Ethereum is undergoing a major price overhaul in its fortunes right now and has just managed to end an 8-year downward trend against Bitcoin. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is poised to make its mark once again and could be headed toward a $10,000 valuation in the coming months. 

Ethereum’s recent change in fortunes has come right before the highly anticipated end of the 2025 bull market. The catalyst behind the sudden price uptick is largely attributed to two factors: institutional investment in Ethereum ETFs and the deflationary mechanism implemented a couple of years ago. 

The big question is where ETH is headed next.

Both of these important graphs show a resurgent Ethereum that may look to close 2025 on a high. According to Merlijn The Trader, a popular crypto analyst on X:

“THE 8-YEAR ETHEREUM DOWNTREND JUST SNAPPED

$ETH vs $BTC just printed the reversal of a generation.

8 years of pressure. One Golden Cross to unleash it all….”

Ethereum’s strong showing is likely to open the crypto market wide, presenting an opportunity for a major supercycle, similar to those witnessed in 2017 and 2021. Back then, Bitcoin and Ethereum led the way, followed by a massive price surge for the rest of the digital currencies, also known as altcoins.

However, the same pattern has so far eluded the 2025 bull market, with Bitcoin showing a strong uptick and Ethereum struggling to go past 2021 highs, let alone set the pace for the rest of the crypto market.

Can ETH Reach $10k?

Ethereum is currently trading just above the $4.5k valuation at press time. The cryptocurrency posted a new All-Time High (ATH) of $4,950 a few days ago but buckled under a selling wave, dropping roughly 9% in value in the ensuing days.

According to CryptoBoss, a popular crypto analyst on X:

“$ETH breaking resistance, retest and few consolidation here then UP to 10K”

A move to $10k will make Ethereum’s total market capitalization in excess of $1 trillion, making it the second cryptocurrency in history to achieve this feat.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
