As of July 20, 2025, Ethereum’s price is considered bullish if it stays above $4,265. If it drops below $4,235, the sentiment becomes bearish. Currently, the price is at $4,298. The main target is $4,400, and Ethereum futures are up, which boosts returns through leverage. On Friday, Ethereum saw big gains, hitting a high of $4,375. It’s currently trading around $4,300, but it needs to break through the resistance at $4,374 to reach $4,400 and possibly $4,465.

For partial bullish profit-taking, targets include $4,282, $4,299, $4,318, $4,331, $4,367, and $4,400, with a further target of $4,463.

TradeCompass promotes disciplined trading, preventing overtrading by encouraging partial exits and strategic stop placements. Recently, Ethereum’s market share has increased compared to Bitcoin, thanks to its strong brand and positive momentum. Looking back to late July, the bullish plan worked well. The primary target of $4,400 was reached, and the market even tested $4,465 at the end of the month. This confirmed that institutional interest around the VWAP and liquidity pools was strong. Now, in the second week of August, the market is in a consolidation phase following the rally. Ethereum is trading around $4,150, testing important support levels after being unable to hold the highs. Recent data shows that Ethereum futures open interest has dropped from over $15 billion in late July to about $13.8 billion, indicating some profit-taking. In early August, more ETH moved onto major exchanges, hinting at a shift from buying to selling among traders. This suggests that aggressive bullish momentum has slowed, especially after uncertainty from a U.S. regulatory hearing on digital asset custody last week. For those trading derivatives, levels from July have flipped. The previous bullish entry point of $4,265 is now a critical resistance level to monitor. A clear breakout above this price is needed for buyers to regain momentum. This price action is reminiscent of the summer of 2021 when a strong rally led to sideways movement before the next big trend. Even with the recent pullback, Ethereum has kept most of its gains from its earlier outperformance against Bitcoin this year. In the short term, traders should shift their focus from chasing trends to trading within the established range. It might be better to sell options premiums or set alerts at the boundaries of this range instead of making aggressive trades. Patience is essential as the market figures out whether this is just a pause before another rise or the start of a larger pullback.
