Will Ethereum Price Rally Extend?
Ethereum price (ETH) has now broken above the $2,600 mark after taking solid support from the 200-day EMA band. It is igniting speculation about its rally to extend, which began earlier this month of May.
With Bitcoin reaching an ATH, the hunger to get more gains is keeping the investors in a bullish mode, as a result, the broader crypto market is experiencing a bullish wave, and Ethereum appears set to capitalize on this bullish wave.
The recent rally this month, accelerated from $1,792 on May 8 to peaking at $2,695 on May 14, marked a pump of over 50% in just 7 trading day sessions. Now, as ETH price is hinting at a similar rally to come, one analyst suggest it could rise as high as $2,900 in this week before the month end, only if market dynamics are favorable.
However, another analyst remain highly optimistic about Ethereum’s long-term outlook, pointing to a strong bullish pattern forming on the monthly chart. They note that a multi-year support level has shaped a pennant formation, signaling a potential surge.
Projections indicate that ETH could climb to $4,500 by 2025, and if it successfully retests this level, it may then set its sights on a multi-year target of $8,000. This milestone is expected to serve as a crucial launching pad for even greater gains in the future.
Besides, ETH crypto’s whale accumulations witnessed and low exchange reserves, also strengthening the conviction among large investors.
Analyst Suggest Caution, As Retailers Are Still Asleep
However, despite many expert analysts’ optimism, the caution still remains, as a CryptoQuant analyst said this Monday that since the pandemic, local tops were seen after strong retail activity.
But, in this year’s rally, Ethereum has shown a tiny flicker of retail interest, which was seen in the Q4 2024 rally, as it was advancing, Trump tariff drama flushed the gains in Q1 2025.
Analyst suggests retail crowd’s risk appetite could have dropped, and that’s why retail has not entered yet, and the analyst concludes that missing retail interest shows the rally might still be too early. But it also suggests that significant upside potential still exists for Ethereum when retail investors become more active.

The wait for a spot XRP ETF is far from over, but there’s now a clearer picture of when a final decision might arrive. In a tweet, Crypto America Host Eleanor Terrett shared details of her conversation with ETF expert James Seyffart, shedding light on potential timelines for the approval of the XRP spot ETF.
XRP ETF Approval Around Mid-October
James Seyffart, a well-known ETF expert, suggested that the final decision on the XRP spot ETF is expected to come around mid-October, with October 18th being a likely deadline.
Some more detail after speaking with ETF guru @JSeyff just now:
These dates are all intermediate and we will likely see final decisions on a lot of the crypto ETPs in Q4. For the $XRP spot ETF, James is eyeing mid-October, around the 18th, as a final decision deadline. It’s… https://t.co/6FDIayFpHS
However, Seyffart also noted that the SEC could make a decision before then, depending on how actively they engage with the applications. The process has been slower than expected, but this date provides a glimmer of hope for those eagerly awaiting the outcome.
While it’s possible the agency could make its move before October, Seyffart believes Q4 will likely be the most active period for crypto-related ETF decisions across the board.
Franklin XRP ETF Decision Pushed to June

But here’s the twist, the SEC doesn’t always use the full time allowed. If they engage actively with the issuers and legal teams early on, the decision could arrive sooner.
