Ethereum Soars Past $4,500 as Market Expects a Potential Break to $5K

Ethereum prices surged over the past 24 hours, exceeding $4,500 and indicating an aggressive shift in market sentiment. This comes as institutional interest in the asset fuels growth, while the broader crypto market rally bolsters investor confidence. A recent surge of over $1 billion in ETH ETF fund flows adds fuel to this positive momentum. However, analysts point to a critical hurdle: Ethereum must break through specific price levels to reach its highly anticipated $5,000 mark.
