Ether futures open interest has surged 40% in the last month, indicating increasing trader confidence amid price consolidation. Alongside this, spot Ethereum ETFs have experienced four consecutive weeks of inflows, with a total of 3.77 million ETH held across these funds. BlackRock is heavily investing in Ethereum, acquiring 1.5 million ETH valued at approximately $2.71 billion and reportedly purchasing an additional $500 million in the cryptocurrency over just ten days, showing strong institutional faith despite ETH being 48% lower than its all-time high. According to the Gaussian channel indicator, ETH could push towards a price range of $3,100 to $3,600 if momentum remains steady, following historical patterns of price movements when surpassing key levels. The Ether-based investment products have led the way with $296 million in inflows last week, reflecting revived investor sentiment despite market uncertainties due to regulatory factors. As ETH stabilizes above the mid-line of the Gaussian channel at around $2,570, technical analysis suggests potential for significant gains if positive trends hold.
