Ethereum (ETH)’s struggles to regain the last cycle’s heights have
brewed a bearish sentiment among some sectors of the crypto
community. Its performance during Q2 has seemingly continued to
fuel the sentiment. However, with rumors of an ETH ETF
(Exchange-Traded Fund) approval being around the corner, analysts
believe the ‘King of Altcoins’ is about to hit the “ETH season.”

Ethereum ETFs, How Will ETH React? Will Ethereum Spot ETF Come Next
Week? On Wednesday, Reuters revealed sources close to some
investment firms believe that Ethereum ETFs will be approved next
week. The rumors follow the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) Chair, Gary Gensler, comments regarding the investment
products’ approval. Earlier this week, Gensler spoke at the
Bloomberg Invest Summit, revealing that the approval process is
“working smoothly.” The launch of the highly anticipated products
is expected to come this summer and could be as early as July.
According to Reuters, industry executives and lawyers involved with
the applicants believe the Ethereum ETF could be approved within
the next two weeks. Per the report, the ETH approval could come as
soon as July 4. A month ago, ETH’s price soared by over 30% in
anticipation of an SEC’s approval, going from the $3,000 mark to
the $3,900 price range. Since then, the second-largest
cryptocurrency has retraced to the $3,200 support zone.
Nonetheless, the ‘King of Altcoins’ saw a positive impact from the
recent ETF rumors. Ethereum rose by 2.5% following the news,
recovering the $3,400 support zone it lost at the beginning of the
week. Is ‘ETH Season’ Around The Corner? Crypto analyst Jelle
believes that ETH might be ready for take-off despite the
expectations of “an underwhelming ETF launch.” To the analyst, ETH
“looks ready for a massive push higher” as it tests key levels the
week before the alleged approval. Per his chart, the cryptocurrency
is testing the support of a downtrend within the accumulation
range. Jelle considers that if ETH pushes into $4,000 again, it
might not “stop anytime soon.” To him, the “nearly three years in
the making breakout” into the expansion zone will kickstart the
“ETH season.” Similarly, Daan Crypto Trades pointed out that
Ethereum is still consolidating against a “massive 2-year-long
downtrend line.” Per the trader, the May pump highs are the place
to break. A “higher high above 0.0575” would “flip the market
structure to bullish.” Moreover, Crypto Yoddha highlighted the
falling wedge pattern in the ETHBTC chart. The trader suggested
that a breakout will come “anytime now.” This analysis was also
shared by trader Miky Bull, who considers Ethereum “fully ripe for
a rally from the retest of fib .618 level.” Related Reading:
