A resurgence in demand for Ethereum ETFs, strong network activity, and a bullish technical setup suggest that ETH has a chance to break through the key USD 2,000 mark soon. Ethereum’s price reached USD 1,860 on April 28, its highest price since the beginning of the month, and analysts expect further growth.
Institutional interest strengthens growth scenario
One of the main drivers of Ethereum’s current growth is the return of institutional demand. Inflows into spot ETFs on Ethereum reached USD 64.1 million in a single day on April 28. Investors poured over USD 183 million into ETH-related products throughout the week. This trend shows growing confidence in Ethereum as an “emerging safe haven” in times of uncertainty in traditional markets.
In addition to the influx of capital, price developments are also being boosted by increased activity directly on the Ethereum blockchain. The total value locked (TVL) in the network rose by 16% to over USD 51.8 billion over the past week, with projects such as Aave, Lido and EigenLayer among the most significant growth drivers.
Technical analysis points to a target of USD 2,100
From a technical perspective, the ETH/USD pair has formed a bullish flag on the four-hour chart, whose upward breakout confirms the continuing growth trend. A close above USD 1,800 signals potential growth to USD 2,100, representing an approximately 15% increase from current levels.
Further support for growth is indicated by the positive relative strength index (RSI) at 60. Increased demand in the USD 1,700 area should provide a solid base for reaching the target levels, with the possibility that ETH could head towards USD 2,500 in favorable conditions.
