ETFs will usher institutions into altcoins, just like Bitcoin: Analyst

Analysts note that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has received five new alt‑coin ETF filings in October, signalling growing regulator confidence. Spot Ether ETFs have already attracted $9.6 billion in inflows this quarter, outpacing Bitcoin’s $8.7 billion. The commentary highlights that while Bitcoin ETFs have benefited from heavyweight managers like BlackRock, the alt‑coin space still lacks a marquee sponsor, which could temper early inflows. Nonetheless, smart‑money traders are positioning for approval, with Uniswap, Aave and Chainlink emerging as the most‑watched holdings.

If the SEC green‑lights at least one of these alt‑coin ETFs, institutional capital could flow into Ethereum‑based assets at scale, reinforcing Ether’s role as the primary gateway to the broader DeFi ecosystem. A surge in ETF demand would likely lift ETH’s price and improve market depth, reducing volatility and encouraging further derivative product development. Conversely, a prolonged approval delay could keep institutional exposure limited, maintaining the current modest upside for ETH relative to Bitcoin.

Protect Bitcoin Exposure with Ether Shorts: Research Firm

10x Research advises investors to hedge bullish Bitcoin positions by shorting Ether, citing weaker demand for ETH and constrained capital among its largest buyers. The firm points to a rise in put‑option activity on ETH and a slowdown in retail purchases, while major miners such as Bitmine Immersion Technologies have reduced their acquisition pace. The recommendation suggests a long‑Bitcoin/short‑Ether stance as an attractive risk‑adjusted play, especially if Bitcoin can break out of its current consolidation range.

Should market participants heed this hedge, ETH could experience additional selling pressure, potentially widening the BTC‑ETH price divergence. A sustained short bias might suppress ETH’s rally even if Bitcoin gains momentum, leading to a lower relative valuation for Ether. However, if the broader crypto market rebounds, the short positions could be covered quickly, prompting a sharp bounce in ETH prices and a temporary spike in volatility.

ETH Selloff Meets Late Bounce as Volume Climbs; Range Tightens as Risk Appetite Plunges

Ethereum traded between $3,731 and $3,921 after a breakdown at resistance, followed by a late rebound that tightened its range. The move occurred amid macro‑economic headwinds, including recent comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and ongoing U.S.–China trade talks. Volume spiked during the breakdown, indicating heightened trader interest. Key technical levels were identified at $3,760 and $3,880 for resistance, with $3,731 serving as a critical support zone.

The pattern suggests a short‑term consolidation phase for ETH, with the potential for a breakout either upward—if risk sentiment improves—or downward—if macro pressures persist. Traders may watch the $3,731 support closely; a breach could trigger algorithmic sell‑offs, dragging ETH lower and pressuring alt‑coin sentiment. Conversely, a decisive move above $3,880 could attract momentum buyers, reinforcing ETH’s role as a risk‑on asset in the broader crypto market.

Ethereum Developers Lock In Fusaka Upgrade for Dec. 3 With PeerDAS Rollout

The Ethereum core team confirmed the Fusaka hard‑fork for December 3, introducing the PeerDAS protocol that lets validators verify only portions of data. This upgrade aims to cut bandwidth usage and lower costs for both validators and Layer‑2 solutions, enhancing scalability and transaction affordability. The decision was finalized during the All Core Developers Consensus Layer call after successful testing on the Hoodi testnet, with activation slated for slot 13,164,544 at roughly 21:49 UTC

Fusaka’s efficiency gains could make Ethereum more attractive to developers and enterprises seeking low‑cost, high‑throughput environments, potentially boosting on‑chain activity and demand for ETH as gas fee collateral. Anticipation of the upgrade often fuels speculative buying, so a smooth rollout may catalyze a price uptick. Conversely, any post‑fork technical hiccups could erode confidence, prompting short‑term price volatility and a reassessment of ETH’s scalability narrative.

Why can’t Ethereum hold $4K? ETH recovery in doubt as data leans bearish

Analysts observe that Ethereum is struggling to maintain levels above $4,000, with on‑chain activity and futures demand weakening. Despite recent ETF inflows, bullish sentiment remains muted and network fees have declined. Technical outlook points to $3,800 and $3,500 as immediate support zones, with a failure to reclaim $4,000 potentially opening the path to further downside. The market is divided on whether the current dip represents a bear trap or a deeper correction.

A sustained inability to break the $4,000 barrier could reinforce bearish narratives, prompting risk‑off flows from ETH into Bitcoin or stablecoins. This may depress liquidity on Ethereum‑based DeFi protocols, slowing fee generation and undermining the economic incentives for validators. Conversely, a decisive rebound above $4,000 would validate the efficacy of recent ETF inflows and the upcoming Fusaka upgrade, likely reigniting investor confidence and supporting a broader alt‑coin rally.
