Ethereum Price Jumps 11% as BlackRock’s $54M Purchase Sparks Bullish Breakout Hopes

• Ethereum rebounds 10% after hitting the $1,500 support zone.  
• Key resistance at $2,200 could unlock a rally toward $3,000–$4,000.  
• Bullish momentum hinges on confirming a breakout with strong volume

After dipping into the $1,620–$1,700 support area last week, Ethereum rebounded strongly and climbed to $1,806, marking an 11% weekly gain. Institutions jumped in—BlackRock quietly added $54 million of ETH to its holdings—reigniting optimism about a move toward $2,500 later this quarter. 

The bounce also helped ETH recapture its 50-day moving average for the first time since February.

Breaching $2,200 Could Open Path to $3K–$4K

On the weekly chart, Ethereum found support at the bottom of its key zone and reversed higher. The next hurdle is $2,200. A daily close above that level could open doors to a rally targeting $3,000–$4,000 over the next few months. Weekly trading volume rose about 15%, suggesting buyers are gearing up for more gains.

Over the past two months, ETH’s weekly chart shows a falling wedge pattern. In crypto, this setup often signals a reversal. Traders look for a break above the wedge’s upper line. A strong increase in volume on that breakout would confirm the pattern and point to higher prices.

Traders should watch for daily closes above $2,200 and for price to stay above its 20-week moving average, which currently sits near $1,900. If both happen, it would confirm bullish momentum and likely draw more buying. If not, Ethereum could fall back into consolidation or retest its support zone at $1,700.

ETH Market Share Stabilizes After All-Time Lows

Ethereum’s market share—the percentage of total crypto market cap—fell below 7%, hitting a record low, according to Rekt Capital .

But that level now appears to be holding as support. If dominance stays above 7%, it could spark a broader altcoin rally and help ETH regain share. Failure here might delay the overall crypto recovery. Holding above 7% is critical for Ethereum’s broader price recovery.
