BlackRock Ethereum ETF Hits New Milestone, $5000 ETH Price Soon?

The BlackRock Ethereum ETF (ETHA) has been single-handedly dominating inflows into the US Ether ETF market crossing more than $2.6 billion in net inflows since inception. On Thursday, ETHA reported the highest-ever daily inflows at $292 million pushing the net inflows to more than $428 million. The ETH price is flirting around $3,900 levels looking for a potential breakout to all-time high levels of $5,000 and above.
BlackRock Ethereum ETF Hits New Milestone
BlackRock’s iShares Ether ETF (ETHA), witnessed the highest daily inflows since its inception on Thursday at $292 million. Over the past week, ETHA has been single-handedly driving the total inflows with itself clocking $800 million in inflows during the past five trading sessions. As of now, the BlackRock Ethereum ETF holds 837.5K ETH, worth $3.27 billion, solidifying its position as a dominant player in the market.
Since its July launch, BlackRock iShares Ethereum ETF alone has attracted $2.6 billion in total inflows, per data from Farside Investors. The growing momentum highlights increasing investor interest in Ethereum-focused financial products.
Following yesterday’s numbers, the net inflows across all US Ether ETFs also crossed $1 billion for the first time, now at $1.3 billion. Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, said that the ETFs have achieved this milestone despite facing significant obstacles such as restrictions on staking capabilities, $3.5 billion outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE, absence of options trading for Ether ETFs, etc.
Spot eth ETFs now w/ over $1.3bil net inflows since July launch…
Have done this despite:
1) Nearly $3.5bil outflows from ETHE
2) No staking allowed
3) No options trading
4) No in-kind creation/redemption
5) Very limited access to major wirehouses (plus Vanguard)
Not bad.

ETH Price Rally to $5,000 Soon?
Despite 9% gains on the weekly chart, the Ethereum price is currently confronting a major resistance at $3928, crossing which it can set the eyes on $5,000. Renowned crypto analyst Venturefounder points out that ETH is approaching a breakout from a three-year-long triangle consolidation pattern.
According to the analyst, Ethereum could also exit a seven-year trading range, setting the stage for a rapid surge reminiscent of its explosive rally during the 2016-2017 period. This historical pattern saw ETH achieve unprecedented highs in a short time frame. As a result, Venturefounder predicts Ethereum could reach a new all-time high, targeting $15,937 by May 2025.
While BlackRock Ethereum ETF inflows surge, the selling pressure from Ethereum whales has continued amid the recent ETH price surge. As per blockchain analytics platform Spot on Chain, a giant Ethereum whale has deposited its remaining 60,079 ETH, worth approximately $234 million, to the crypto exchange Bitfinex after nearly six years of holding.
The whale originally withdrew 87,085 ETH from Bitfinex in January 2019 when Ethereum was trading at just $153, amounting to a value of $13.4 million. In 2020, the whale transferred 600 ETH to Tornado Cash for privacy purposes.
In a strategic move, the whale began redepositing ETH to Bitfinex in November 2023 and December 2024, totaling 86,484 ETH at an average price of $3,331.

$33 Million Inflows Signal Market Bounce

Crypto inflows hit $226 million last week, signaling a cautiously optimistic investor sentiment amid ongoing market volatility.
According to CoinShares data, altcoins broke a five-week streak of negative flows, recording their first inflows in over a month.
Crypto Inflows Hit $226 Million Last Week
This turnout marks a significant slowdown from the previous week when crypto inflows hit $644 million, ending a five-week outflow streak. Before that, inflows peaked at $1.3 billion, with Ethereum outpacing Bitcoin in investor demand.
“Digital asset investment products saw $226 million of inflows last week suggesting a positive but cautious investor,” read an excerpt in the report.
The pullback to $226 million last week suggests a more measured approach by investors as they assess macroeconomic conditions and regulatory uncertainties.
Specifically, CoinShares’ researcher James Butterfill ascribes Friday’s minor outflows of $74 million to core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) in the US, which came in above expectations.
“The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation (Core PCE) moved up to 2.8% in February & remains well above their 2% target that has yet to be achieved. The market is expecting the Fed to hold rates steady again at their next meeting on May 7 (at 4.25-4.50%),” investor Charlie Bilello noted.
Nevertheless, this turnaround comes after nine consecutive trading days of inflows into crypto ETPs (exchange-traded products).
Despite the slowdown, Bitcoin continued to attract strong inflows of $195 million. Meanwhile, short-Bitcoin products registered outflows of $2.5 million for the fourth consecutive week. This suggests that investors are leaning bullish on Bitcoin, even as altcoins begin to recover.
The CoinShares report shows that altcoins saw $33 million in inflows last week after suffering $1.7 billion in outflows over the past month.
Altcoins Rebound After $1.7 Billion in Outflows
Ethereum (ETH) led the recovery, attracting $14.5 million, then Solana (SOL) at $7.8 million, while XRP and Sui recorded $4.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Market analysts believe altcoins may be bottoming out, creating potential buying opportunities.
“Altcoins are oversold. The bottom is close. We’re ready for a bounce,” renowned analyst Crypto Rover highlighted.
Other analysts echoed the sentiment, suggesting growing attention toward altcoins. Among them was trader Thomas Kralow, who said, “altcoins are setting up for a comeback.”
Adding credence to this bullish outlook for altcoins, project researcher BitcoinHabebe, known for insightful mid-low cap sniper entries, pointed to technical indicators suggesting a market reversal.
“While bears are trying to spread fear & make you sell your altcoins, the TOTAL3 [Altcoins market cap chart excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum] just bounced off an HTF [higher timeframe] retest,” the analyst stated.
This means most coins have bottomed out and are expected to start reversing soon. Cole Garner noted a key buy signal in market liquidity metrics, further supporting this view.
“Tether Ratio Channel already flashed a double buy signal this month. Now my lower timeframe version is popping off. Fresh capital incoming,” he indicated.
The Tether Ratio Channel is an on-chain analytical tool that helps traders identify potential buy signals. It tracks the ratio of Bitcoin’s market capitalization to that of stablecoins, acting as a leading indicator for short- to medium-term trends.
When the ratio hits certain levels, it can signal shifts in market sentiment, often indicating whether fresh capital is entering or exiting the market.
While overall crypto inflows have slowed compared to previous weeks, the return of capital into altcoins suggests renewed investor confidence. Analysts see signs of an impending altcoin rally, with market metrics indicating that most coins have bottomed out.
As investors weigh macroeconomic uncertainties, the coming weeks could be critical in determining whether the altcoin recovery sustains momentum or if caution prevails.

Cardano Price Eyes Massive Pump In May Following Cyclical Patern From 2024

Cardano price is repeating a pattern from 2024 that experts say is a signal for a massive pump in the coming weeks. While present figures are largely underwhelming for ADA, investors are brimming with confidence for a strong reversal in the near future.
Cardano Price Can Reach $2.5 In May
According to pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst Master Kenobi, Cardano price is exhibiting cyclical behavior. In a post on X, Master Kenobi notes that ADA’s consolidation in recent days mirrors its price action from Q3 of 2024.
At the time, Cardano’s price suffered a steep correction in early August and endured a lengthy consolidation period before rallying. Presently, Cardano’s price is consolidating after the deep in early February that sent prices to $0.49.
“ADA is currently in a consolidation phase that resembles its behavior from August-September 2024,” said Master Kenobi. “Since the dip on August 5, it hasn’t recorded a new low – just as it hasn’t now, following the dip on February 3.”
According to Master Kenobi, a lengthy consolidation phase will be the precursor for an impressive rally for Cardano’s price. The analyst theorizes that the incoming rally will send Cardano to impressive levels in May. In the short term, analysts are eyeing ADA to hit $1, citing rising whale activity and positive fundamentals.
“If this pattern holds, May could bring a massive pump, potentially pushing the price toward $2.5,” said Master Kenobi.
ADA Ripples With Bullish Activity
At the moment, Cardano price is trading at $0.6646, a far cry from its all-time high of $3.10. Despite the lull in price action, the ecosystem is brimming with bullish activity for higher valuation.
Investors have their eyes on $10 after ADA outperformed top S&P 500 companies in a strong show of resilience. Futhermore, increased whale activity in the space is signaling an impending rally for ADA as community sentiment reaches an all-time high.
Analysts have opined that an ADA rally to $10 is not a crazy prediction, citing a slew of positive fundamentals for the network. However, pundits are urging investors to brace for multiple corrections in the march to reach a valuation of $10.

Analyst Reveals Why The XRP Price Can Hit ATH In The Next 90 To 120 Days

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has again provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price. This time, he alluded to historical trends to explain why the altcoin can hit a new all-time high (ATH) in 90 to 120 days.
Why The XRP Price Can Hit ATH In 90 To 120 Days
In an X post, Egrag Crypto alluded to historical patterns to explain why the XRP price can hit a new ATH in the next 90 to 120 days. He noted that the RSI chart shows important historical patterns and stated that the altcoin usually has two peaks during its bull runs.
The crypto analyst further revealed that in 2021, the second peak occurred after 90 days, while in 2017, it occurred after 120 days. Based on this, Egrag Crypto affirmed that this historical timeframe provides market participants with a potential for a “great opportunity,” hinting at the altcoin hitting a new ATH.
In another post, he raised the possibility of the XRP price reaching a new ATH of $3.9 by May. This came as he identified an Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern, which was forming for the altcoin. The crypto analyst stated that the measured move is $3.7 to $3.9.
For now, an XRP analysis has shown that the altcoin is struggling at $2.15 amid regulatory uncertainty over SEC Chair nominee Paul Atkins. In his update on this Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern, Egrag Crypto remarked that a close above $2.24, the Fib 0.888, is the next minor target. He affirmed that the pattern is still unfolding as anticipated.
Ripple’s Native Token Could Still Drop Below $2
Crypto analyst Dark Defender has predicted that the XRP price could still drop below $2 before the next leg up. In an X post, he stated that Ripple’s native token is in the 4th Wave of the Monthly Elliott Wave structure.
His accompanying chart showed that XRP could drop to as low as $1.88 on this Wave 4 corrective move. Once that is done, the altcoin will witness its next leg up, rallying to as high as $5.8, which would mark a new ATH.
Dark Defender assured that Wave 4 will end soon and that XRP will continue to reach its targets. The crypto analyst recently affirmed that the altcoin is the “one” and explained why it would dominate Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Crypto analyst CasiTrades also suggested that XRP could further decline before its next leg to the upside. She noted that after the drop to $2.27, the altcoin showed no bullish RSI divergence, which signaled that the drop wasn’t quite done yet.
She added that the coin is now likely heading down to test the 0.618 golden retracement at $2.17, or possibly the golden pocket at $2.15 for a final low before “lift-off.” However, CasiTrades also mentioned that RSI is starting to build the bullish divergence and that the selling pressure is exhausting.
