Major good news for the Ethereum market! Despite the quiet trading during the holidays, Ethereum's exchange-traded fund (ETF) recorded a net inflow of $2.1 billion in December, setting a historical high. This trend not only boosts market confidence but also provides important support for Ethereum's rebound in the next two years.
ETF inflow explosion: Is Ethereum welcoming the prelude to a bull market?
According to Farside Investors data, the net inflow of Ethereum ETFs in December reached $2.1 billion, more than double that of November. Since the ETH ETF first started trading on July 23, 2024, in just five months, cumulative inflows have surpassed $2.5 billion. This strong growth reflects institutional investors' long-term confidence in Ethereum.
However, despite record inflows, the price of Ethereum is currently in a downtrend. As of the time of writing, its price is $3,353, with a monthly decline of 8.4%. This performance has also allowed some savvy traders to seize shorting opportunities—a high-leverage player made a profit of $1.1 million from shorting ETH in just two days, a classic case of reverse operation.
$3,500 becomes a key resistance level: Is a liquidation storm imminent?
The biggest challenge facing Ethereum currently is breaking through the key resistance of $3,500. According to CoinGlass data, if the ETH price successfully breaks this level, it will trigger over $1 billion in leveraged short liquidations, potentially forming strong bullish momentum.
Famous cryptocurrency analyst TMV optimistically predicts in his X post that Ethereum is experiencing a new wave of 'accumulation,' with a target price set at $4,400. He stated:
"The fifth wave of accumulation is happening. Even if there is another pullback, I would still choose to buy, targeting $4,400!"
However, he also warned that if ETH falls below $2,914, the current technical structure will be broken, potentially leading to a new round of adjustments.
2025: The breakout year for Ethereum?
Looking ahead, asset management giant VanEck predicts that Ethereum will reach its cycle peak in 2025, with prices potentially climbing to $6,000. This expectation is strongly supported by the continuously growing inflow of funds into ETFs, reflecting institutional investors' recognition of Ethereum's core position in smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), and on-chain applications.
In addition, Bybit's market spokesperson also stated that as the U.S. economic policy becomes clearer in 2025, the crypto market will welcome a new wave of opportunities. They expect Ethereum to possibly break through $4,000 in the first quarter of 2025, paving the way for larger gains.
Summary: Ethereum's next peak is on the way.
The inflow data for Ethereum ETFs has doubled, injecting new vitality into the market. Although facing some resistance in the short term, the attitude of institutional funds suggests that ETH's future looks bright. $3,500 is the short-term battleground, while $6,000 is the ultimate goal.
