Ethereum has broken through a key price level that held for over three years. The cryptocurrency is now trading at $4,520 after finally clearing the $4,000 resistance mark.
The breakout comes after 1,146 days of consolidation. Analyst Mags noted that Ethereum faced three rejections at the $4,000 level before achieving a clean break on the fourth attempt.
The price action shows reduced selling pressure. Holders appear to have growing conviction in the asset as it stabilizes above the psychological threshold.
A recent fakeout near $3,800 was quickly reversed. The sharp V-shaped recovery highlighted strong buying interest at lower levels.
The $4,000 level has now flipped from resistance to support. This technical shift provides a foundation for potential upward movement.
Ethereum recently spiked toward $4,750 during its latest upward move. The price formed a high at $4,759 before correcting slightly.
The cryptocurrency is trading above its 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. A bullish trend line is forming with support at $4,550.
Analyst Projects $7,331 Target
Technical analysis points to higher price levels ahead. The 1.618 Fibonacci extension aligns with a target of $7,331.

This projection assumes the current support holds. The target represents a potential gain of over 60% from current levels.
The immediate resistance sits near $4,720 and $4,750. A clear move above these levels could open the path toward $4,780 and $4,840.
If Ethereum clears the $4,840 region, further gains could follow. The next resistance zones are located at $4,880 and $4,920.

The approval represents a new phase for institutional access. Investors can now gain exposure to Ethereum while earning staking yields through regulated products.
Grayscale’s Solana Trust also plans to add staking. This is pending ETP uplisting approval and shows institutional adoption expanding across major networks.
BitMine, led by Tom Lee, recently added $820 million worth of Ethereum. The purchase reflects renewed confidence from institutional funds following these regulatory developments.
The timing of the ETP approval coincides with Ethereum’s technical breakout. This combination of institutional products and price action has strengthened investor sentiment.
Initial support on the downside is near $4,615. The first major support sits at $4,550, which aligns with the bullish trend line.
