Why is Ethereum Price Rising Today?
Ethereum price performance relative to its peers shows strength. While altcoins gave gains back to the market due to Bitcoin’s sudden downtrend, Ethereum price climbs higher. This strength shows a paradigm shift that hints at an end of Ether’s lackluster performance. If BTC consolidates or climbs higher, the ETH price could extend its gains. But a drop in BTC toward $90k could delay this uptrend. could drop lower or climb higher.

How ETH Gas Affects Ethereum Price
The blockchain upgrades Ethereum receives aim to solve the trilemma of blockchain, i.e., balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted post-upgrade, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.
As of November 30, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 3 PM is 14 Gwei.
When Ethereum’s on-chain value grows, presenting opportunities, investors flock, driving gas fees up. This typically occurs during market upswings, peaking at all-time highs.

Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Rallies As Sell Signals Emerge
Ethereum price flashes a sell signal on the daily chart due to the non-conformity between the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). When the price produces higher highs and RSI sets up lower highs, it denotes that momentum is lacking. Such moves are often undone as reality hits. ETH is in such a situation where the hype has not died down. Most investors assume that this is a show of strength after months of lackluster performance.
While it may be true, the on-chain metric reveals that it might not be the case.
Santiment’s 30-day Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) indicator hints that unrealized profits are climbing and could pose a threat. This index tracks the average profit/loss of investors who purchased ETH in the past month. A high positive value shows that many investors are sitting on unrealized profits, which is a sell signal. These investors cover their gains by selling, triggering a correction.
For Ethereum price, the 30-day MVRV hitting 13% to 22% is that danger zone, where price has often reversed in the past year repeatedly. Now that this indicator is inside this zone, it likely adds to the bearish divergence sell signal and hints that it could resolve, leading to a correction.
All in all, investors can expect ETH to correct in November or early December. For the rest of the year, aka in December, ETH will most likely kickstart an uptrend to $4,000 and be a top contender to most altcoins and eye a retest of $5,000.
If it is strength that ETH is displaying, then there shouldn’t be a correction and should see Ethereum price climb higher. A retest of $4,000 psychological level should be next and would invalidate this short-term bearish thesis.

In the latest development in the long-running XRP lawsuit, the US Court of Appeals has granted Ripple and the SEC’s joint motion to suspend their respective appeals. This will give both parties time to finalize the settlement in the long-running legal battle.
XRP Lawsuit: Court Grants Ripple & SEC’s Joint Motion
As revealed in a court document, the US Court of Appeals has granted Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) joint motion to hold the appeal in abeyance. The court has further directed the Commission to file a status report within 60 days of this order.
This court order consequently suspends the ongoing appeal and cross-appeal filed by the SEC and Ripple, respectively. As CoinGape reported, both parties had filed the joint motion to suspend the appeals in light of them reaching a settlement.
The SEC and Ripple argued that holding the appeal in abeyance will help conserve judicial and party resources while they both continue to pursue a negotiated resolution of this matter.
In March, Ripple agreed to drop its cross-appeal against the SEC following the latter’s decision to drop its appeal in the long-running XRP lawsuit. However, the matter is yet to be finalized as both parties revealed in the filing that they need additional time to obtain the Commission approval for their agreement-in-principle.
Once approved, both parties will still need to get an indicative ruling from the District Court. As part of the agreement, Ripple and the SEC had agreed that the former would only pay $50 million out of the $125 million penalty that Judge Analisa Torres awarded against the crypto firm. The Commission also agreed to request that Judge Torres lift the standard injunction that it imposed on Ripple.
Possible Reason For The Delay?
It remains unclear why the Commission has yet to approve the agreement in the XRP lawsuit. However, a possible reason could be that the SEC is holding out for Paul Atkins to assume office.
As CoinGape reported, the US Senate has confirmed Atkins as the next SEC Chair. The next step is for US President Donald Trump to sign off on the confirmation and swear him in as Gary Gensler’s successor.
Once the Commission approves the agreement, Ripple and the SEC will ask Judge Torres for relief from her earlier judgment. Once that happens, the Court of Appeals can strike out the appeal and remand the case to the District court for a full ruling on the agreement.

A large Ripple whale has moved 29,532,534 XRP, valued at $63.81 million, from an unknown wallet to Coinbase. This Ripple whale transfer comes at a time when XRP is making waves in the cryptocurrency market, positioning itself as one of the top candidates for a U.S. spot ETF approval.
XRP’s increasing liquidity and recent developments have placed it in direct competition with Solana (SOL) for ETF approval, with analysts predicting XRP may secure approval sooner than its rivals.
XRP’s Growing Liquidity Boosts ETF Prospects
XRP has shown a marked improvement in liquidity over the past few months, positioning itself as a strong contender for a U.S. spot ETF. A study of market depth done by Kaiko Indices shows that XRP and Solana have the deepest 1% market depth on vetted exchanges. XRP’s liquidity has increased since late 2024, outperforming that of Solana and even risen to two times that of Cardano’s ADA.
Several events have enhanced XRP’s liquidity, such as Teucrium’s launching of a 2x XRP ETF in the recent past. This leveraged product tracks European ETPs and swap agreements, offering double the daily returns of XRP.
On the launch date, it traded above $5 million, becoming the best-performing fund for the Teucrium Fund Company. Such momentum brings XRP the vital support for its objective to establish a place in the approval process for the U.S. spot ETF.
Despite the absence of a robust futures market, as seen in BTC, XRP has gradually made an increased impression in the US spot market. This triggered the token’s market share to go to the highest level since the SEC lawsuit in 2021, which triggered multiple delistings.
In this regard, Solana’s market share has decreased to 16% from the 25-30% recorded in 2022. According to analysts, XRP continues to trade significantly in the spot market, which could pave the way for approval soon.
Ripple’s Push for ETF Approval
The SEC has approved various filings for XRP spot ETFs, with a key deadline for Grayscale’s amendment scheduled for May 22. Additional good news came from the regulatory channel, confirming Paul Atkins as the new SEC Chair. Since several deadlines are set for the ETFs in the cryptocurrency market, Atkins’ leadership could determine the fate of XRP and other assets.
XRP’s situation differs from Bitcoin’s, as it lacks a robust futures market, making the cryptocurrency’s regulatory landscape more complex. However, rising liquidity and introducing the 2x XRP ETF have shifted the narrative firmly towards Ripple’s token. Therefore, the steps taken by the SEC in reaction to Grayscale’s filing will set the direction through which XRP may or may not get approval.
Despite this, according to data from Polymarket, there is a 74% chance that XRP will be approved for a spot ETF by December 31, 2025. However, there is still cautious optimism in the option market for XRP.
Data from Deribit reveals an abundance of bear call options, indicating that traders mainly hedge against further downside. This is partly due to worries from the broader market, such as macroeconomic issues that may affect crypto assets, like the Trump tariffs.
XRP Price Trend Amid Ripple Whale Moves
Looking at the technical analysis of the XRP price, there are indications of purely bullish opportunities. According to crypto analyst TheDefilink, XRP price is presently trading above key support levels on the daily charts, and as signified by the Ichimoku Cloud, the trend remains bullish.
In addition, large token transfers mean that Ripple whales are active on the market. The latest 29 million XRP transferred to Coinbase, alongside the 70 million XRP transfer between two unknown wallets, also depicts interest in XRP.
Additionally, the tightening of XRP’s Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) suggests a potential golden cross could be forming, a pattern often associated with upward price movements.
According to the analyst, XRP price resistance levels are $2.23 and $2.50, with support levels at $1.96 and $1.61. A successful move above the $2.23 resistance could further energize the bullish sentiment surrounding XRP, aligning with a recent CoinGape XRP price analysis.
However, failure to hold the $1.96 support level might lead to a shift in market sentiment, potentially triggering a bearish correction in the short term.

Despite being the second biggest cryptocurrency, Ethereum has witnessed the worst quarterly price performance of 5 years in Q1 2025. With continuous bears’ dominance and macroeconomic events putting downward pressure on the altcoin, it is down significantly. However, that might change as the ETH price chart shows a bullish sign.
Ethereum Price Up for Rally As Buying Signal Flashes
Ethereum’s downtrend resulted in the token’s crashing to a low of $1,400 earlier in the month. Experts have attributed this fall to investors’ bearish sentiments and the overall crypto market crash. However, the Ethereum price drop against Bitcoin to its lowest in years indicates underlying performance issues.
While the selling sentiments remain, a buy signal has formed in the ETH price chart, presenting the possibility of a rebound. According to the crypto analyst Ali Martinez’s X post, the TD sequential indicator is presenting Setup 9, i.e., an indicator of trend reversal.
ETH may be gearing up for a major rebound, with the TD Sequential flashing a buy signal on the weekly chart!
The “9” is historically proven to mark the end of the bearish trend and present buying opportunities. Moreover, the smaller body size of the candle suggests weakening selling pressure and traders opting to buy.
Besides, no major resistance near the chart exists, so a smooth uptrend can form unless any major macroeconomic event interferes.
Symmetrical Triangle Formation Supports Ethereum Price’s Bullish Outlook
With a 3% recovery over the week, Ethereum currently trades at $1,639.91 with a market capitalization of $197.88B. Although the recovery is slow, the token moves in a symmetrical triangle formation, simultaneously opening the possibility of an uptrend or a downtrend.
If the ETH price moves up, it could rally to $1,900, but a downside move could result in a crash to $1,380. Although uncertainty remains amid Trump’s tariff trade war, the long-term bullish Ethereum price prediction is sustained.
Considering the same, a crypto whale has just opened a $12.6M ETH Long with 5x leverage, influencing investors’ sentiments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
