Ethereum Price Surges 17% as ETF Inflows Hit $291M in Four Days

Ethereum ETH $1 898 24h volatility: 2.0% Market cap: $229.06 B Vol. 24h: $19.72 B price reclaimed the $3,000 level on Friday, rising 17% from the weekly low of $2,620 logged on November 21.

The recovery has been driven primarily by institutional flows, with US Ethereum ETFs posted $291 million in net deposits over back-to-back sessions since November 21, according to FardiseInvestors data.

ETF demand has revived discretionary buying across derivatives and spot markets. Strategy-focused investors also returned to accumulation mode.

Arkham reported on Friday that Tom Lee–linked wallets saw another $44.3 million ETH inflow into Bitmine-linked wallets, pushing total weekly purchases to $185.6 million. These renewed inflows have propelled Ethereum double-digit price recovery as it reached intraday peaks near $3,070 on November 28.

Ethereum Price Forecast: Can Bulls Trigger a Breakout Toward $4,600?

Institution-driven inflows have powered a 17.8% Ethereum price rebound over the past eight days, while a clearly defined falling-wedge structure now outlines a potential 50% upside move. A falling wedge is a bullish reversal pattern that forms when price compresses between downward-sloping trendlines, signaling weakening seller control and an eventual breakout to the upside.

As ETH approaches the next major resistance cluster beneath the Keltner Channel middle band at $3,108, momentum indicators are firming. MACD has crossed into positive territory, and Woodies CCI has reclaimed the zero line with a sequence of higher lows, reflecting improved liquidity and market sentiment.

A daily close above the mid-wedge resistance zone at $3,150–$3,200 would confirm a full bullish breakout. If validated, the completed wedge resolution projects a measured move toward $4,500–$4,600, marking a 53% advance from current ETH prices.

However, the bullish setup weakens if ETH price loses its $2,880 support shelf. A breakdown below that level risks momentum compression and could force a retest of $2,744 near the lower Keltner boundary, which would invalidate the upside scenario.
