Ethereum Rises 1.81% Today Near $4,460

Highlights

Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $4,459.02, up 1.81% today, just below the short-term MA-20 at $4,483.17, with mixed short-term technicals.
ETF inflows for Ethereum have surpassed $1.2 billion and total assets under management exceeded $27 billion on August 31, 2025, signaling strong institutional demand.
ETH is expected to trade between $4,310.21 and $4,519.96 this week, with sideways movement near $4,400 likely and downside risk expanding if support at $4,260 fails.

Institutional inflows sustain optimism as traders eye support breach risk

Ethereum crossed the $4,400 mark on August 31, 2025, showing positive momentum as ETF inflows topped $1.2 billion and total assets under management surpassed $27 billion. Continued strong institutional demand and the growth of Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism are contributing to the asset’s long-term outlook. However, the recent slip below the $4,500 support level is raising caution among traders about the risk of additional short-term downside.

Mixed technical signals as weak momentum tempers bullish trend

Technical analysis reveals dynamic support for ETH near the Ichimoku Kijun line at $4,260.49, while resistance sits at the MA-20 near $4,483 and psychological interest centers around $4,500. The MACD on the daily chart is strongly bullish, but the ADX points to weak momentum and some increased selling. RSI is just below neutral at 47.87, supplemented by oversold Stoch RSI and a CCI signaling consolidation. The BBP and Awesome Oscillator remain neutral, underlining mixed intraday trends with moderate volatility.

Sideways bias prevails as limited bullish confirmation curbs upside

For the upcoming week, ETH is expected to trade between $4,310.21 and $4,519.96. With only the MACD and MA-50 on weekly intervals supporting a bullish move, while RSI and ADX do not, further price gains are unlikely and a pullback is more probable. The baseline scenario is for sideways movement near $4,400, with a bullish outcome possible if the price breaks above $4,483, setting up a test of $4,500. If ETH falls below support at $4,260, downside risk could expand toward the $4,100 area.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Ethereum’s technical picture as mixed, with modest gains countered by signs of waning momentum and short-term resistance near the $4,483 mark. He believes the baseline is for sideways movement around $4,400 — unless ETH can close above the $4,483 resistance, the risk of a pullback toward $4,260 or even $4,100 remains elevated. "Until there’s a clear break above $4,483, I’m staying neutral and focused on capital protection."

Previously it was noted that whale moves, global liquidity, and technical breakouts will shape whether the month brings another bearish stretch — or sets the stage for Q4’s traditionally stronger rallies. It was also reported that both Bitcoin and Ethereum faced pressure from options expiry and significant profit-taking activity among large holders.
