- Ethereum (ETH) price rose 8.8% in a week with momentum building.
- BlackRock’s ETHA has helped drive new spot inflows from ETFs.
- The next major resistance level for Ethereum remains $2,000.
Ethereum extended its recent rebound, rising above the $1,900 level and refocusing on the $2,000 mark.
The recovery comes after several weeks of improving price action, renewed institutional interest, and technical signals indicating that the bulls have regained control in the short term.
At press time, Ethereum was trading at $1,942.56, up 4.2% over the past 24 hours.
The cryptocurrency has risen 8.8% over the past seven days, 9.7% over the past two weeks, and 12.3% over the past month, highlighting a steady recovery after months of poor performance.
Technical momentum is increasing as ETH approaches key resistance
Ethereum’s recent rally has brought it close to an important technical area.
the The cryptocurrency briefly traded just below $1,947leaving it just a few dollars away from testing the upper limit of its 24-hour range.
Many technical indicators have turned more positive during the recent rally.
ETH has moved above the 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), a development that often reflects improving short-term momentum.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) rose near 70, indicating strong buying activity while also indicating that traders may be watching for increased volatility if the rally accelerates.
According to cryptocurrency analyst Javon Marks, Ethereum has also broken above a long-term downtrend line.
Marks believes the breakout could mark the early stages of a broader recovery if buyers can defend recently restored support levels.

The first major resistance area is now between $1950 and $2150.
A sustained move through that area would reinforce the bullish structure and shift attention towards higher technical targets.
Outside that area, analysts are monitoring additional resistance levels around $2,501, $2,970, and $3,349.
These levels must be cleared before Ethereum can challenge stronger resistance near $3,728, $4,108, and eventually its previous all-time high of $4,946.05, which was set in August 2025.
ETF inflows and institutional accumulation are supporting the recovery
The recent price gains have coincided with renewed institutional demand for Ethereum.
US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have returned to positive net inflows after a long period of outflows.
Among the largest contributors was BlackRock’s ETHA fund, adding to signs that institutional investors are once again allocating capital to Ethereum.
Corporate treasury activity also remained a focus.
BitMine added another 7,430 ETH during the last reporting period.
Although this represented its smallest weekly purchase since adopting an Ethereum treasury strategy, the slowdown was linked to the company getting closer to its stated goal of controlling approximately 5% of the circulating supply of Ethereum rather than changing its investment strategy.
BitMine now holds approximately 5.777 million ETH, which represents approximately 4.8% of the current supply. About 85% of those holdings are wagered, generating an estimated $247 million in annual wagering bonuses.
The company also shifted a portion of its capital allocation toward a $4 billion stock buyback program, while maintaining its long-term position in Ethereum.

Ethereum price forecast
Technically, the $2,000 level remains the most important psychological barrier in the near term.
Analysts expect that this level may require several attempts before a decisive breakthrough occurs.
On the downside, traders are keeping an eye on the $1,900 area as a first layer of support, with the $1,879 area and the recent intraday low near $1,854 serving as additional levels that could determine whether the current uptrend remains intact.
The broader long-term outlook also continues to attract attention.
Marks previously identified potential upside targets of $5,000, $8,500, and $12,000 if Ethereum maintains its long-term market structure and successfully clears successive resistance levels.
Another long-term artistic projection It places a potential target near $6,941, although reaching that level will require ETH to overcome multiple resistance areas over time.
But for now, the direct focus on Ethereum remains much closer.
After reclaiming the $1,900 level and trading near $1,942, the next test for buyers is whether the cryptocurrency can achieve a sustained move above $2,000, supported by improving technical momentum, renewed demand for ETFs, and continued institutional participation.
