Trump’s Crypto Reserve Inclusion Sparks Ethereum Rally
In a groundbreaking development that has sent shockwaves through the crypto market, Donald Trump’s newly announced US Crypto Reserve has included Ethereum among its select assets, triggering intense speculation about ETH’s price trajectory towards $6,000 in 2025.
The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is currently trading at $2,200, up 5.75% following the announcement. Market analysts are particularly bullish given Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has allocated a staggering $200M to ETH, representing 65% of its total crypto portfolio.
Technical Analysis Points to Major Breakout
The weekly chart shows ETH maintaining crucial support between $1.9K and $2.3K, with the psychologically important $2K level acting as a strong foundation. The 200 EMA on the weekly timeframe provides additional technical validation for the current price levels.
Key technical indicators include:
- Strong support at the $2K psychological level
- Positive reaction to the 200 EMA
- Rectangle pattern suggesting potential breakout to $6K
- Major accumulation zone at $1.9K with 1.82M ETH bought since August 2023
Institutional Backing Strengthens Outlook
Beyond Trump’s endorsement, Ethereum has secured significant institutional support:
- BlackRock chose Ethereum for its tokenized money market fund
- Spot ETF approval alongside Bitcoin
- Major accumulation by long-term investors
