Why is Ethereum price up today

Ethereum price in ‘bull market’ after spot ETH ETF approvals greenlight rally toward $4K

With the spot ETH ETFs approved, traders are confident that Ethereum price is ready to rally well above $4,000.

Traders continue to push Ether (ETH) price closer to $4,000 on May 27, with the altcoin registering a 3.5% gain for the day. 

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows strong performance from Ether which rose from a low of $3,048 on May 20, climbing 27% to reach a 10-week high of $3,964 on May 27.

Ether’s performance over the last seven days has largely been driven by the markets’ anticipation that the spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States would be approved. Even though ETH displayed a lackluster performance after the approval, the move toward $4,000 is viewed as significant.

3 reasons why Etheruem price looks ready to rally higher

Key Ethereum price metrics suggest that ETH’s pause at $3,800 is temporary.

Increasing expectations of spot Ethereum ETFs being approved in the United States caused the price of Ether (ETH) to jump over 26% over the last two days to trade at highs not seen since March 15.

Since hitting $3,800, ETH price has pulled back slightly, but the possibility of a spot Ethereum ETF approval and fundamental factors and on-chain metrics suggest that the altcoins uptrend remains intact.

One factor supporting Ether’s upside is increasing open long ETH positions in the futures market. Data from on-chain market intelligence firm CryptoQuant shows Ethereum’s total open interest in the derivatives market increased from 2.8 to 3.2 million ETH in a few hours on May 20 after rumors emerged that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was making a U-turn on the approval of spot Ethereum ETFs. This is the highest open interest since January 2023.
