Ethereum eyes $5,500 but experts say hold on

Ethereum has been behaving like a cat stuck between $4,100 and $4,500 this week, pacing nervously in a cage after a solid rally that got everyone’s hopes up.

This narrow range has become the battleground where bulls and bears are duking it out, waiting for the next big price move, or at least a decent hint. And we got lotta predictions.

The ultimate test

Crypto analyst Ted Pillows has his eyes glued to that $4,500 line. He says a daily close above it could unleash a fresh surge, possibly hauling Ethereum all the way toward $5,000 and beyond.

But if the bulls mishandle this, expect a slide back toward $4,200, because after all, what goes up must sometimes test the floor again.

And if things really get ugly, $3,900 is waiting in the shadows, ready to catch the price if it falls.

The sneaky $4,750 level is the real gatekeeper, holding Ethereum hostage like a particularly stubborn landlord.

Pillows points to this spot as the ultimate test. Break through it cleanly, and the crypto world might just see ETH rocket toward a new ATH, with $5,500 now flashing red on the radar.

Resistance

Crypto strategist Cas Abbe has been tweeting about the perfect weekly retest battle at $4,200, complete with strong volume and momentum.

His charts are singing the sweet song of a breakout, with Ethereum brushing off previous ceilings around $4,000 and setting the stage for a potential moonshot.

His gaze is fixed on November, hoping ETH will boogie between $5,500 and $6,000, right where Fibonacci extensions suggest resistance may try to slow the party down.

The setup is classic, higher lows, more volume, and a sturdy market structure all point to bulls still holding the reins.

But the $4,750 resistance line is like that final boss in a video game, tough but beatable.

Once ETH crosses that mark decisively, expect market mood swings from cautious to downright euphoric.

Another bounce

If momentum fades, though, Ethereum will cozy back into support zones around $4,100 to $4,200, areas that have kept it afloat more than once.

And if it dips further, expect a battle near $3,900 that might just produce another bounce worthy of headlines.

So here’s the cliffhanger, Ethereum is waiting for that breakout moment. Will the bulls muster the strength to shatter the $4,750 ceiling and sprint toward $5,500?

Or will the bears steal the show and drag prices back down the rabbit hole? Either way, the next few weeks promise to be thrilling.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
