  • Ethereum has shown four big rallies after crossing the weekly EMA50 with gains up to 55 percent each time
  •  Traders now expect another breakout as the current price touches $2,559 near the $2,556 EMA50 level
  • A 25 to 38 percent price jump could push Ethereum to a target range between $3,200 and $3,500 this summer

Ethereum (ETH) is trading just below its 50-week exponential moving average (EMA50), currently positioned at $2,556, as of July 7. The price, which now sits at $2,559, is testing this long-standing resistance for the first time since Q1 2025. According to CryptoBullet’s analysis, ETH may soon break through, targeting gains between 25% and 38%, potentially pushing prices up to the $3,500 mark.

Weekly Chart Shows Multiple Rebounds After EMA50 Breach

Past Ethereum breakouts above the EMA50 have frequently resulted in major upward trends, as recorded on the weekly chart from Binance . In Q4 2023, ETH surged 55.3%, gaining $969, after crossing the EMA50 near $1,700. A similar move occurred earlier that year, producing a 24.26% increase, equal to $418.

Further back, the chart reveals a 22.5% gain or $658 rally in late 2021, and a massive 50.06% increase, adding $1,363, after a crossover in early 2024. These consistent patterns of post-EMA breakout gains have captured trader attention once again. The chart uses black arrows to pinpoint crossover points, while shaded boxes mark percentage gains.

ETH’s present location relative to the EMA50 suggests potential for another major rally. A small push above $2,560 may trigger bullish momentum and a target zone between $3,200 and $3,500. Based on previous rallies, CryptoBullet estimates gains between 25% and 38% are achievable if the breakout holds.

CryptoBullet Predicts Breakout and Summer Rally

CryptoBullet, a technical analyst on X, posted the chart and stated, “$ETH looks good on the weekly. Ready to finally break that damn EMA50!” The tweet, shared on July 7, received over 80K views, 97 reposts, and 873 likes, suggesting strong market engagement.

The tweet also projected a summer rally with a price range of $3,200–$3,500. On June 8, CryptoBullet had earlier tweeted, “This is the only thing holding us back,” referring to the EMA50. The account suggested that average ETH breakouts from the EMA50 lead to rallies, citing historical price action as evidence.

ETH’s current test at the EMA50 has drawn attention from several traders, with users on the post inquiring if the $3,500 level is possible by August. CryptoBullet replied, “Would be great,” without confirming a specific timeline.

Could this be Ethereum’s most decisive breakout of 2025?

Traders Evaluate Support and Market Conditions

Technical traders are monitoring ETH’s positioning closely, especially its ability to hold above $2,550 in the coming sessions. The weekly close is expected to play a critical role in confirming a breakout or another rejection. Historical rejections at the EMA50 have typically led to swift downturns, making this level pivotal.

Multiple arrows on the chart mark rejections across 2022 and 2023. One occurred in late 2022 before a steep drop. Another took place in Q2 2024 after ETH briefly peaked above $4,000. These moments were followed by strong retracements, which investors are cautious to avoid.

If Ethereum fails to maintain upward pressure, traders may look for support between $2,200 and $2,400. The current price action is viewed as a critical inflection point as the market awaits direction. As of this writing, ETH continues to trade within 1% of the EMA50 line.

CryptoBullet has not updated any resistance targets beyond $3,500, but past breakouts suggest that additional gains could follow if price momentum sustains. Traders remain split between anticipation and caution as they track this key technical level.

AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.

Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years

Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.

Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027

Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
