Ether (ETH) pushed into uncharted territory Sunday, clearing $4,900 on Coinbase at 5:40 p.m. UTC and surpassing its prior record of $4,867 set on Nov. 8, 2021.<\/p>\n

The five-year ETH-USD price chart from TradingView shows a clean, multi-year breakout: ETH has finally vaulted the 2021 high after a long consolidation, leaving no historical overhead levels to lean on. <\/p>\n

This is what traders call price discovery \u2014 the market is printing new highs with only psychology and order flow to guide it rather than prior chart resistance.<\/p>\n

\"Five-year<\/p>\n

The 5-day view fills in the tape action. After a fast run from the mid-$4,700s, ETH pushed through $4,900 and reached an intraday high around $4,946.90. At the time of the chart snapshot \u2014 6:48 p.m. UTC \u2014 the last price was about $4,941.57. That sequence signals buyers absorbed supply near the old ceiling and then forced a fresh high, a classic breakout pattern.<\/p>\n

\"ETH-USD<\/p>\n

Analyst Miles Deutsher summed up<\/a> the leadership shift as \u201cBTC is exhausted, ETH isn\u2019t.\u201d In plain English, he is flagging relative momentum: bitcoin\u2019s rallies have stalled near recent highs while ether just broke into price discovery. <\/p>\n

When a market says one asset is \u201cexhausted,\u201d it usually means upside attempts are fading, follow-through is weak, and sellers keep meeting pushes higher; \u201cisn\u2019t\u201d means the opposite \u2014 stronger follow-through, fresh highs, and active dip-buying. Traders often rotate toward the asset showing higher relative strength when the other leader tires.<\/p>\n

Crypto Rover focused<\/a> on supply on exchanges. \u201cExchange reserves\u201d refers to coins held in wallets controlled by centralized trading venues. <\/p>\n

When those balances trend down, fewer coins are immediately available to sell. If demand rises as liquid supply thins, price can accelerate because buyers must bid higher to coax coins off-exchange back into circulation. That is the mechanic behind his \u201csupply shock\u201d phrasing \u2014 not a guarantee of straight-up prices, but a setup where scarcity can magnify moves once momentum starts.<\/p>\n

Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe offered<\/a> a risk check. He highlighted the unusually large weekly candle and cautioned that weekend breakouts often retrace when liquidity normalizes early in the week. <\/p>\n

The idea is simple: weekend order books can be thinner, so moves extend more easily; when fuller participation returns on Monday, prices sometimes retest the breakout area to confirm it as support before trending again. In practice, that means a pullback toward the breakout zone would not, by itself, negate the larger bullish break you see on the 5-year chart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
