Volumes on ETH futures on CME surpass $1 billion while altcoin breaks $4,000: Where does Ethereum hit a new all-time high?

Over the past few weeks, public attention has been focused on bitcoin, which has been extending its influence both on the market and the information space. Notably, the altcoin market did not show significant capitalization growth during these weeks. The main projects focused on attracting investment and expanding ecosystem's capabilities. However, ETH stands out, managing to feel confident both within its own blockchain and in the cryptocurrency market. Over the last week, the coin showed a 17% gain and will soon hit a new all-time high.

Besides bitcoin's positive impact, several important factors contributed to ETH getting closer to its historical high. The local trading high for ether futures on the Chicago Board of Trade is considered a major one. Real interest in ether futures has reached $1 billion for the first time since trading was launched. Notably, there was a significant increase in ETH futures interest in early September. Besides, institutional interest in altcoin exceeded bitcoin's values. However, the SEC soon stated that approval of bitcoin futures ETF was much more likely than on the spot market. BTC has dominated the market since then. However, the achievement of such a figure on the CME by altcoin indicates that the market continues to be interested in the main alternative coin. At the same time, it is worth noting a huge difference between the investment appeal of BTC and ETH as the main cryptocurrency took one day to reach the $1 billion mark, while Ethereum futures fund was launched in February 2021.

Despite the gap between the demand for the two market leaders, altcoin is completely enjoying its advantage in the DeFi and NFT sectors. The MonoX platform announced a partnership with ether blockchain and Polygon. Currently, platform users will be able to conduct transactions in the ETH network and make deposits in one-way liquidity pools. This collaboration will significantly reduce fees and improve capital efficiency. Etherium becomes a full-fledged launch pad for digital projects, increasing the retail audience's exposure to small financial transactions and allowing institutional investors to invest in projects based on the most versatile and secure blockchain. This caused the growth of the coin's quotes.

Yesterday, on October 20, Etherium broke the resistance point at $4,000 due to a combination of factors, comprehensive development and general market sentiment. Over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency gained 12% and is trading around $4,300 at 2 p.m. At the same time, a steadily high rate of unique addresses in the coin network and the average level of transaction volumes are observed. Ethereum will soon approach and make a bullish break of all-time high. This is stated by the technical indicators of the altcoin: all timeframes indicate a further upward movement and a strong bullish momentum that continues to push the price up. On the daily chart, the MACD has received an additional upward signal and started a direct upward move, while the stochastic approaches the end of the realization of the bullish crossover, though continues to go up. The Relative Strength Index is at 75 and continues to move higher, indicating that the upward trend in buyer interest is continuing.

Today, on October 21, ETH/USD will most likely break the absolute record line. As part of the current bullish rally, altcoin is able to make three key stops. After updating the high, the price will climb to $5,500, where it may face increased resistance due to a corrective structure and partial profit taking. In case of reaching this line, ETH will move to $6,400, where it will more likely end the growth in the current market phase. A very implicit assumption was made by a famous analyst Raoul Pal, suggesting that the price per ether will reach $40,000 by May-June. This scenario is possible. However, the distance is too great to make such promising predictions.
