Ethereum Funding Rate Soars: ETH Poised to Break $3,000 Amid Market Optimism

Wed, 25 Sep 2024, 21:22 pm UTC

Ethereum's funding rate surge hints at a bullish breakout toward the $3,000 mark.

Ethereum's funding rate has soared, reflecting a surge in market optimism that could propel ETH prices beyond $3,000. Despite recent sell-offs by the Ethereum Foundation, futures traders are ramping up their positions, indicating strong bullish sentiment.

According to CryptoQuant, a well-known blockchain analytics firm, the 30-day moving average of the Ethereum funding rate has been bullish following an extended period of decrease. This change is in line with the general market upturn and the 15% increase in the price of ETH over the past week.

Ethereum Funding Rates Soar Amid Market Optimism

An upswing in purchasing activity among futures traders is indicated by the surge in the Ethereum funding rate. Despite the Ethereum Foundation's recent selloffs, market players appear to be looking past them and adopting an optimistic perspective.

Traders Look Beyond Sell-offs to Bet on Ethereum's Recovery

Demand in the perpetual futures market needs to keep going up in the next weeks if Ethereum is going to keep its recovery going and aim for greater price levels.

In the medium term, CryptoQuant predicted that if financing rates were to remain high, the price of Ethereum may rise much more. Many Ethereum experts believe the cryptocurrency could break through the $3,000 barrier in the near future.

Ethereum Approaches Critical $3,000 Resistance

A 50 basis point reduction in interest rates earlier this month has also been good for Ethereum. However, further market liquidity may be on the horizon thanks to the stimulus package proposed by the People's Bank of China (PBoC). This has the potential to be a game-changer that sets off the subsequent phase of the rally.

China Stimulus Could Fuel Ethereum’s Next Price Surge

After rate reduction and China stimulus, the macro space seems more favorable for risk assets, including crypto, according to analysts at QCP Capital.

The People's Bank of China (PBoC) has already signaled their intention to increase easing, and now that the U.S. Federal Reserve has joined the global cutting cycle, every major central bank is prepared to inject additional liquidity into the market with the exception of the Bank of Japan.

Global Economic Trends Bolster Ethereum's Rally

The technical analysis shows that the price of ETH is about to jump beyond $3,000, with $2,800 serving as a significant obstacle. Coingape says that the altcoin may see selling pressure near $2.8K, the level beyond which the rally can begin.

The Ethereum to Bitcoin ratio (ETH/BTC) has risen sharply, gaining over 33% in the last week, mirroring the Ethereum financing rate. At this point, it's clear that investors are leaning toward ETH rather than BTC. The current Ethereum to Bitcoin ratio is 0.04.
