Ethereum price jumped 9% in the last 24 hours, approaching the resistance barrier at $2,400, amid expectations of a breakout. It is clear that capital is starting to move; Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $325.8 million on April 13 alone, while weekly Ethereum fund inflows saw $187 million, their strongest performance in 2026.
At the on-chain data level, Ethereum’s daily transactions increased 41% on a weekly basis to approximately 3.6 million transactions, up from 2.5 million just a few days ago. Macroeconomic relief from easing geopolitical tensions appears to be fueling this trend, as decentralized assets attract new financial allocations. The broader market context suggests a concerted move toward riskier assets, but Ethereum is clearly leading the charge.
Will Ethereum Price Reach $3,000 This Week Despite Bearish Expectations?
ETH is moving compactly in the face of a stubborn price cap, with the price currently testing resistance at $2,400, an area that has capped several recovery attempts in recent weeks. Analysts have identified $2,750 as a realistic target, which represents a 22% upside from current levels, provided Ethereum breaks above $2,400 with strong momentum, citing risk/reward settings of 11.5x with $2,030 as a stop loss.
The technical structure seems encouraging; On-chain signals turned bullish with whales returning to profitability, $135 million worth of ETH moving out of exchanges via staking, and a pattern of ascending dips forming in a classic pre-breakout squeeze. Cumulative Ethereum fund inflows have now reached an all-time high of $11.68 billion, providing favorable institutional context for the move.
Ethereum needs to break through the $2,400 level to pave the way towards the $2,600-$2,800 range, with $2,750 remaining the main target for analysts. In case of failure to hold the $2,100 support, the structure of the ascending lows could collapse, directing the price towards the $2,000 support level.
It is worth carefully monitoring the gap between trading volume and fee revenue; Small increases in transactions may indicate bot activity rather than true organic demand. Ethereum’s overall technical setup indicates an imminent decisive move in either direction.
Maxi Doge may be the meme currency we need
An Ethereum price below $2,400 is exciting, but traders who failed to enter near the $1,800 level are now embarking on a resistance test with a compressed risk-reward ratio. For those seeking asymmetric risk exposure as Ethereum prepares for its next phase, early presales offer a very different calculus.
Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is a meme and trading community built on the Ethereum network, currently on presale at $0.0002813, and has raised $4.7 million so far. The project adopts what it calls a “1,000x leverage trading mentality” through a 240-pound dog mascot.
Features include exclusive trading competitions for coin holders with rewards for leaderboards, a “Maxi Fund” for liquidity and partnerships, and dynamic staking APY for early participants. The project’s slogan, “Don’t miss the leg training day and don’t miss the price hike”, seems to perfectly embody what the coin marketing strategies aim for.
