Ethereum fights against resistance: Are the $ 4,500?

On October 1, 2025, the Ethereum (ETH) continues to show mixed mood on the market. The price development is noted at $ 4,120 after ETH recently confronted with a resistance to an important descending trend line. Despite the challenges, the Ethereum market experiences a recovery, driven by remarkable tributaries in Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), which reached a total of $ 547 million on Monday and thus ended a five-day discharge series. The tributaries in the US spot ETFs have represented the largest individual inflow since August 14, how [FXSTREE] (https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/ethhereum-price-forecast-faces-rejection-near-Key -Sistance-despite-547-Million-ivflows-202509301934).

The total Netto inflows in the Ethereum ETFs were divided into nine different products, which is the first simultaneous supply since the market launch in July 2024. The Fidelity Ethereum Fund (Feth) recorded the highest inflows with $ 202.18 million, followed by Blackrock Ishares Ethereum Trust (Etha) with $ 154.20 million. This development indicates a regenerative institutional demand, while ETH-Münz payments exceeded the deposits by more than 117,900 ETH, which indicates higher buying pressure.

Market analysis and price movements

Nevertheless, the market remains with caution, especially in the futures market, where the open interest in the past few days has been dampened since September 26th. This reluctance could be due to the persistent concerns of a possible US state bankruptcy that influences the market mood. In the last 24 hours, $ 80.3 million of long positions has occurred, $ 40.7 million only due to liquidated long positions. The Ethereum is now in a price range by $ 4,100, where sales pressure was initiated several times in 2024.

If the ETH price falls below the $ 4,100 mark, support could be found on the 100-day average (SMA). Another negative price development, if this support is not kept, could lead to a further decline towards $ 3,470. On the other hand, to initiate an increase in the direction of $ 4,500, Ethereum has to overcome the descending trendlining resistances. In addition, technical indicators such as the relative strength index (RSI) and the stochastic oscillator are currently signaling a bearish dominance, which leads to further skepticism among investors.
