Ethereum has staged an almost vertical rebound from a $1,500 low, but it is now trading below $2,500, where the technical outlook points to both further gains and a potential pullback, CryptoPotato analyzed. The outlet said ETH has repeatedly failed to break above the top of its range near $2,500. Exchange reserves have continued to decline, reducing the amount potentially available for selling, while the technical setup still leaves room for both upside and downside, according to the analysis. It added that holding above $2,100, a key daily support level, could keep the broader uptrend intact. At the same time, the relative strength index has fallen below overbought territory, signaling the possibility of sideways trading and a deeper correction before fresh buying emerges. On the four-hour chart, repeated selling near the top of the range remains clear, while buyers have continued to defend the lower end of the range. A break above $2,500 could strengthen the case for a continued uptrend, while a move below $2,400 could turn the current consolidation into a deeper correction.

Bitcoin has been moving sideways in a $77,300-$81,300 range, and while spot buying momentum has slowed, institutional demand and new capital inflows are accelerating again, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode. In its weekly report, Glassnode said U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $681.2 million in net inflows last week, up sharply from $247.8 million a week earlier. At the same time, spot momentum fell 30%, while spot trading volume was little changed at $5.3 billion, indicating spot buying has yet to translate into high-conviction purchases. Still, Glassnode assessed the rise in ETF net inflows and stronger bullish positioning in the options market as positive signals.

The number of wallet addresses holding more than zero Bitcoin reached about 56.92 million, extending its upward trend, Crypto Briefing reported. That marks an increase of more than sixfold from 2017, when the figure stood at under 10 million. While the exact tally varies by data provider, all providers observed the same long-term upward trend. The metric does not represent the actual number of Bitcoin holders, as one person can control multiple addresses and exchanges can pool many customers’ assets into a small number of wallets. Crypto Briefing said the measure is more meaningful as an indicator of broadening long-term network participation than as a direct predictor of price.

Bitcoin’s rebound is likely to continue as institutional investors that had sold volatility in the options market face short covering, Two Prime CEO Alexander Blume said, according to CoinDesk. Blume said investors had continued selling call options in trades that suppressed realized volatility, but were exposed to losses as prices rose. He said a wave of hedging and position unwinds is likely to add upside momentum. Blume also said perpetual futures funding rates have not surged to excessively speculative levels, suggesting the current rally is being driven by healthy demand rather than excessive leverage. Unless macroeconomic headwinds emerge, he said, the $60,000 level is likely to serve as strong downside support for Bitcoin. Rising Treasury yields, higher oil prices, inflation concerns and a broad stock-market sell-off were cited as key downside risks.
