Long-Term Channel Points Toward Five Digits<\/h2>\n
Merlijn The Trader described<\/a> Ethereum\u2019s price structure as a \u201cladder<\/em>,\u201d where each breakout sets a higher base for the next rally. He pointed to three major steps: the $1,440 peak in 2018, the $4,400\u2013$4,800 highs in 2021, and the recent breakout above $4,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n His chart shows ETH moving inside a long-term ascending channel with projected targets at $6,500, $8,000, and $10,000. \u201cIgnore the fear. Five-digit Ethereum is inevitable,<\/em>\u201d he said, noting that the $4,000 retest may now act as solid support.<\/p>\n IncomeSharks presented a trading plan based on staged selling, where 10% exits are placed at different resistance levels. The chart presents ETH crashing down from above $4,600 and retaking support at $4,000, considered another \u201cfakeout<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n $ETH<\/a> \u2013 Selling another 10% to make sure we see $5k in Pumptober. pic.twitter.com\/WIJgy16x4M<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 IncomeSharks (@IncomeSharks) September 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The strategy aims to protect profits while keeping exposure for upside. IncomeSharks suggested seasonal strength in October\u2014often dubbed \u201cPumptober<\/em>\u201d\u2014could support a run toward $5,000 if the reclaimed support holds.<\/p>\n CryptoJack posted a weekly view showing ETH consolidating above the $3,800\u2013$4,000 zone, which previously acted as resistance and is now seen as support. He highlighted Ethereum\u2019s earlier breakout from a descending broadening wedge, noting that the recent pullback looks like standard consolidation.<\/p>\n #ETH<\/a> still looks bullish \ud83d\udca5<\/p>\n Funding is negative, fear is high, massive liquidations happening.<\/p>\n But soon, the market will show its true strength pic.twitter.com\/O2rn9ZAXzs<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 CryptoJack (@cryptojack) October 1, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n These conditions often mark oversold markets that can rebound if support holds. His chart points to possible targets between $6,000 and $6,500 if buying pressure returns.<\/p>\n Funding rates are the positives, with the aggregated level at 0.0121. It signals an increasing demand for long positions in derivatives, yet, on the flip side, a sharp rise in funding can point toward potential short-term corrections.<\/p>\n Cas Abb\u00e9 reported<\/a> that Ethereum has now surpassed Bitcoin in the percentage of supply held by digital asset treasury companies. Treasuries hold 4% of ETH compared to 3% of BTC.<\/p>\n \u201cIt seems like ETH has become the new institutional favourite,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Meanwhile, an increase in treasury holdings indicates a growing appreciation of Ethereum as an institutional asset. With technical strength still above $4,000, analysts are wondering if ETH can continue climbing this ladder toward higher targets set in the channel.<\/p>\n LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/a>
