As of late October, the ether options market continued to show strong open interest at $15 billion, with institutional investors and analysts closely monitoring significant price thresholds as part of a broader focus on Ethereum’s future value.

Technical indicators also reinforce the positive outlook. Ethereum’s price has found stability above the crucial $3,670 to $3,870 support zone, which now acts as a base for a potential upward move.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has raised his short-term target to $4,440, citing a bounce from the lower boundary of a descending parallel channel. Other traders, such as Merlijn, have compared Ethereum’s setup to gold’s rally in 2024, suggesting ETH could follow a similar path to five-figure prices, a view echoed in the Yahoo Finance article.

Institutional adoption of XRP has further fueled this trend. The first U.S. spot XRP ETF has surpassed $100 million in assets, with hedge funds and family offices accounting for 40% of holdings. CME’s XRP futures have recorded $26.9 billion in notional volume since launching in May, reflecting growing trust in the asset’s utility and regulatory standing, as reported by
Although Ethereum is currently trading at $3,880, both technical and institutional factors suggest a bullish outlook. With critical support levels holding and significant accumulation by major players, the prospect of reaching $6,000 or higher is becoming more likely—especially if favorable macroeconomic and regulatory conditions persist.
