate toward the lower bounds of the channel.
Channel Continuation Structure
The overall geometry of the channel remains intact, and the price respecting both upper and lower boundaries strengthens the likelihood of a continuation toward the downside. If the Buy Side Liquidity Sweep and subsequent rejection occur, the market could be poised for another leg lower—possibly seeking the next structural support closer to 90,000 or even toward the lower extremities of the channel around 80,000–82,000.
Final Thoughts
This chart reflects classic price delivery behavior: corrective structure, engineered liquidity sweeps, and the magnetic pull of inefficiencies like Fair Value Gaps. Whether you’re actively trading or simply observing, this is a clean, educational setup to learn from.
If this breakdown helped you see the market a bit clearer, I’d really appreciate a like. And feel free to share your thoughts or counterviews in the comments—your insights make the analysis even more valuable.
Ethereum: Eyeing New Highs?Ethereum has surged recently and continues rising in turquoise wave B. The next target is a break above the June high, with potential upside to resistance at $4,107. A direct breakout above this level (27% probability) would suggest green wave alt. ended in April. However, our main scenario expects a reversal below $4,107, with turquoise wave C likely dragging ETH into the Long Target Zone between $935.82 and $494.15 to complete wave .

Crypto Tide Rising: Will TOTAL Market Cap surf past $5T?In November 2024 the crypto ocean was calm, hovering near $2.25T . Then, in a short time, fresh capital poured in, daily volume spiked, and the tide lifted us to $3.65T by mid-December .
Two bullish buoys popped up:
▶️ The daily down-trend snapped on Nov 4th, triggering a 51 % climb;
▶️ The 50-day MA (orange) crossed above the 200-day MA (white) on Nov 7th, after a 64 % rally.
Fast-forward to June 4th 2025 . Another Golden Cross has just flashed, and price is again nudging that descending trend-line. If History rhymes: the line breaks and momentum matches 2024’s move, the TOTAL MC could vault toward $5T .
Keeping today’s dominance ratios, that target implies roughly $162 k BTC and $3.8 k ETH . Add rising Global M2 and stablecoin liquidity, a supportive macro backdrop, and we may be staring at the next great crypto swell.
Will the market catch this wave or will macro headwinds keep the tide in check?
