After reaching new local highs, the market is cooling down, but sentiment remains strong as major players continue to accumulate.<\/p>\n<p>In a notable move, World Liberty Financial (WLFI)\u2014a decentralized finance protocol and cryptocurrency company founded in 2024 and owned by US President Donald Trump\u2014purchased an additional $2,010,000 worth of ETH just hours ago. This follows several consecutive days of wallet activity tied to WLFI, signaling continued confidence in Ethereum\u2019s upside potential.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of this purchase is key. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-etf-inflows-surge-2-18b-in-a-week-fomo-just-getting-started\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Ethereum<\/a> appears to be entering a new expansion phase, supported by improved fundamentals, growing institutional interest, and strong DeFi momentum. While short-term volatility may persist, the ongoing accumulation from high-profile investors adds weight to speculation that Ethereum could resume its climb after this consolidation.<\/p>\n<h2>Institutional Demand, Legal Clarity, and Macro Strength Fuel Ethereum Bullish Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>Top analyst Ted Pillows <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TedPillows\/status\/1948287721270575237\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reports<\/a> that World Liberty Financial now holds $281,000,000 worth of Ethereum. This massive accumulation reflects a rising trend of institutional interest in ETH, which could continue to expand in the weeks ahead. Pillows suggests that as long as large entities like WLFI keep acquiring ETH, the asset\u2019s long-term outlook remains structurally bullish.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-539216 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_826b11.jpeg?resize=843%2C660\" alt=\"WLFI latest Ethereum purchases | Source: Ted Pillows on X\" width=\"843\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_826b11.jpeg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_826b11.jpeg?w=536 536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_826b11.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_826b11.jpeg?w=843 843w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_826b11.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/btc_826b11.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\"><\/p>\n<p>Beyond institutional demand, recent legislative breakthroughs in the US are providing fresh tailwinds for Ethereum. The approval of the GENIUS Act and the Clarity Act by the US Congress marks a turning point in the regulatory landscape. These bills aim to provide legal clarity and protections for decentralized finance and crypto protocols, potentially unlocking broader adoption and capital inflows into the space.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the macroeconomic backdrop has turned more favorable. Fears of recession and aggressive tightening have faded, while equity markets, including the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq, are setting new all-time highs. This shift in sentiment is reducing risk aversion across the board, allowing crypto assets like Ethereum to benefit from renewed appetite among institutional and retail investors.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH Price Analysis: Local Pullback After Sharp Rally<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading around $3,595 after a notable rejection from the $3,860 resistance zone, as shown in the 12-hour chart. ETH reached a local top just below $3,900 before entering a corrective phase. Despite the pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with all key moving averages trending upward\u201450 SMA at $3,005, 100 SMA at $2,759, and 200 SMA at $2,469\u2014well below the current price action.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-539222 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?resize=980%2C570\" alt=\"ETH finds resistance after strong rally | Source: ETHUSDT chart on TradingView\" width=\"980\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?w=2368 2368w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ETHUSD_2025-07-24_06-34-12.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>The $3,742 level, which acted as short-term support, has now turned into a pivot zone. Ethereum is attempting to consolidate between $3,750 and $3,500, with bulls needing to defend current levels to avoid a deeper retracement. If this zone fails to hold, the next strong support lies around $3,000, which marked previous resistance during the consolidation phase in May and June.<\/p>\n<p>Volume has declined slightly after the breakout, suggesting a temporary cooldown. However, as long as ETH stays above the $3,000 psychological and technical support, the uptrend remains intact. A break above $3,860 could trigger the next leg toward $4,000 and beyond, while a drop below $3,500 could lead to a retest of the $3,000\u2013$3,200 demand zone.<\/p>\n<p>Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum is undergoing a healthy correction following an explosive multi-week rally that saw its price surge by more than 80% since late June.
