Despite Ethereum's (ETH) price facing some downward pressure and encountering resistance at $3500, the inflow of funds into Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continues to rise, surpassing the milestone of $2.5 billion. This performance highlights the market's optimistic sentiment towards Ethereum, indicating that investors hold a positive outlook on its long-term prospects.

ETF inflows remain strong, as ETH continues to attract capital.

According to data from Farside Investors, as of December 24, the total inflow of funds into U.S. spot Ethereum (ETH) ETFs has surpassed $2.5 billion, with a cumulative inflow of $53 million on that day. Nevertheless, according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, the price of ETH has experienced a short-term correction of about 10%, oscillating around $3475.

$3500 is a key resistance level.

Although the price of Ethereum has technically encountered strong resistance at the psychological threshold of $3500, market analysts point out that once ETH successfully breaks through this level and turns it into a support level, the upward momentum of ETH may further strengthen. Cryptocurrency analyst Satoshi Flipper mentioned in a tweet on December 25: 'ETH is trying to break through the resistance level of $3500. If it successfully flips to support, it could bring new upward momentum.'

Rebound expectations before Trump takes office.

Analysts are generally optimistic about Ethereum's price prospects in 2025, especially in the context of Trump potentially being re-elected president. Bybit analysts predict that before Donald Trump officially takes office on January 20, the price of ETH may rebound to above $4000. This prediction has garnered widespread attention in the market, especially after SEC Chairman Gary Gensler announced he would step down in January, further heating up market sentiment.

Long-term outlook is bullish: ETH may break $5000.

Cryptocurrency analyst Lucky pointed out in a tweet that 2025 could be a standout year for Ethereum, predicting that ETH may break $5000 during the market cycle, especially after the holidays when the market could see greater fluctuations.

VanEck is bullish on ETH, predicting a target of $6000.

Some well-known cryptocurrency institutions, such as VanEck, hold a highly optimistic view on Ethereum's future, predicting that ETH's price will reach $6000 by 2025, and also noting that Bitcoin (BTC) may break $180,000.

Ethereum's future looks bullish, but it needs to break key technical points.

Although ETH faces challenges at the $3500 resistance level, the inflow of ETF funds and the continued bullish attitude of institutional investors indicate that market confidence in Ethereum remains intact. With the Trump administration potentially easing regulations, the outlook for the cryptocurrency market has become more optimistic. Analysts generally expect ETH to break through in 2025, with target prices possibly reaching between $5000 and $6000. If ETH can successfully break through its current technical bottleneck, a new wave of upward momentum may follow.
