This pushed ETHA\u2019s assets under management to $5.6 billion, reinforcing its position as the dominant spot Ethereum ETF in the US. In total, Ethereum-focused ETFs attracted roughly $703 million last week, marking their third-largest weekly inflow since launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Momentum has been building for weeks. ETHA\u2019s 30-day average trading volume has climbed to 18.83 million shares, a sharp rise from around 13 million in early June. Last Wednesday alone saw 43 million ETHA shares change hands: the most active day since the ETF\u2019s debut a year ago. These aren\u2019t just short-term speculators rotating capital. Since early June, ETHA has seen over $1.2 billion in net inflows, including $159 million last Tuesday alone, the largest single-day inflow since June 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It was a big year for crypto, and not just in terms of returns. \u2060<br>\u2060<br>The SEC&#39;s approval of spot bitcoin and ethereum ETFs \u2014 in January and July respectively \u2014 ushered in a new era of cryptocurrency trading. \u2060<br>\u2060<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HSX7Ce2x3V\">https:\/\/t.co\/HSX7Ce2x3V<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bOwJr3Rg2k\">pic.twitter.com\/bOwJr3Rg2k<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Yahoo Finance (@YahooFinance) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YahooFinance\/status\/1874267508745613649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 1, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Options Traders Double Down on the Upside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The options market tells the same story. Bullish bets dominate, with call options significantly outpacing puts across multiple expiry dates. Open interest in ETHA options has hit its highest level in a year, pointing to strong expectations for more upside. For the 18 July expiry, traders are concentrated around the $22 strike (roughly $3,000 ETH), with growing interest at $23 and $24. These higher strikes suggest that traders aren\u2019t just betting on Ethereum holding its ground\u2014they\u2019re positioning for acceleration toward $3,200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sentiment carries through to later expiries. For 25 July, calls at $23 and $24 strikes remain dominant, while lighter open interest at $25 and $26 shows that some are eyeing a move to $3,300. The trend continues through 1 August and 8 August, with call-heavy positioning up to $26, and minimal protection on the downside. That\u2019s a clear signal that most traders see ETH holding above $3,000, with the door open to further gains if momentum continues<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Crypto Week in Washington Changes the Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But this isn\u2019t happening in a vacuum. Ethereum\u2019s rally coincides with a pivotal week in Washington. Lawmakers have kicked off what\u2019s being dubbed \u201cCrypto Week\u201d\u2014a series of debates around three major bills that could reshape the regulatory framework for digital assets in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bitcoin&#39;s new record lifts industry stocks ahead of &#39;Crypto Week&#39; in Washington <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/H3Ib9WhA0r\">https:\/\/t.co\/H3Ib9WhA0r<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/H3Ib9WhA0r\">https:\/\/t.co\/H3Ib9WhA0r<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reuters\/status\/1943714456774574520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/3633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Digital Asset Market Clarity <\/a>Act aims to draw a clear line between securities and commodities, giving the CFTC control over crypto trading and offering exemptions for mature decentralised networks. The industry has long pushed for this kind of clarity, and progress here could finally loosen the regulatory gridlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More immediate is the <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Business\/genius-act-crypto-regulation-bill\/story?id=121981442\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">GENIUS Act<\/a>, which sets the first real framework for stablecoins. With bipartisan support and Senate approval already in hand, the bill mandates 1:1 reserve backing, licensing, and monthly disclosures. It brings stablecoin issuers under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.occ.treas.gov\/topics\/supervision-and-examination\/bsa\/index-bsa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bank Secrecy Act compliance<\/a>\u2014a huge step toward legitimising digital dollars. President Trump has pledged to sign the bill, giving it even more traction. Stablecoins are the backbone of crypto liquidity, and clarity here may unlock more institutional flows into assets like Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act aims to block the US Federal Reserve from launching a central bank digital currency without Congressional approval. Though politically charged, it plays well with the crypto crowd and signals a legislative tilt toward open networks rather than centralised digital control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These developments aren\u2019t just speculative tailwinds. They offer a potential legal foundation for the next phase of crypto adoption. Even if all three bills don\u2019t pass immediately, their progression alone is shifting sentiment\u2014and the market is clearly responding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Momentum Is Strong, but Risks Still Linger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, traders should be careful. Citi analysts have warned that digital assets are still a long way from earning comparisons to traditional safe-haven assets like gold. The pace of Ethereum\u2019s move, while underpinned by strong inflows, raises the risk of short-term exhaustion or profit-taking\u2014especially from traders sitting on leveraged long positions or deep-in-the-money options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, Ethereum\u2019s rally rests on more than hype. Real capital is moving. Regulatory winds are shifting. And traders, both retail and institutional, are reacting accordingly. So long as ETF flows continue and US legislation maintains its course, Ethereum\u2019s recovery looks grounded\u2014though volatility is never far from the surface in crypto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Key Movements of the Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traders are watching carefully for confirmation moves as the US dollar attempts to reclaim momentum and macro forces like inflation and tariffs linger in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1722\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-11.png 1722w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-11-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-11-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-11-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-11-1536x824.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1722px) 100vw, 1722px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The US dollar index (USDX) is slowly grinding higher, but it\u2019s approaching a key test. Price action near the <strong>97.70 zone<\/strong> may act as a turning point. If USD strength pushes beyond that level, bears are eyeing the next resistance around <strong>98.10<\/strong>. A breakout here could reshape short-term expectations for FX pairs, especially if Tuesday\u2019s US CPI surprises to the upside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EURUSD is drifting lower, with traders now watching for signs of bullish reversal at <strong>1.1660<\/strong> or <strong>1.1605<\/strong>. These levels represent key structure zones, and a CPI beat could keep the euro on the defensive. However, any softness in inflation could ignite a retracement rally, particularly if European sentiment stabilises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1717\" height=\"926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-12.png 1717w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-12-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-12-1024x552.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-12-768x414.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-12-1536x828.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1717px) 100vw, 1717px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>GBPUSD has entered a slower consolidation phase. With UK CPI due Wednesday, bulls are looking for a bounce near <strong>1.3415<\/strong>. That zone could offer a tactical long setup if inflation surprises are mild. But if broader USD strength continues, any upside may remain capped under <strong>1.3535\u20131.3570<\/strong> resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USDJPY has already rejected from the <strong>147.75<\/strong> zone and is now consolidating. If the pair breaks higher on fresh inflation momentum, <strong>148.05<\/strong> becomes the next upside magnet. However, traders should be cautious\u2014any rejection near these levels could signal a short-term top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USDCHF continues to inch upward, heading toward <strong>0.8050<\/strong>. With little data from Switzerland this week, USD direction will likely dictate where this pair goes next. Traders should watch closely how price behaves once it reaches that resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the commodity currencies, AUDUSD is holding above its consolidation zone. If price remains stable around <strong>0.6550<\/strong>, bulls may step in ahead of Thursday\u2019s Australian jobs report. A move higher would put <strong>0.6665<\/strong> back on the radar. Similarly, NZDUSD has traded down from the <strong>0.6050<\/strong> level and may print a new swing low before finding support. Watch for base-building before considering long positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>USDCAD is testing the <strong>1.3715<\/strong> resistance area. If price breaks through with conviction\u2014especially post-CPI\u2014it could quickly move to test the <strong>1.37587<\/strong> high. The tug-of-war between Canadian inflation and US macro signals will be central here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1719\" height=\"917\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-13.png 1719w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-13-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-13-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-13-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-13-1536x819.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1719px) 100vw, 1719px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Commodities remain on a knife\u2019s edge.

On the downside, <strong>63.35<\/strong> and <strong>61.00<\/strong> remain key supports to watch for reversal setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1722\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-14.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-14.png 1722w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-14-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-14-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-14-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/sv-eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/07\/image-14-1536x824.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1722px) 100vw, 1722px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gold has finally broken above its trendline, suggesting bullish momentum is beginning to return. If prices consolidate cleanly above the breakout zone, bulls will likely aim for 3340 next.

Price has support around <strong>6230<\/strong>, with deeper downside capped at <strong>6170<\/strong>.

Price is approaching the <strong>122,100 to 124,720<\/strong> zone\u2014a key area where profit-taking could occur. Still, momentum remains constructive, and the broader crypto environment continues to benefit from ETF flows and the regulatory optimism spilling over from Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural Gas (NG) is still dancing around the <strong>3.35<\/strong> zone. If it pushes higher, <strong>3.40<\/strong> is the next resistance level to watch. Volatility remains high here as seasonal shifts and supply dynamics continue to affect trader sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week\u2019s price action is less about chasing breakouts and more about timing entries at known technical zones. Many major pairs are sitting near decision points. Patience\u2014and precision\u2014will be key as traders wait for the next macro catalyst to tip the scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Key Events of the Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a relatively quiet start to the month, this week swings the spotlight back onto macro data. Traders won\u2019t have to guess where market sentiment might shift next with the calendar loaded with reports that could redefine interest rate expectations across major currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All eyes are first on <strong>Tuesday, 15 July<\/strong>, where both Canada and the United States drop their latest inflation readings. For Canada, the <strong>CPI y\/y is forecast at 3.60%<\/strong>, down from the previous 3.85%. A softer print could reignite dovish bets for the Bank of Canada, particularly if USD strength persists. However, the crosscurrents from ongoing US tariff issues may muddy CAD\u2019s reaction, especially if broader risk appetite begins to falter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US print could steal the show. <strong>Headline CPI y\/y is forecast to rise to 2.60%, up from 2.40%<\/strong>. This is not the direction markets nor the Trump administration want to see. A hotter inflation number here could stall any discussion of near-term rate cuts from the Fed. The result? A stronger dollar and potentially sharp downside in risk-sensitive FX pairs like AUDUSD and NZDUSD. Even equities may pause if markets begin re-pricing the Fed\u2019s glidepath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On <strong>Wednesday, 16 July<\/strong>, the UK delivers its CPI data, forecast flat at <strong>3.40% y\/y<\/strong>. With no change expected, the report may take a back seat unless there\u2019s a surprise. But traders should still watch price action around this release, as GBPUSD sits near key resistance and could break either way on deviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thursday, 17 July,<\/strong> kicks off with Australia\u2019s <strong>Employment Change report<\/strong>, where the forecast stands at <strong>+21.0K<\/strong>, a rebound from last month\u2019s -2.5K. If AUDUSD is truly building a base\u2014as recent price action suggests\u2014this report could provide the fuel for a breakout toward 0.6665. Strong numbers here would also help anchor RBA rate expectations and calm recent concerns about domestic demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later that day, the <strong>US Retail Sales m\/m<\/strong> lands, with a forecast of <strong>0.20%<\/strong>, following last month\u2019s -0.90%. A bounce here would paint a picture of improving consumer strength\u2014giving the Fed even more reason to delay any easing cycle. Traders should watch how the USD behaves into this print.
