Ethereum price continues to consolidate today, September 4, as sentiment in the crypto market remains neutral and as ETH ETF inflows rise. ETH was trading at $4,400, and four key catalysts point to an eventual rebound, potentially to $5,000.
Top Catalysts that Will Boost Ethereum Price to $5k
Ethereum price could be on the verge of more gains to $5,000, helped by numerous catalysts. The first major catalyst is that there is still interest in Ethereum assets.
In a statement, Grayscale, a top asset manager in the crypto space, filed for the Ethereum Covered Call Fund, which will enable users to generate regular income from their investments.
Covered call ETFs generate high dividends by investing in an asset and then selling their call options. They then receive a premium, which they then distribute to investors.
Ethereum price may also jump as whales have continued to buy the tokens. One whale bought tokens worth $100 million on Thursday, a sign that he expects the upward trajectory to continue.
Whale buying is usually a bullish sign because these investors are seen as being more experienced and sophisticated than retail ones. They also have more skin in the game.
Ethereum Whale Buys ETH
Further, the value of ETH will continue doing well as it outperforms other related blockchains like Solana, Tron, and BNB Smart Chain. A good example of this is in the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry, where Ethereum has a market dominance of over 70%.
DeFi applications on the network, like Aave, Uniswap, and Lido have the biggest market share in their respective industries. For example, all DEX platforms on Ethereum handled tokens worth over $3.6 billion in the last 24 hours. The network’s stablecoin supply has also soared to a record high of $150 billion.
ETH Price Technical Analysis
The fourth main catalyst why Ethereum price may surge to $5,000 and beyond is that it has strong technicals. The three-day timeframe shows that the coin sits at the weak, stop, & reverse point of the Murrey Math Lines indicator.
This means it has a long way to go before it reaches the extreme overshoot point at $6,250. Most importantly, the ultimate resistance is at $5,000, raising the possibility that it will get to that level soon.
ETH price has also retested the support at $4,100, the highest level in December. A break-and-retest pattern normally confirms a bullish breakout.

On the flip side, a drop below the support at $4,100 will invalidate the bullish ETH price forecast for 2025, and point to more downside, to the major S/R pivot point at $2,500.
