Ether’s (ETH) price could be on track to a new all-time high after the launch of the first United States spot Ether ETFs, according to Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of Bitwise.


Hougan cited three main reasons for Ether reaching a new all-time high, including ETH’s inflation rate, the fact that Ether stakers aren’t selling like Bitcoin (BTC) miners and that 28% of Ether supply is already out of the market.


In a July 16 blog post, Hougan wrote:“Ethereum’s inflation rate over the past year is exactly 0% [...] Significant new demand meets 0% new supply? I like that math. And if activity on Ethereum ticks up, so does the amount of ETH being consumed. That’s another lever of organic demand working in investors’ favor.”


Other factors also point to an incoming rally, including the number of Ether withdrawals from centralized exchanges, according to crypto analyst Leon Waidmann.

However, Ether futures suggest little confidence in the chance of Ether breaking above the $4,000 mark in the short term, as the $3,500 mark remains a significant resistance zone.


Ether’s relative strength index (RSI) also suggests that Ether’s price needs to cool down before rallying to a new all-time high. On the daily chart, Ether’s RSI rose to 58, which suggests that the asset is not yet overbought but is trading above its fair value, according to TradingView data.ETH/USD, RSI, 1-day chart.

The RSI is a popular momentum indicator used to measure whether an asset is oversold or overbought based on the magnitude of recent price changes.

Ether’s price could first see a sell-the-news event after the initial ETF launch before starting its sustained rally toward new all-time highs.


Hence, the real opportunity to invest in Ether long term could come after the first few weeks of the ETF debut, according to Alvin Kan, chief operating officer of Bitget Wallet.


Kan told Cointelegraph:“Similar to how the market reacted when BTC spot ETFs got approved, we expect ETH to jump in price for a short time after its own ETF gets the green light. However, there might be followed by some selling pressure for a week or two afterward, as a result of outflows from instruments like Grayscale’s ETF.”


ETH’s price will be able to climb in a more sustained manner after the initial shakeout, added Kan:“Once this initial shakeout is over, the price of ETH could start to climb steadily each month, depending on the daily inflows into the new ETH spot ETF.”


Other analysts expect the Ether ETF to have wider ramifications on the altcoin market. For instance, popular crypto trader Mikybull expects the ETFs to catalyze the next altcoin bull market cycle.

Ether’s price rallied over 11% during the past week, but ETH is still trading 29% below its old all-time high of $4,890 reached in November 2021.
