Highlights:

• Ethereum price is regaining momentum after a 48-hour correction
• A rebound would put Ethereum on course to $4000
• Increased ETF inflows could send Ethereum to $4k soon

Ethereum continues the upside momentum it has built up so far as the broader market turns bullish. When going to press, Ethereum was up by 0.68% to trade at $3188.02. A lot is happening in the market that supports a continuation of the momentum that the Ethereum price has built up so far.

According to the results of the survey, approximately 65% of the investors are optimistic about the likelihood of appreciation in the value of digital assets. 63% of them are considering increasing their allocations in the period of three to six months. Recently, Bitcoin registered another record high of exceeding a price of 93000 US Dollars.

This has further increased their interest as they try to get a stronger stance in the market. Of the respondents surveyed, 69% of them reported that favorable regulatory conditions were one of the factors taken into consideration. That’s because it reduced earlier impediments to making crypto investments.

There is also a change in the investment strategies. Data shows an increased emphasis on single-token, actively managed portfolios, layer-1 blockchains, Web3, or DeFi. More than half of the investors surveyed say that they invest over 10% of their investment portfolios in the digital asset market, indicating that the market has become more attractive. All this makes a strong case for Ethereum, which is one of the top cryptocurrencies in the market today.

Ethereum Price Surge Likely as Deflationary Tokenomics Boosts Bullish Outlook

Ethereum shows signs of a potential bull run as its supply becomes deflationary. Analysis retrieved from Ultrasound.Money indicates that there has been a considerable change in ETH burn rates. This has triggered a deflationary outlook within ETH that has the potential to draw in even more investors.

Ethereum ETF Inflows Continue to Rise

There has been a spike in interest in Ethereum from Wall Street. Investment in ETH-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered its fifth consecutive positive inflow fundamentally for the first time since the SEC approved Ethereum ETFs. On November 11, inflows stood at an impressive $295.50 million, with over $131.40 million being achieved on November 12.

This trend means that more investors are willing to enter into the Ethereum ETF market. Such potential makes it possible for a closing of the gap with Bitcoin ETF which has long been the center of attention in Wall Street. Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg analyst, commended the trend despite considering Bitcoin ETFs dominant.

Taking the backdrop of such changes, the price of ETH also witnessed a change to the upside breaking the three-month consolidation. These changes coupled with the Ethereum ROI have strengthened Ethereum’s bullish momentum.

Technical Analysis – Ethereum Price Trending Towards Key Resistance

Despite a minor correction in the last 3-days, sellers appear weak. This as the broader market rises means Ethereum bulls could soon regain control. In a scenario where bulls are in control, the key level to watch would be the $3539.4 resistance. A rally through this resistance level could open the way for the Ethereum price to test $4000 in the short term.

However, if short sellers take control in the short term, the key level to watch would be the $2929.7 support. Of these scenarios, the odds are higher that Ethereum is headed for $4000. With institutional demand for Ethereum on the rise, coupled with its deflationary tokenomics, the future is bullish.
