{"content":"🟢 $ETH Holding $4K — But Can It Smash Through $4.5K and Set a New ATH? - Here’s what news outlets say + my research Ethereum has been flexing strength while $BTC cooled down. Over the past 48h, multiple outlets reported $ETH rising ~3% in a single day, holding steady in the $4.1K–$4.3K range even as Bitcoin slipped. Experts highlight ETF outflows as the main reason ETH is struggling to break higher, but they agree the real battle zone is $4.3K–$4.5K. Above that, momentum could flip hard toward the $4.8K–$5K range. Now looking at my own chart (1D candles, Binance): ETH is sitting around $4,284, right on top of the EMA(7) at $4,310 and comfortably above the EMA(25) at $4,083. The $4.0K level is acting as a strong floor, while the last major peak at $4,788 is staring right above us like the next mountain to climb. Trading volume shows rotation rather than exit—buyers are stepping in whenever ETH dips near $4.1K. Personally, I see this as a healthy pause rather than weakness. If ETH can absorb the ETF-driven selling pressure around $4.5K, then a breakout toward $4.8K+ and even a shot at a new ATH is realistic in the coming weeks. But if it fails, a pullback to $4.0K or even $3.7K wouldn’t surprise me—and that’s where I’d be watching for the next strong bounce. For me, this moment feels like Ethereum is coiling up for its next big move. Either way, the $4.5K resistance is the real test—break it, and the narrative shifts fast.","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025082025/08/21/ac98816499f64364a5160c9fc55d5fc2.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["BTC/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
