Ethereum held above $2,700 and traded around $2,760 after touching an intraday high near $2,804, extending its weekly gain to approximately 14%. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs attracted roughly $270 million in net inflows during one session, their strongest daily result since October, lifting the two-day total to about $413.8 million and ending a three-day outflow streak. SoSoValue reported $999 million in net inflows for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on Sept. 21, led by BlackRock’s IBIT with $381 million, while BlackRock’s ETHA accounted for $110 million of the Ether ETF inflows. Lookonchain identified further whale accumulation, including a 4,500 ETH purchase that took one holder’s balance to about 37,000 ETH and a 6,247 ETH acquisition funded by selling 200.71 BTC. That wallet exchanged 1,308 BTC for 40,670 ETH over six days before staking the full allocation, with staking meaning locking crypto to earn network rewards. BitMine Immersion reportedly bought another 12,500 ETH after acquiring 27,562 ETH the previous week, bringing its estimated holdings close to 5.98 million ETH, valued at about $16.5 billion at current prices. Chairman Thomas Lee said the company viewed Ethereum’s third-quarter price action as potentially supporting stronger fourth-quarter momentum. ETH futures open interest reached roughly $36 billion, while CME open interest rose more than 8%. Technically, Ethereum faces resistance near $2,786, followed by $2,894 and $3,177, while support is concentrated around $2,626-$2,544 and the 20-day EMA near $2,537. The RSI was near 71 and the Stochastic Oscillator above 90, placing momentum in overbought territory. Analyst Ted said a weekly close above the 100-week simple moving average could send ETH toward $3,300-$3,400, while rejection could lead to a retest of about $2,550. Trader Peter Brandt separately identified a potential long-term target near $8,674 after a decisive breakout above $5,000, while stressing that an X post or chart is not proof of a trade.
